That Mother 3 Localization…
If there was one game that Nintendo fans have probably been waiting for longer than any other, it’s the release of Mother 3 in the west. Having never released in the West thanks to the demise of the Game Boy Advance, many fans in the territory are still crossing their fingers and hoping that one day Nintendo will finally let them play the sequel to one of the publisher’s most beloved series.
With charming, retro visuals, witty writing, and a compelling turn-based battle system that requires you to tap along to the rhythm of the music in order to deal more damage, Earthbound is the kind of experience that would resonate perfectly with the RPG-hungry Nintendo Switch audience.
Due to how niche Earthbound’s release was in the West back when it released, we’re almost tempted to suggest just making it a remaster of the entire collection of games. The Switch audience is proven to love it some RPG goodness, and if there’s an IP that could 1000% capitalize on that, it’s Earthbound… Mother… whatever you wanna call it!
