E3 2010 3DS demos, discovered by James-Money, reveal that the 3D Classics line had many more games planned. "Earth Bound Zero" is one of them, showing that there was already internal interest in releasing the localization build and that Nintendo used the fan name to refer to it.

Recently, Twitter user doseiyota shared photos they took at the MOTHER 1+2 release event. In one of them, you can see the second iteration of Paula along with the replacement Mr. Saturn, both of these models are extremely rare. But there is also a Ness model that has never been documented before.

The 1996 music software SimTunes features Benimaru Itoh as one of its artists. The gallery notes of the software lists the various artists along with a short description. Benimaru Itoh's description references him currently being involved in an N64 RPG, most likely EarthBound 64.

Another example of Picross 3D reusing EarthBound 64 concept art can be seen with this map background that has the concept art of the tree cafe placed as a landmark. It is also worth noting that the map has other landmarks that may also be recycled (and undocumented) concept art.
