An untitled EarthBound game was in development for the Nintendo GameCube. The project was discussed in Summer of 2003, although the exact date of the beginning and cancelation of the project is unknown.

In a Twitter report by Baten Kaitos director Yasuyuki Honne, he had met with the then-Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and EarthBound series creator Shigesato Itoi to discuss potentially making an EarthBound entry for the Nintendo GameCube, which uses a felt like artstyle according to the concept artwork. However Itoi stated he was not interested as he felt it seemed "a little strange" with Hoenn claiming Itoi "seemed flabbergasted". At the end of the report Hoenn stated Itoi did however like the 1980s felt recreation of America.

Gameplay

Little is known about how the gameplay was going to be, although concept art shows it was going to be similar to the traditional EarthBound style RPG gameplay. The game was going to feature a felt like artstyle with Ness as the protagonist. Only two pieces of artwork were shown: one shows Ness outside a house in a town reminiscent of Onett. The second image shows four Nesses fighting an enemy resembling the Bag Lady from EarthBound Beginnings.
