1997 |

This was the year that many of the characters were redesigned to what would be there designs up until cancellation. The last few screenshots are some of the highest quality EB64 screenshots since they come directly from the Nintendo Spaceworld 1997 press disc.

1999 |
|
|
This was the game's biggest year and when it made its playable debut at Nintendo Spaceworld 1999.
These particular screenshots were taken from Spaceworld '99 press discs and tapes by IGN and Videogames.com.
The screenshots with a visible overscan (the black border around the game) were posted by both IGN and Videogames.com. These are likely from the press disc (which hasn't been found). The screenshots without the overscan seem to be unique direct captures of the trailer on the press tape as they are different between IGN and Videogames.com.

2000 |

This batch of 24 screenshots are the last that were ever taken of EB64. They were posted on Shigesato Itoi's website 1101.com to accompany the game's cancellation post.
They give a rough idea of which parts of the game were put in before it was canned, mainly showing the Nintendo 64 equivalents of chapters 1-3 from the Game Boy Advance version with a couple of screenshots showing what seems to be chapters 4-8.
These screenshots are notorious for their low jpeggy quality which was added to reduce their file size and save space back in 2000.
