The game suffered further delays following Spaceworld, and seemed to be losing interest as Nintendo's next-generation Gamecube system prepared to dethrone the Nintendo 64. The 64DD, however, was quickly canned, and Mother 3 was shifted to the normal Nintendo 64 lineup. Further complications arose from the game's use of the 64DD, a complicated N64 add-on which would have provided a real-time clock and disk storage, opening up an entire world of features never before seen on a console game. However, while the storyline was coming along nicely, the development team was having issues with the game's translation to 3D graphics. This unusual blend of disparate elements is something players have come to expect from the Mother series.
The playable demo at Spaceworld 1999 featured a wide variety of scenes and characters, including desert canyons, battles with masked pigs, underground dungeons, a rock and roll concert, a runaway mine-cart chase, and a scene where a giant green dragon runs alongside a futuristic bullet train. Flint also has a dog, Boney, who accompanies him. The main character is a cowboy named Flint who has two twin sons, named "Ryuka" and "Kraus" (later revealed to be "Lucas" and "Claus"). The characters involve a small, seemingly old-west family living in a small, very rural setting. Mother 3's story, however, appears at first glance to be completely unrelated. The screen fades to black and you're presented with the words "The End.?" The second was the final scene of the game, in which you are reminded that one of the villains escaped. EarthBound / Mother 2 had two major events which pointed to the possibility of a sequel: first off was a sign in front of a building that said " Planning Meeting for EarthBound 2".
