Lexyvil Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 For those of you who don't know anything about the Mother series, it's a series of quirky and fun RPG games that originated from Japan since the NES-era. They are quite very popular over there and here too. There are three games that have officially been made, but Mother 2 was the only American release (which was called Earthbound) and the protagonists of Mother 2 and 3 can be found in the "Super Smash Brothers" games as Ness and Lucas. Mother 3 never officially came out in America but the fanbase was strong enough to support its popularity and there has also been a fan-made translation that looks superior than what would have normally been the official translation--if there were one. The Mother games were directed by Shigesato Itoi. He claimed a few years ago that Mother 3 would be the last one in the series. During an interview, he stated that he would not mind if fans were to make a fourth game, and so a group of people decided to give it a shot. Now on to the main topic; Mother 4 is in production and has been for a few years now. The interesting fact about this game is that it's being made by Mother fans, and they try to keep it true to the primitive games by keeping similar aspects (especially the music). The new trailer was previewed a few weeks ago and so far, it does look very promising: If you haven't tried any of the Mother games, I suggest you start with Earthbound or Mother 3~ LinovaA, Fred the Barber, mbl and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the Barber Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Wow. That brings back so many fond memories of playing EarthBound when I was a kid. I don't know if I have the patience to play a game like this anymore, but I'll do my best. June is really soon, too! Very exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeah Way Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Holy shit, June!? This is such great news! Man, I'd totally forgotten about this game after hearing about it so long ago; and now it's coming out as soon as I'm out of school! ^^ Thank you so much for posting this!

Mugi Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've been patiently waiting all of these years for this to be finished, and am really glad they are actually planning to release it this year. I want to see some fanmade clay figures of the characters like there are on the main website, I would throw my money at it so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexyvil Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've been patiently waiting all of these years for this to be finished, and am really glad they are actually planning to release it this year. I want to see some fanmade clay figures of the characters like there are on the main website, I would throw my money at it so fast. I bet they would disappear fast on the shelves, like those Amiibos X X Though I can totally see that happen. They're not making the game for money, but rather freely for the fans, old and new. Because of that, I would actually support them by buying extremely expensive clay figures if they were to sell them in masses (And also because they look awesomely designed!)
