EarthBound 64

Role-playing (RPG)

Fantasy

EarthBound's abandoned sequel, or Mother 3 as most know it, was a bold experiment in 3D. Its charming, claymation-esque art style and turn-based combat system were a direct evolution of its predecessor, but the shift to polygonal graphics allowed for more detailed environments. The game's episodic structure and focus on a small cast of characters, each with distinct personalities and abilities, made for a surprisingly intimate RPG experience, even if it never saw a release outside of Japan.

About EarthBound 64

Details
EarthBound 64 would probably get most of the plot points that pertained to the later released Mother 3. In that game, chaos ensues after an invasion by the Pigmask Army, named after the uniforms, which resemble pigs, and its leader, Porky Minch, the "Pig King". They slowly construct a police state, while experimenting on the land's flora and fauna, and introducing new technology and infrastructure to the islands. The various chapters record the life of a boy named Lucas and his family and friends, banding together to rid the Nowhere Islands of the Pigmask Army.
