Earthbound, eller Mother, var en populär serie som, även om den främst har fans i Japan, fortfarande har en lojalt och globalt community. Ett tredje kapitel i Mother-serien kom faktiskt till GameBoy Advance för över 15 år sedan, men det spelet släpptes aldrig i västvärlden.
Men det kan väl ändras? Tyvärr verkar det tveksamt. I en intervju hos Kinda Funny säger Fils-Aimé att det faktiskt inte är något vi bör hoppas på:
"Don't hold your breath. Again, I'm not there [anymore], I don't know what's going on. While [former Nintendo CEO] Mr Iwata was alive, he really understood the passion that fans had for the Mother series. And you need to remember that it was under his watch that {Earthbound Beginnings} was first brought on to the Virtual Console platform. And so, the company knows that there's a lot of passion for that franchise, but thinking about how to make it current, thinking about how to make it bigger than just the, you know, let me call it the relatively small group of fans that desperately want to see {Mother 3} or something next in the Earthbound series. That's what the company I'm sure has been thinking about and they just haven't figured out yet the solution to that, or at least they haven't been prepared to talk about it."
Det låter inte riktigt som om Nintendo vill återuppta serien. Hade du hoppats på en återkomst?
