The winner of the auction refused to allow the NES emulation community to dump it unless he was paid for it, stating the value of such a rarity would decrease if dumped to a ROM file.Ī fund raiser was held by two guys named Demi and Wildbill, who paid the buyer and got it dumped. For whatever reason, they decided not to publish it stateside, and the prototype card ended up being forgotten about.įast forward to about 1998 or so, and somebody had gotten their hands on the prototype and were auctioning it on eBay. Nintendo came very close to releasing it in the US, so close that they had completed the translation and done some other things and even burned the EPROM to an NES cartridge. =PĮarthbound Zero is not a translation of Mother (The Japanese title), but an unreleased official Nintendo prototype. I've yet to play Mother 3 (waiting on the translation for that one) but even so, if Nintendo were to find it in their hearts to somehow release a Mother megapack with all three games on the DS or even Virtual Console, I'd be up to get them. I mean, if you compare it to its SNES brother of course it's going to be inferior, but not a whole lot is different between the games. I've actually played some of Earthbound Zero (I assume that it's not really a hack and instead is a dumped ROM for an unreleased cartridge) and it wasn't bad. Well, maybe if I had a walkthrough it'd be nice but even then having to play Metal Gear Link with all of those guards.yeah, I died to the tile floor going through the second time because I had gone the wrong way or something. Zelda: Parallel Worlds is excessively difficult. And speaking of difficult.yeah, I got obliterated early on by a Power Beam-immune Space Pirate. Made getting used to the controls a lot more difficult. Metroid Redesign.okay, I admit that I hated how they changed her jump gravity. I'm somewhere in Norfair at the start now. Metroid Legacy was pretty cool, and it took a bit of thinking to get around areas. The graphics are a little ugly at times (like said Toad area) but otherwise not bad for a difficulty hack.
I managed to cure Toad and I STILL haven't been able to fire pills. Mario World was amazing too, if a lot harder than other Marios I've played. Toad's Houses are cute but easily-abused features.ĭr. I would've really liked if they had kept it using the SMW sprites and all instead of splicing together SMB3 graphics and SMB1 gameplay with the SMW engine. I understand you can't get rid of the map screen but it was done pretty well. Straight fireballs from Super Smash Bros.! I like how they actually interact with the environment too. Mario is Missing 2 is pretty amusing too. I want to know just how many times it took the people to get through that intro demonstration perfectly though! Super Demo World is as cool as I remember it, can't wait to get to the later levels to see how crazy it gets. So I didn't get a chance to play it naturally. Mario Kart R didn't load for me in either ZSNES or SNES9x. Okay, so I've actually tried some of these out now.
