Is it a bad thing for me to want both? Cos i'd personally like to have both, though the latter would be executed differently... Heres how I figure it...
The N64 version of Mother 3 (Known as Earthbound 64) would be the game we all played on the N64, and would probably be the definitive version of the Mother series as it would be in 3D! I remember hearing about Earthbound 64 back in the day when I was a kid, I wanted it pretty bad because at the time when I was young, I had only rented Earthbound for the SNES from Blockbuster, and I figure getting Earthbound 64 would've gotten me schooled in the world of Mother more closely than Earthbound had done at the time. Nonetheless, I was very excited up until I had heard about its cancellation, and I was really upset to hear the news! After that time, I had wondered how I would get into the Earthbound/Mother series now... Oh man, I just went off on a tangent, back to what I was saying... so yeah, we'd have Earthbound 64, which would explain the story of Mother 3...
Then in the future, a GBA version of the game would be like Mother 3.5, a sort of remake to Mother 3 in the beautiful pixels we know of today with the story of the first N64 version, and THEN with a whole new story thrown in, so it would be kind of like a sequel, but kind of not a sequel at the same time!
Now if I absolutely had a choice to pick between Mother 3 on the N64 or the GBA, i'd probably pick the GBA because i'm more familiar with it, and that game made me tear up at the end, any game that can make me emotional at any point is a damn beautiful game IMO. Although to be honest, i'd really REALLY like to play Mother 3 on the N64 also, i'm really curious to see how that would've turned out...
I'm with you meleemario
Sprites are 2D, textured polygons are 3D. It's just WAAAAAAAAAAAAY harder to make 3D games look as smooth and "artistic" as 2D games because of so many technical limitations in interpreting 3-space. :-\
