The wait that has been put upon fans of this game appears to be nearing it's end. Itoi himself confirmed that today Mother 3's definite launch date in Japan will be April 20th. With the release date set, they no longer plan to really work on the game, which in other words means the game is complete, and just waiting to release. With a nice long wait to keep people salivating over it. The game is also a GBA game, which just sweetens the deal moreso, as you can play it on the DS as well.

I can't wait for a US release, myself. I just hope that this one doesn't have the pulsating battle background which gave me migraine after migraine, limiting my ability to play to about two hours a day, if even.

I know I'm lookin' forward to it. I just hope they actually release it domestically at some point, unlike what they did with the Mother 1 & 2 rerelease cart on GBA, despite the pleads of fans.

I've been waiting for an Earthbound sequel for ages, and the fact that it's on the GBA is intriguing, indicating that visually and stylistically it could very likely be very similar to Earthbound. This news is certainly promising, especially considering it's the first concrete release date for this game ever since they started working on the planned (and canned) N64 Mother 3 eight or nine years ago. Does this mean that there is still hope for Duke Nukem Forever?

Has there been any word of a US release date?

I'm surprised that this is actually getting off the ground. I won't really believe it until I can buy a copy. happy.gif

I'm hoping they bring this over... I wouldn't underestimate the amount of interest this series has in North America, despite never receiving the first Mother.
