An interesting bit of Earthbound history was just revealed on Twitter courtesy of Baten Kaitos director Yasuyuki Honne. During Honne’s stint at Namco, he apparently pitched Nintendo a concept for a Mother game on the Nintendo GameCube. It had a distinct art style, to say the least.
Honne revealed this secret Earthbound game in celebration of a new book about the late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata that was just released in Japan last week. Japanese lifestyle company Hobonichi, founded by Earthbound creator Shigesato Itoi, published the book about Iwata.
