Yeah.. not sure how this equates to increased hope. If I ask for something, and a laugh is the response, I don't get my hopes up.

Not sure if this means something long term, but, eh, at least Iwata himself acknowledes the Western MOTHER fans.

This is something I would really want! Sounds awesome, but the laugh makes it really unconvincing. I'd LOVE to see this series come to the west though. :)

So Iwata laughs in the face of western EarthBound/Mother fans and that's supposed to be a good thing?

I hope a compilation of the 3 games on the 3DS. I do hope that Mother gets a remake to a more Earthbound/Mother 3

He acknowledged that there is a huge fanbase here in the west. Based on just that, I can bet that we will one day see something.

Oh... my... god... The tile is SO misleading.
I don't see any hope increased.

@LegendofSantiago

Yeah, they could also put Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 from GBA on the Virtual Console.


@chris_the_wing

There's an article somewhere about why this was an issue and yeah, I think it has to do with one song needing to be rewritten. One of them can easily be replaced with a different theme, but the other one needs to straight up change.

@YoshiRider123

Because it makes too much sense to ask if a recent, more likely game could come out. Instead, let's ask about a series that hasn't had a game in YEARS and was on GBA and vintage platforms.

If Iwata delivers, then he needs to shut up with his laughs and take my money!!!

Still, I am not putting my hope into this...

No, he clearly sidestepped the questions and laughed them off.
This just confirms that he regrets bringing it up.

Well, Iwata did work on EarthBound during his HAL tenure so of course he hasn't forgotten it.

Having never played any of the games in the series I would love to see them remade for 3DS and/ or Wii U. I'm sure they would do fairly well if they sold them as a trilogy.

Why does everyone take [Laughs] as a negative? Don't the laughs always correspond to positive notes in Iwata asks? >.>
