Earthbound Beginnings/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Fan Nickname]]: The game is widely known as "EarthBound Zero". Its North American release was canceled at the last minute, and the [[Dub Name Change]] title, ''Earth Bound'', was later reused, albeit without the space, for [[EarthBound|the SNES sequel]] ''MOTHER 2''. When a prototype of the game was discovered and dumped, after a few modifications to get it to work properly on the emulators of the day, the releasers tacked "Zero" onto the title screen to differentiate the release from the nonfunctional ROM releases, also acting as a nod to it sharing the name of its sequel, and the name stuck.

* [[Fan Translation]]: At the time of the discovery of the English prototype, a group of fans had been working on their own fan translation; eventually, they were the ones who obtained the prototype and released the ROM to the general public, and for a while there were those who saw that as somewhat suspicious.

* [[Word of Dante]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQUN7QAnMp0 The live-action commercial]'s depiction of Ninten is the basis of a vast majority of fanart of this game - adopting his neckerchief and slightly different clothing here as a way to differentiate Ninten from Ness, who is by far the more famous wearer of their standard clothing.
