This was on earthbound central a while ago. Hopefully it's true.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

Wouldn't an Earthbound triology make more sense as a 3DS title?

 

[noal]

If I remember correctly it has been up for over a week. I saw it but just assumed that everybody goes through all the pages of Wii U games just like me; like a hobby of sorts.

Probably a mistake though.

 

[SMT]

Sounds just like Nintendo to revive an old franchise.

 

[Out of Working Order]

This will be nothing. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[Persona86]

This must be some sort of evil joke?

 

[Spiffy_1st]

Hopes and expectations set to maximum.

 

[Persona86]

This will be nothing. Don't get your hopes up.

Even better, Iwata or Miyamoto during the E3 Nintendo Direct:

"Every game in the Mother/Earthbound series on 1 retail disc
Bonus soundtrack CD included
A dozen scratch-n-sniff stickers included
In-game full color 180 page strategy guide, one for each game
$29.99 retail, exchange rate adjusted for Europe
10 languages, including English and Japanese, available for each game

Oh, and it'll be available *dramatic pause*... right now. On store shelves this very moment."

Imagine the bombs.

cant wait to scratch and sniff this guy

that indeed would be beautiful. too bad nintendo is not atlus.

 

[The_Intruder]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

 

[AColdDay]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

OH GOD.

Nintendo, if you do this, I'm back in. DO YOU HEAR ME?!

 

[brainpann]

Hmm, that looks like a 3DS price. I wouldnt be surprised if it were a 3d remake compilation with bonus materials for the 3DS.


The battles in the Mother/Earthbound series would be fantastic and trippy in 3D.

 

[steveovig]

Wouldn't an Earthbound triology make more sense as a 3DS title?

Don't say that. I want this thing on my big TV not on some tiny screen.

 

[Instro]

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahhhhahahahahhhhhhhhhhAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ha

 

[hal9001]

Amazon please don't toy with our emotions like that.

 

[Zoramon089]

Guys, guys, okay, here me out
Retro
Working on a game that everyone wants

 

[Torraz]

Ps 4 + wiiu rather than the new xbox is sounding more and more likely.

 

[giapel]

Their abominable Donkey Kong games are bad enough and I have little love for DK. Retro Earthbound without the involvement of Itoi? What a nightmare.

While I agree there's no Earthbound without Itoi, abominable? Really?

 

[Kouriozan]

Hum... Do you remember this?

I remember that image but never thought of Giygas.
Trying to not hype too much...

 

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

It's (appropriately) like talking to a child.

Got it.

 

[MYE]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[beta_fuse]

The fact that they are releasing Earthbound for the Virtual Console has me believing that if this is legit, it will not be a compilation. Hopefully it is a remake of some kind or a brand new game. Fingers crossed for any of the above!

 

[steveovig]

Cliffy B is finally developing an Earthbound game! It has to be this.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Well, Europe never got the game before so maybe they'll release it differently over there, or have other options for purchase.

 

[dark_inferno]

What if Platinum Games is making earthbound WiiU

"Nanomachines." "Lukas you are a killing Machine." "Dont say you use your PK Fire for justice."

Srsly... even trough it sounds funny. I want it.

 

[cacildo]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

Where did this came from? When? There´s words in this, can somebody read this words for me?

 

[JohnTinker]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

 

[Davey Cakes]

I thought that image was a teaser for Xenoblade. Can't read Japanese so I have no idea.

 

[73V3N]

So the Monolith Soft 3DS game is Mother 4.

Cool.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

With Nintendo's recent trend of handicraft style graphics (Kirby's Epic Yarn, Nintendoland, Yoshi's Island Wii U), wouldn't something similar be really cool for an Earthbound Wii U game? Maybe something that resembles the original clay/plastic concept figurines (I always wanted to have those as a kid) in a toyish/claymation kind of world. Or maybe something in the style of the pencil concept art of Earthbound.
Not like this is real or anything...

#dead

becausE it has too be true!

 

[Nekofrog]

A Wii U Mother sequel would go a long way to repair my faith in Nintendo.

Wii Sports Online would be another.

 

[Rakzo]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

I need to know when they put that image!

 

[Persona86]

I need to know when they put that image!

Looks like December 2010.

Artwork at the top of the page says "New Project Starts, Seeking Developers."

Available positions include programmer, 2D designer, planner, effect designer, 3DCG designer and motion designer.

Monolith Soft is the developer of such games as Xenoblade (Wii), Baten Kaitos (GameCube), Super Robot Taisen OG Saga (DS), Dragon Ball Kai (DS) and Disaster Day of Crisis (Wii). The studio is a subsidiary of Nintendo, but does continue to work with other publishers like Namco Bandai.

You know, before, I would have made fun of you for suggesting that.

I stopped to think, and I now have to agree, that would be pretty fun.

 

[Instro]

I need to know when they put that image!

It was about 2 years ago iirc. It was used as part of their hiring efforts.

 

[Neiteio]

?????????????
This has to be coincidence, right? right?
This and F-zero U, xenobade 2 ... I don't care if wiiU doesn't get EA games. Bought

Eh? What's this about an F-Zero U?

 

[Ghostofst4rm4n]

Lost it after the scratch-n-sniff stickers... I'd kill to get a Master Belch one now though...

Turned out to be this:

[Neiteio]

A Mother collection with Zero and translated Mother 3 would be so HYPE I could hardly contain myself. Make it a limited run and you'll sell 'em all, Ninty.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Hum... Do you remember this?

It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

Wow I forgot about that! #believe

 

[EMT0]

My money.....in the Big N's bank account. My emotions...toyed with. Gah.

 

[Joqu]

Guys that listing is totally bullshit made up by Amazon. Seriously.

Spoiler

Getting my hopes up because of you fools ;_;

 

[Birathen]

What if Earthbound Wii U is Shenmue III?

Earthbound x Shenmue

 

[Various Artists]

Well we should know in 18 days. This E3 is going to be nuts.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

If this is a retail Earthbound and Earthbound 2 (Mother 3) collection translated in PAL5 for europe, im all for it.

 

[Tadale]

Willing to be it's a download code, and the price is just a default number.

EDIT: I wouldn't want a new Mother game without Itoi.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Amazon UK is dropping bombs.....bombs I hope that are real.

 

[Peagles]

Pre-ordered, don't care if it's not real.
