Yup. If i remember correctly it was to have Banjo, Conker, Sabrewulf, Rash, Joana Dark, Vela, Sabre Man, and the Xbox live Avatar. But the game never evolved beyond concept art.That name sounds...Terrible, Was it going to have Banjo? He's an animal and he's made by Rare.
Honestly when Metroid Prime 4 was remade from scratch it reminded me a bit about what happened with EB64 it seemed like things were going good until they had trouble developing the game and had to remake it, Of course Mother 3/EB64 had to be completely redone and moved to a new console. At first they were going to move EB64 to Gamecube but then they later decided on the Gameboy Advance for better or for worse.
I saw that someone was trying to remake EB64 but of course it got nowhere probably cause of what you said, I would've been interested in seeing how the Mother games would translate into 3D and how their RPG Elements would transfer over.
One of my pipe dreams is that if Mother 3 ever made it over to America instead of simply translating it they would remake Earthbound 64 and release it worldwide, It's never going to happen though.
Regardless, I still think a Rare themed Kart Racer would be ****ing amazing.
