Take a melody
Really late to comment on this, I realize, but while the cartridge itself was a prototype, the ROM was complete, or at least completed enough that it's what was used for the game's official English releases on Wii U Virtual Console and the Switch (2) Online services. To my knowledge there are no changes to the ROM itself compared to the leaked prototype. They didn't even change Giegue to Giygas or the title screen to say EarthBound Beginnings.
Agreed
this game is called Earth (space) Bound and I'm dying on this hill
I remember a glitch in the Japanese version where the box doesn't give you the GGF's diary and you get softlocked out of Magicant.
On the NES, it WAS a Prototype. It wasn't completed until years later when it was put on the Virtual Console, which is not the NES.
why is it called "prototype", like I guess that's true that EARTHBOUND BEGINNINGS is a prototype, but Mother isn't, so I don't think it should have prototype in it. As well, most if not all graphics would've been the same between this prototype and the un-made final version of Earthbound Beginnings
Evetually this got ported as Earthbound Beginnings in 2015 on the wii u eshop and later ported on the NES emulator in 2021 i think
@Raimbowyosh123 When it was planned to be released in the US as "Earth Bound" before being canned, it had a prototype version. It was eventually in the US again released 20-some years later, again renamed, this time as "Earthbound Beginnings."
Prototype?
I feel as though the title for this game should be "Earthbound Beginings/Mother", since the official name has been revealed.
