At the end of january 2008 i was probably asleep somewhere, while Mato did an interesting translation of the Itoi / Miyamoto / Iwata round-table discussion about the cancellation of Mother 3 / Earthbound 64. Here are some parts:
“Iwata says the game was originally planned to be a Super Famicom game for a very short time (probably before MOTHER 2 was even finished, according to other stuff I’ve read), then for the N64 Disk Drive, then for the regular N64… it spanned 6 years, basically.”
“Miyamoto feels bad, but says it’s more correct to say that the project just couldn’t continue on. The project was taking too much of a toll on progress for the upcoming Dolphin (later called GameCube) system. It wasn’t because the game wasn’t progressing well or that it wouldn’t do well, it was just because of the GameCube development stuff. It just couldn’t continue on.”
It’s nice to read their thoughs about the end of the Mother 64 Project, even more now that you can read them in english, or at least the first 2 pages: there are some more pages of that misterious moon language that still need be translated, so check Mato’s blog for the future next updates!
Development for Final Fantasy XII began in 2001. Final Fantasy Tactics creator Yasumi Matsuno, originally announced as producer and director, was forced to bow out of both roles midway through the creation of Final Fantasy XII due to health concerns.

Matsuno’s departure was regretted by series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, who declined to play Final Fantasy XII beyond the Read more
Fallout 3 was initially under development by Black Isle Studios, a studio owned by Interplay Entertainment, under the working title Van Buren. Van Buren was set to carry on the Fallout series, following Fallout 2, prior to being cancelled. Interplay Entertainment went bankrupt and closed down Black Isle Studios before the game could be completed, and the license to develop Fallout 3 was sold for Read more
When it was first announced, Dragon Quest 9 was meant to have real-time action battles, but later (maybe for the critics of die-hard fans of the saga), SquarEnix decided to retain the traditional turn-based system. It’s possible that there are even more differences in these old screens & videos, so if you notice some beta stuff, please let us know!
Also, Yosh93 found these debug items (and a debug mode with the original name of the profect : Xenelon) in the final game:
