I remember those screenshots. Probably good that it never came out, since I think we have a better chance of seeing it here in the US on the GBA. However, I never really liked EarthBound. The gameplay felt a few steps back from other RPGs out at the time (like FF6), and the story was so nonsensical that it was hard to know what to do or where to go next. The game came packaged with the strategy guide in the US for a reason. I will say that it was one of the first games to have a really good English translation (for the time, anyway).
