Whoa.

I'm literally wiping the tears of joy from my eyes.

Bleh, disregard the "US Release" bit. If a mod could edit it, much <3. Still. Earthbound.

I already knew they were making it. So is it confirmed it's coming out in the U.S?

That would rock my life

Taken care of.


This is pretty cool. Earthbound is a neat series.

But everybody already knows it's coming out for the GBA. This isn't new news.

If it doesn't get picked up for stateside, someone'll fan translate it.

Hey, it's the guy from Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I take it his games are pretty good then?

Mother 3 was "announced" in 2003. It took more than a year before we heard any news about it. The only news was in 2004. Miyamoto said that Itoi was working on Mother 3, and that was it. After the interview, we heard bupkiss. No screenshots, no nothin', there was absolutely no mention of Mother 3 coming out of Nintendo at all. And this went on for about a whole year. Given that Earthbound 64 was cancelled in late production, many people were very concerned that GBA Mother 3 had dissapeared. I can't say I blame them. Working for 2 years on a game and having absolutely nothing to show for it is very disheartening.

The reason this announcement is so awesome is that the big man himself has announced that Mother 3 is still here, and it's release is imminent. It's very important news.
