I found these these European magazine scans of old Nintendo articles circa 1995, that I found a long while ago on the internet. These scans are old articles of the then-upcoming Nintendo Ultra 64 and Super Mario RPG, which I've decided to share to you all.

This scans feature an interview with Yasuhiro Minagawa and Yoshio Hongo of the General Affairs Department (Public Relations, I think.) about plans for the Ultra 64 (and Nintendo's decision about it using carts over CDs), SquareSoft's plans of the time and Super Mario RPG, and even some tiny mentions of Mother 3 and Star Fox 2 on the Super Famicom (SNES)! These are two scans of Maximum. Issue 2, Page 107 & 108.

There have been calls from all ages and from young girls, for another character to which they could become attached. Mario was the best, but had not been in and RPG. Nintendo’s director Mr. Miyamoto also wanted to do an RPG using Mario. There happened to be a chance for both companies to talk which went well. Nintendo wanted to do a Mario RPG and Square had the programming ability, so Mario could become a popular RPG character anywhere in the world.




------
They particular scans are from the October 1995, 36th Issue of Super Play, a British Nintendo magazine that ran from the early-to-mid 1990s. These pages contain samples of areas not found in the final game, screen-shots of vastly different content in the game, and a wire-frame diagram of the original (BUTT UGLY) 3D Mario model.



Enjoy.
