New SpaceWorld 1996 footage of the cancelled Earthbound 64 game has been found
A handful of interesting videos have appeared on a YouTube channel, thanks to a user by the name of kunkun kun, who has uploaded footage from Nintendo's SpaceWorld 1996 event. Shown within the video are pre-release demos of noteworthy Nintendo 64 titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Star Fox 64, and perhaps most shockingly, the canceled Mother 3, or how it would have been known as in the west: Earthbound 64. At 10:30 into the video, we can see an incredibly early version of Mother 3 being displayed. The game would later return to further SpaceWorld events, even being playable for the public in 1999, where it was claimed to be "60% complete", though development would come to a halt during Nintendo's shift towards the GameCube, and Mother 3 would eventually find its footing as the game we know today, which released exclusively in Japan for the Game Boy Advance.
