"mother 3" was originally developed for the super famicom (super nintendo entertainment system) beginning in 1994. shigeru miyamoto, head of nintendo entertainment analysis & development and "mother 3" producer, said that "mother 3" was "a commercial decision", since "mother 2" ("earthbound" outside japan) had sold well. by this point, "mother" series creator shigesato itoi had worked on the series' earlier games and "itoi shigesato no bass tsuri no. 1" and was experienced at pitching video games, so miyamoto provided a team willingly. the "mother 2" development team carried over to the new game's development, though several people left and the team grew in size. they forewent the usual prototyping phase and went straight into development expecting to create something unprecedented. itoi said he wanted to make the game like a hollywood film. in september 1994, he predicted that "mother 3" development would end around 1996 with a release on nintendo's then-upcoming console. the team was inspired by "super mario 64" and felt that they too could creatively flourish by making a 3d world without restrictions. their early technical specifications exceeded the capabilities and memory limits of the platform. about halfway through development, the team attempted to scale back its large scope and changed its development platform to the 64dd, a nintendo 64 expansion peripheral. at e3 in june 1997, miyamoto speculated that "mother 3" would be one of the four titles for the then-expected 1998 launch of the japan-only peripheral, but the game was instead converted to a nintendo 64 cartridge-only format upon the commercial failure of the repeatedly delayed 64dd.
