Itoi says still no plans for additional Mother games

November 22nd, 2009 Posted in General Nintendo, News, Written by Valay

This is from an interview which was originally posted on July 22, but the information is still relevant…

“I was happy to find out that was possible. But games demand many more lines of dialogue despite the fact that the main characters don’t talk, so I couldn’t keep making them. That’s why I felt deep down after making three of them, ‘Well, that was a neat experience.’…Yes, that’s right (no more plans for Earthbound games).” – Shigesato Itoi, Earthbound designer

Thanks to Robert for the news tip!

    *As I said in Earthbound central:

    Well, the MOTHER series has always been good as a trilogy anyway and it will always remain my number 1 favorite RPG series but I moved on a long time ago.

    About Itoi, Its been a while since I read anything from him.
    What does he do these days besides his copy writer job and his online variety newspaper/magazine?
    Does he still work on Nintendo? Or on video games in general?

    @Captain N

    Yeah, don’t hold your breath.
    Besides, Tomato’s translation is probably MUCH better than what Nintendo would come up with.

    Well there we have it. No surprise here.
    Expect the Smash Bros. series to be the only Nintendo games where we will officialy be able to play as MOTHER characters in the future now(unless Nintendo creates another crossover game outside of fighting).

    Still though, didn’t Itoi say in some interview that he would be fine with someone else in Nintendo making a MOTHER 4?
    If thats the case then I vote Miyamoto to do it.
