    So they're bringing like a Mother collection to the Wii-U or more likely the 3ds then?
    That's awesome!
    I need to return to Earthbound soon.

    I had a feeling this would happen eventually, I'm excited to see what will happen as a result.

    If it's a Mother collection I will get it for sure if it's released in North America. I never really got to play Earthbound and I would like to play it.

    This is kind of interesting news to me because as far as I know, Nintendo wouldn't even release Earthbound on the VC because of some copyrighted references.
    I don't understand how this would be any different.
    Still I would be very happy about it, but it sounds like something that would have been nuked a long time ago.

    I never played any Mother games besides Earthbound on SNES soo many years ago. I'd like to try these out if they do indeed get released to NA.

    There's almost NO reason they'd NOT release them in the states, as far as I can tell. It's not like NoA just hates the series or something; their decisions (well, the decisions of NoJ) about bringing Mother games over have been very well-informed and business-smart. The only hurdle will be copyright issues in EarthBound, and IIRC there are really one two or three major things in the game that warrant change, as judged by Nintendo themselves. Meaning not too much work and not too much damage.

    And the thing is, it's not even just EarthBound in the picture now. It appears as if they're bringing back the entire series - which puts the entire series up in the air for a Western release. I don't think they'd let some easily changeable things in ONE game out of three stop them from making money (and I would think that it is fairly clear that there is now a western Mother market).

    The Earthbound games always feel like Super Mario RPG to me. Fans of the games talk these games up like they're some of the best games imaginable, but they don't end being very good when I finally sit down to play them. I didn't really like Super Mario RPG so I'm not getting my hopes up for anything Earthbound related.

    That's a great news for EB fans, I didn't know anything about this game except from Super Smash Bros Series.
    BTW, I think the the title of this thread should be descreptive.... Just saying.

    Oh the games are far from being the best games ever, hell, the gameplay itself is pretty bad really. I guess it's just the unique experience that makes people praise the games
    I do think they're exaggerating a little bit at times though

    But it is descriptive ;]

    Yeah, like Hunter said, they're not without their technical flaws, but for those who can enjoy them they give such a unique and special experience - a kinda personal one - that it attaches us to them <3

    The only title that I've played is Mother 3, and I really, really enjoyed it. If this is true, and we end up getting some kind of collection or something similar, I'd buy it.

    Finally they are putting some attention to the Mother series. I would enjoy a Mother 4 but this is incredible news. Virtual Console or 3DS remakes is what I have in mind.
