It was going to be titled “C’mon Nintendo, Give Us Mother 3”, and it even hit a bunch of news sites when I first announced it.Īt one point I had a handful of fan posts from Usenet groups, AOL clubs, and the like with brief discussion about the EarthBound sequel, but I can’t remember where I saved them to. But then it eventually grew so big that I decided to turn it into another of my Legends of Localization books. It quickly grew so big that I was going to give it its own dedicated section on the site instead. I originally intended for this to be a simple article on my EarthBound Central site. There’s a lot to cover, so I’ve broken my write-up into five parts.
But as a fan who’s worked on EarthBound-related sites and projects for most of those 23 years, I thought I’d try to document those ups and downs for newer fans and everyone wondering what the whole MOTHER 3 hoopla is about. Trickles of information and rumors created a cycle of hope, hype, and disappointment that has repeated more times than I can count.
This change from a quiet hope to a thundering roar didn’t happen overnight.
