Well its not an urban legend because my friend donated a couple bucks to the dumping cause. Thats not to mention this info was circulating all over Zophar.net at the time, and the certain Nintendo employee had the cart with pics, screen caps from his NES and such. And several months later when we got the 400 something odd bucks that he requested, we got the dump, and no one translated it and we all played the ROM - because it was already done in English.
Btw, he didn't just get a hold of it. It was in their store rooms, and they were cleaning it out and he happened to "appropriate it," because they would have tossed it anyways. You know its no lie, when the game ROM is actually out.
You want proof, go download it, and play it, because I did. And many others have.
And the reason he requested money is because there was only 1 of these prototype carts made. He requested money because he felt it would have decreased the intrinsic worth of such a unique cart if it were to be dumped. So he wanted money to make up for it.
BUt this is definitely a game to buy. Hopefully they redo the graphics to EB0. I'm definitely getting these Mother games. Itoi btw, said that he's making MOther 3 off the original storyline he had for the N64 game. Thats good news.
