It's just a mockup, ignore them. The true loss is Mother 64 itself, of which the GBA version is just a castrated 12 hour summary or a 60 hour game. Itoi is a hack for moving the game to fucking GBA (lol) instead of GC, all because he played the GBC DQ1-3 remakes.
We lost out on:
>the actual prologue where Flint saved a villager from as Kraken
>other chapters that were condensed into cutscenes. NPCs from Tazmily would have much more going on as they reacted to the story and aged (perfect example is the girl who was reduced to simply saying, "
I like the sea", who had an actual background and story in the N64 promotional materials.
>An overall darker story that likely wouldn't have thrown in out of place jokes at inappropriate times
>Overworld physics that let you tackle NPCs, trip, slide and jump
>Full fledged playable characters like Wess
>A more complex battle system that involved swapping out the in-use character
>An overworld that actually required the pork bean to traverse, rather than being confined to one area.
>All of Leder's exposition about the end of the world were actual cutscenes where you would see what happened to EB's locations
>Actual; choreographed cutscenes with camera movement and actual atmosphere vs the meme GBA blank face graphics because hurr lets make it look like Earthbound!
>Strong N64 midi vs the dogshit GBA chip
>Magypsie who actually looked like magical hermits vs the lmao drag queens we got
Itoi should remake the 3D version for Switch 2, with all the content restored.
