But people already call the GBA mother 3 an "in name only" sequel anyways, especially Japanese audiences apparently. I mean, there really is a stark difference between Mother 3 and the rest of the series, as you said they were really "pushing it" into a new dark territory that was not evident in the prior two games. So I think it would've been more appropriate if they went all-in on their new vision, and show it visually it making the jump from 2d to 3d. I think the colorful sprite visuals were more appropriate for the story of Mother 2. Also, you don't think the 3d models were as capable of expression as the 2d sprites? Flint shows more expression here than he does in the entirety of the GBA mother 3, and of course these are all beta screenshots, the finished product would've surely been far more polished

Yes, I still have old magazines with screenshots and preview hype for it.

I hope someday, somehow we can play the prototype. Nintendo still had it in their archives, at least up until 2006 when Mother 3 for GBA was being made, they let the dev team play the N64 proto.
