Earlier this month someone put a 1998 Nintendo CD-ROM up for sale. The online auction winner was a Twitter user named Zen, who paid the equivalent of $ 357 for the item after discovering the disc contained footage of the abandoned N64 project. EarthBound 64 – then also known as Mother 3.

So what is it that gives us? 25 seconds previously unseen footage of the EarthBound 64 from the 1997 Space World event in Japan. There is no sound and the video is limited to 240p. This footage is different from the clip we saw in 2019 and 2006. And we have to admit, for a Nintendo 64 game, it looks pretty impressive in some sequences.
