"Earthbound 64 (Japanese: Mother 3) was a cancelled game that was going to be released for the Nintendo 64 and then on the Nintendo 64DD. Several years later it was revealed that the project had started up again for the Game Boy Advance under the form of Mother 3. Much of the story seems to be based off the information known about EarthBound 64, including the four main characters, and a plot involving a Pig Army, but it is unknown how close the plots are to each other due to the small amounts known about this game." - [wikipedia]

However, while the story was well planned storyline-wise, the development team was not used to working with 3D graphics. They had trouble developing it, and the game suffered delay after delay. It ran into further delays when, around 1998, it was announced as one of the launch titles for the 64DD, a disk-drive attachment for the Nintendo 64 which planned to enhance games. As the 64DD met it's doom in Japan, Mother 3 moved off of its list of games. Mother 3 made an appearance of Spaceworld in 1999, showing screenshots, a movie, and a playable demo, and with this, it looked as if Mother 3 would finally come out.

All these signs of completion showed nothing. The game suffered further delays following spaceworld, when finally, in late summer of 2000, it was announced that Mother 3 was cancelled. The shock hit the Earthbound community hard, but Mother 3 simply had too many problems at the time. It was full of bugs and still not completed. It was also losing interest, as the new Gamecube system made the Nintendo 64 obsolete. More information about Mother 3's cancellation can be found here.

@zelakzanai I don't know where you heard that because Mato has been showing the major differences between Mother 2 and Earthbound including stuff that was translated differently and from what he told Me when I asked him whether the letter was different and was more complex he said that no Pokey's letter that Picky gives to Ness is pretty much the same in both Mother 2 and Earthbound, he even said it seems more like you heard a rumor that spreads easily.

kinda glad this never saw the light of day...something about the 3d style was just not right at all.

@Vectorben That would seem right, since in the 90's, kids with red hats were all the rage.
