October 18th, 2009 | EarthBound 64, Merchandise
Jack recently sent this in:
eBay has a subsidiary company called half.com where you can search for and pick up a lot of things (video games) for cheap. One of the first games I searched for of course was EarthBound, and… the attached picture might evoke some of the same thoughts it did in me.
I added it to my wishlist!
It’s true! You can see for yourself here.
The “EarthBound Expansion Disk” that’s on there is also referring to the old so-called “MOTHER 3.5″. When EarthBound 64 was moved from the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive to just a regular cart, the developers decided that they’d also have an expansion disk that you could use if you had the 64 Disk Drive. There weren’t many details given about what it would actually do, but the idea quickly vanished from people’s memories. So it’s interesting to see it here after all these years

I’m going to write letters to Shigesato Itoi and the staff members who worked at HAL asking if they have access to any copies of the incomplete 64 version I might be allowed to look at if I came to visit.
I’m sure there are at least half a dozen forgotten copies nestled away somewhere, so why not?

Since, if I remember right, someone also got into contact with the translator for Mother… it can’t be too hard. The world is a small place, and while it’s probably hard to reach people like Itoi, just being a developer for a famous game doesn’t make you an unreachable celebrity.

I could also frame it along the lines of “I work for a… popular videogame reporting site… and would be very interested in writing an article on the history of this game” implying they’ll get some publicity – good if the only publicity they’ve had to that point is their name in some credits. If they don’t have to do anything other than respond with “yes” and let me visit them, why, who’d refuse!

Some day, I hope the ROM of the prototype finds its way to the Internet… It would be really interesting.

Oh dear god…
That’s like putting an option for EB 0, except EB0 would just have cheap reproduction carts

That is pretty awesome. Too bad they never have it in stock. I guess everyone who has a copy doesn’t want to give it up.

I can’t even imagine the excitement it would cause if an EB64 test cart DID manage to find its way onto the internet. Of course, I would be contributing to that excitement.

I think ebay is messing with our heads. It’s like they’ve decided to anticipate a leak of the cart of something. Maybe they have a psyhic?

I saw this a while ago when I was looking for snes games in particular earthbound, funny how they can have a game listed that doesn’t even exist.
