What are the odds Nintendo remembers this franchise this generation and remakes it like they did Super Mario RPG? they should really bring this back due to how innovative and unique it was.
>>
>>12612097
low, because they don't want to touch mother 3 because it would get them canceled
>>
>>12612097
not getting a remake as long as Itoi's alive
>they should really bring this back
it's available on their scam subscription service
>>
>>12612097
just wanna say, before someone eventually does, this franchise is not "dead" (implying it needs more games and should be resurrected from said "death"), it is "complete" (the series is over.) This may seem like common sense, but some people tend to lack that...
>>
>>12612198
Tpbp
>>
>>12612198
Yeah seriously. Things need to end, because if something goes on long enough it will eventually become complete shit, 100% of the time.
>>
>>12612116
just make Mother 4 then
>>
>>12612340
make Father series
>>
>>12612340
Toby Fox already did.
>>
>>12612348
even better
>>12612354
gross
>>
>>12612340
fucking called it
>>12612354
like hell Undertale is "MOTHER 4"
>>
>>12612116
>>12612340
>just make Earthbound 64 a reimagining of 3 more accurate to the original 64 version without the trannies
Fixed

Called what
>>12612532
sounds good
>>
>>12612097
If they do it will be a Morbius situation where they listen to a loud minority who say they want it, while the wider audience doesn't give a shit and sale would be abysmal.
>>
>>12612097
there is no demand for this. the only people who want this are the people who pretend to like these games but dont actually play them
>>
>>12612674
>Called what
>>12612198
I talked about this shit earlier. MOTHER is complete. We don't need a MOTHER 4, really, and if you must MUST have one, just do a fangame
>>
>>12612714
Called what
>>
>>12612340
Remember the mother 4 fan game that was in development for like 10 years then they changed the name and no one ever mentioned it again?
>>
>>12612097
what's wrong with just playing it?

why do faggots always want shit remade?
>>
>>12612749
do you not- Did I just fall for bait. fuck.
>>
>>12612097
a remake would 100% ruin the unique atmosphere.
>>
>>12613330
What do you think you called
>>
>>12612097

>Nintendo could lose a billion every year for the next 100 years and still be worth over a billion dollars.
>Won't remake Earthbound

The math ain't mathing.
>>
>>12612097
I just want the 64 version as a "remake" of 3 that could be justified as existing for an international release. Anything else resembling a modern type remake to any of the games, would just be terrible and you all know it. They would have to do it entirely in a style resembling the clay models replacing the sprites in battle and out(which would be neat), but i absolutely do not trust any dev to do it justice unless Itoi was directly involved and even then he may have gone senile already and may not even respect his own past work.

Mother 4 should exist as a final game that wraps up all the loose ends and does what 2 was going to be, traveling to different planets, and be based around humans finally coming to peace with the aliens whom now fear them after what their evil minds did to Giygas, and confronting/negotiating with the Apple of Enlightenment, who seems to be the true prophetic leader/super computer of the aliens, as well as the opportunity to bring some kind of closure to Giygas and his mommy issues, which would be a rather symbolic way to wrap up many of the themes of the series.

Alternatively, i am not at all opposed to just self contained stories set in the world of Mother, past, present and future. I also rather like Itoi's old idea of a game where you play as a detective that solves mysteries in a town, before moving to the next. That's something that could fit well in the setting.

Mother could absolutely be the "Dragon Quest" of Nintendo, without it needing to be the ever continuing adventures of Ness.

Fan games suck.
>>
One of my favorite hidden gems for the SNES. I don't see them remaking it though. It is what is it is, I just can't imagine it with modern graphics or action oriented game play.
>>
I get that the series is over but how come Itoi never made anything else?
I'm sure he could have come up with a new ip
>>
>>12613531
He had two fishing games, but im not sure how much was his input or just attaching his name and face to them.

He had an idea for a detective game that he mentioned in an interview and maybe im hallucinating this, but i could have swore at one point he mentioned a block pushing puzzle game that involved Mr. Saturn. Mother 2 also originally involved traveling to different planets, so i could see that as having spun off into its own thing. I wonder if the Magical Vacation games took any inspiration from that.
>>
>>12613541
The detective game was originally an idea for MOTHER 3. and there was a puzzle game idea involving Mr. Saturn, but I don't remember much besides that
