Courtesy RPGamer...
The title formerly known as Earthbound64 was feared dead as details ceased to emerge and the Nintendo64 died off. However, good news is here for fans of the series. Mother 3, the official title of the game, is approximately 60% complete, says the game's writer, Shigesato Itoi. It is not known if this means the writing or the programming of the game, but as the speculated release is late 2005, it can be assumed that it is the writing. RPGamer news As a fan of the series, this makes me extremely happy. I had a Nintendo64, and had the game come out when I owned it, I would've been doing flips. Now that it's back, I might have to buy a Gamecube if that's the platform.

Amazing. Earthbound is a unique game and a lot of fun. I had a feeling Mother 3 was going to eventually be released, especially now that Mother and Earthbound (Mother 2) are being rereleased on the GBA.

Excellent!
Can't wait to find out more. Last I heard, when it was still slated for release on the N64, was that the lead character was some sort of gunslingin' cowboy. Very different from the usual adolescent boy with a red cap. Good to know they haven't given up. -------------------- Words of Wisdom: If something can go wrong, it will.

Now the question (that everyone is thinking) is... will the battles continue to look like one bad drug trip?

Ooh, this is exciting.
 I really liked Earthbound.I didn't realize that there was a game in the series before what was released as Earthbound here. What platform was it for? Edit I followed those links and came up with this webpage. It's in Japanese, but there are pictures of Mr. Saturn.

I like this, and will probably buy it, but personally I would be more excited if they ported the 64 version to the DS. Just a thought. This one still looks awesome though.
