why though? mother 3 was made and everyone played it. if itoi doesnt want to make a new one, thats that. its not like how atlus doesnt just release the announced smt v after 3 years.
Ew. No? I’m confused as to Why you think this would be a good idea? What about crono trigger would somehow enhance Mother? Looking like Dragonball? No. Playing like Final Fantasy? No. Written like Dragon Quest? No. I’m confused.
Mother is good as it is. Only Itoi could come up with ideas that scream Earthbound. And if he doesn’t want to do it again, people just need to leave the series as it is. Meanwhile there are plenty of indies and fan games to fill the gap!
Honestly a Earthbound and Chrono Trigger crossover wouldn't fundamentally work at all. There is just too many differences between them to make it not forced!
@@TristanLackey I'm not saying a crossover I'm just saying if some people from the Chrono team worked with HAL on an Earthbound sequel it might do even stronger in certain areas compared to the original Earthbound.
Sucks Itoi rejected the pitch, but yeah not much could be done there since when it comes to Earthbound "if Itoi says no then that means no," even if Iwata was the one who was trying to help get the project off the ground.
@@JakeRanney I'd honestly rather it look like Smash Bros or Persona Q, but yeah, it'd be really cool to have an Earthbound Triology remake, especially if the Three games use the Mother 3 gameplay and are rebalanced to fit.
you should start putting the title of the game you’re showing video of in the corner so it doesn’t confuse people , its weird when you’re talking about a game called “Flux” but have Billy Hatcher gameplay in the background .. just doesn’t mix
In these videos sometimes there are cases where I'm unsure if the footage being shown is of said unreleased game or from another game. I recommend you label what game's footage is being shown similar to how you credit footage/images by their respective users/sites so it's clear what is shown.
Character models, water, and light effects still look decent, but it's got some REALLY muddy textures that were sub-par even by the standards of the time of its release.
The game being shown should be labelled, cause I was never sure when I was looking at the game you were talking about or random footage unless I happened to know the game.
@@LycanLink No kidding if they finished it and released it as a thing we wouldn't be talking about it, considering how unfocused the project was, it's not surprising to see it get the axe in the end. Now if we can just get Metal Arms back...
I'm not sure if it's a common thought, but I can't help but suggest that these videos are in desperate need of pauses... You go from one topic to another so quickly that it's easy to lose concentration. Give viewers a chance to think of what facts they were just told by pausing in between topics. It's important to give periods their proper timing.
You know I don't blame Swingin' Ape Studios for taking Blizzard up on that offer but as a guy who loved Metal Arms it's a shame that they never got to make that sequel.
I feel bad for them. They cancelled what likely would've been a highly anticipated sequel to make *another* game that would get cancelled. I wonder what would've happened if they just stuck with the MA sequel.
Besides Earthbound (which was never even started so it can't be called "cancelled") surely no one really is sorely missing any of these titles here. They all look like the typical 6/10 at best stuff that was everywhere in the PS2/GC/Xbox era.
Honestly a lot of these games sound really interesting, don't know how some of them would sell but I would love to try them. It just sucks how many games didn't make it due to not finding a publisher. Really shows how hard it is to sell a new IP.
For real!! It's even worse nowadays, it seems like 90% of games being released are reboots, remakes/remasters/reimaginings, or sequels. Rarely are new innovative IP's released, makes me sad to be honest.
It's such a disconnect to see them talk about one game while showing footage of a COMPLETELY different game just to have filler video. Also: 8:48 developed by "CAR-a-space"
You're talking about 'Flux', but showing footage from 'Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg'. I spent the entire clip going "wait, that game did come out, I KNOW THIS", and went on a quick hunt for the name. I realize and sympathize that there's going to be very little footage -- if any -- of cancelled games. But you really need to make it EXPLICIT when you're showing a video clip not related to what's being discussed. That was incredibly confusing. :P
yeah.... i wanna play a game about an isolated south american tribe of 400-to-500 people _easily colonizing_ the modern-day united states and its brutally-cruel, inhuman technology-dependent weaklings... teaching us so-called “1st-world” nations how to be Civilized and learn how to survive in this world without killing 17 animals every time we eat a sandwich and putting 14 plant species into extinction everytime we manufacture a new innovative “product”.... you could call it “the bright continent”
@@Zack-xu2zw thanks for reminding me of this cool story i wrote 4 months ago! it points insightfully at the doublestandard of centrist media depicting old non-european civilizations as being wise & healthy and then refusing to depict them as kicking western society’s ass
Forgot if it was this episode or the last one but I completely forgot about the game i ninja. I played it so long ago and forgot it existed. It's crazy how many things from my childhood I forget about until someone brings it up. I do remember that growing up in the 90s and early 2000s was awesome. The 90s had their own feeling to them that hasn't been replicated since
Looking back at a lot of these, several promising games seemed to fizzle due to lack of publisher wanting to pick it up. It really makes me glad for all the indie programs and digitally distribution channels available for self-publishing games nowadays
We know quite a lot about the story of Starcraft Ghost, actually. A few months ago, someone uncovered data for several missions' worth of gameplay and many story conversations.
I thought that realsitic looking Basketball game with Mario characters (which I just learned is called Street Kings) was a fever dream. I must have run across the trailer on UA-cam for it over a decade ago or footage of it somehow aired on TV.
We often think about big game studios like Rockstar, Ubisoft, Naughty Dog, etc etc. But there are a lot of game studios trying to break in the industry but didn't make it.
Ion Runner looks like it would have been a good game. I really like the artwork. Stuntpigs looks and sounds like it would have been a fun little game too. Asylum on the other hand looks like it would have been absolutely terrifying.
Yea, I guess it does. But it is another tornado game, & we don't get enough of those games, especially nowadays. It would've been *awesome* if we got Tornado Alley on the GCN, instead of it being cancelled 😢
I can get not wanting to do the GCN Mother game as a SEQUEL, but not doing it as a remake of the first, second or both original titles in the new art style, was a huge missed opportunity, even if it had remained Japan only.
Uh, tornado alley released, but by wild tangent games for the pc. I really like it, you just destroy stuff to power up the tornado while avoiding man made machines built to thwart the tornado

"News that will disappoint EarthBound/MOTHER fans everywhere..."
Oh please. There is no such thing, we have become fully numb to any of that.
That’s our secret Cap. We’re always disappointed
Up top
The only thing keeping me from going crazy is all the great fangames being made in the mother community
why though? mother 3 was made and everyone played it. if itoi doesnt want to make a new one, thats that. its not like how atlus doesnt just release the announced smt v after 3 years.
Seems like the earthbound fans are the new half life 3 confirmed guys. Earthbound 2/mother 3 confirmed?
The early 2000s were such an odd and experimental time in gaming... it's crazy to think how much more of that we could have seen.
I'm imagining that Earthbound-sequel "lunch meeting" with Iwata and Itoi going down a lot like Steamed Hams.
ter?
It's a Tōhoku dialect...
"Hello iwata, came here for the lunch meeting!
So, what are we eating?"
An earthbound sequel with one of the main team from Chrono Trigger would have been amazing
If only I lived in an alternate universe where this game exists
Ew. No? I’m confused as to Why you think this would be a good idea? What about crono trigger would somehow enhance Mother? Looking like Dragonball? No. Playing like Final Fantasy? No. Written like Dragon Quest? No.
I’m confused.

Earthbound on GameCube with the claymation style would've cool if it was released
I'm still holding out hope that they do a remake of the Earthbound/MOTHER Trilogy in this style
I agree
Sucks Itoi rejected the pitch, but yeah not much could be done there since when it comes to Earthbound "if Itoi says no then that means no," even if Iwata was the one who was trying to help get the project off the ground.
@maltese 84 I'm pretty sure the art style in earthbound was inspired by peanuts character like charlie Brown
@@JakeRanney I'd honestly rather it look like Smash Bros or Persona Q, but yeah, it'd be really cool to have an Earthbound Triology remake, especially if the Three games use the Mother 3 gameplay and are rebalanced to fit.

YES
agreed
Yeah, I often get the game he's talking about and the gameplay on screen confused
True. Having never seen many of these games, it gives the impression that he is showing gameplay of the unreleased game he's referring to.
Agree. I almost thought i was looking at those rare footages
Ah yes, my favorite character archetype: "The girl"
"Nice and legal."
I laughed a lot with that too, like, 'the girl' equally prepared to kill monsters as much as the hero, the scientist and the engineer
The obligatory woman character "the girl" lol
Example of this archetype: Kairi
@@Pyrospriter042 Not to be confused with the playable/actual party member version: The Chick
I remember reading a promo for Four Horsemen in a copy of Tips and Tricks magazine back in 2003. I was so hype for it to come out, but it never did.
Darksiders is closest we got
Honestly it's sad when such possibly amazing games get cancelled. even sadder when you realize that we'll possibly never get to play them
Unless they somehow still keep prototypes of the game and such which could be accessed and salvaged by fans
@@TheMedjed-k9n yes but they never share them with the world, and most of the time. we are not even able to get to em
Ikr, the Barbie game that got canceled was what everyone wanted and they ruined it.
Right? These videos always make me depressed because we’ll never see how these games might have turned out
At least the Kirby game got released eventually, first heavily reworked into Triple Deluxe and then in its more or less original form as Star Allies.

All this Mario Sunshine footage looks so clean
Never really realised how good the game actually looks.
Character models, water, and light effects still look decent, but it's got some REALLY muddy textures that were sub-par even by the standards of the time of its release.
Most game cube games still look absolutely fantastic even today such an underrated machine
7:34 rip syd mead.
God i love his Turn A Gundam,Turn X Gundam, and Sumo designs.
I miss my GameCube. Switch needs to start emulating stuff. The potential for nostalgia buying is ridiculous. They limit only themselves.
12:43 Is that... Super Punch-Out's Little Mac?
Yes, he is playable in Fight Night: Round 2 for the Gamecube.
Yep. The GameCube version of Fight Night Round 2 had the Super Punch-Out!! version of Little Mac as a playable character.
Yes, and he's hideous.
The game being shown should be labelled, cause I was never sure when I was looking at the game you were talking about or random footage unless I happened to know the game.
Ah, yes, StarCraft Ghost...what a mess that was amidst all the other cancellations.
Gosh, I was so excited for that back then. What a bummer. :(
@@LycanLink No kidding if they finished it and released it as a thing we wouldn't be talking about it, considering how unfocused the project was, it's not surprising to see it get the axe in the end. Now if we can just get Metal Arms back...
Yeah, there was a “Wha Happun” episode on it. It was quite good.
I find it funny that they made a novel for a game that never was
I dont play starcraft but I do want to play this. Shame it never developed

6:03 Ah yes, just like with the early concepts of A Link to the Past, we have the timeless and unforgettable player class - girl.
"In news that'll disappoint Earthbound/Mother fans everywhere..."
That's okay, they're used to overwhelming disappointment by now anyways.
So, we almost got a Mother game by a Chrono Trigger team lead, fully backed by Iwata.
I love Itoi, but goddamn.
A gamecube mother game would have been amazing
Yeah
