About a year ago one person managed to snag four blue beta 64DD discs with M3 written on them. The buyer was told that these discs had Mother 3 on them, but he was unable to check the discs even with a 64DD development kit. The missing ingredient is a partner 64 cartridge and floppy discs containing the IPL4 rom program. All of the sudden the missing link popped up on eBay and maybe just maybe we will all get a chance to see Mother 3D soon.

how about everyone here on gaf gives amirox 20 bucks so he can bid?

edit: what if the person that bought the mother 3 discs already sold them or has no interest in buying the DD debug system? we'll never see the real mother 3 :_(

If I understand the article correctly, there are two parts to this puzzle (or rather 3). A 64DD Development Kit, the disks, and the cartridges. Someone out there already has the Dev Kit and disks, but is missing the cartridges...which have now surfaced on eBay.

The chances of the one person with the Dev Kit and disks winning the auction for the cartridges seems highly unlikely...but it would be awesome if it happens.

EDIT: Looks like the auction ALREADY ENDED...winning bid, only $400...

Nowhere in that auction do i see a DD dev kit (which is seperate from a n64 dev kit) and the mother 3 disks.

that's 'just' the 64DD devkit

MrDaravon · Jun 20, 2006

How do we actually know that Mother 3 is on those discs?

Is there even a 64DD emulator?

Its like gathering all three triforces. =O

The missing link that's needed is apparently those floppy disks you can see in the auction picture. The article clearly links that auction as being the "missing link".

It's all over.

Yeah, and the one who does so can make a choice - spread the love to the whole world, or keep it all for himself.

GhostSeed · Jun 20, 2006

I think the guy who has the disks is this guy post #35.

It's a really long thread though.

o i see

well... the ****er who got it better know how to spread the love

hard

BorkBork · Jun 20, 2006

Pay huge sums of money to play an ugly incomplete and probably buggy game on crappy outdated hardware that is readily available with much better graphics on a handheld!

....

I totally want this regardless.

Nintendo is one of the few japanese companies that actually archives old source code, old betas, and unused assets.

He'll need to give it to the guy who has the disks. Some people are apparently willing to pay $3000 to see this thing dumped. Let's just hope that whoever won this knows about this and is willing to loan it out.

Gaia Theory · Jun 20, 2006

If M3 64dd is ever seen by the public, I think we'll all be surprised by how complete the game is.

How crazy is this?

64DD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (not a dev kit.)

I want it. now.

Joe Molotov · Jun 20, 2006

Someone hurry up and port the code to the PC now, so I can play it without having to spend any money or know what an IPL4 rom program is, please.

Xdrive05 · Jun 20, 2006

Is this the game where they cancelled it because they weren't comfortable programming in 3D or something?

Man... so we may actually see screenshots soon?

Senretsu · Jun 20, 2006

I don't quite understand how this works but someone get the **** over there and figure out if this is worth getting excited about. The screens I saw looked like shit, but it's Mother, so I can't help but be intrigued.

He just got the cables to hook up his dev kit last week or something so he's working on dumping on it soon.

Dude the game was playable at E3 like 7 years ago. :lol

There's screenshots and videos galore for this game. Here, there's even an MP3 that I uploaded to YSI for you!
