Quote:Mother 1 + 2 on GBA, Mother 3 on GC!
We've been following the story of Earthbound on the Game Boy Advance for a long time, and it looks like our hunch was right. Word has leaked out of Nintendo that two new Mother games are in the works, one for the GBA and the other for the GameCube.
Mother 1 + 2 is a remake of the original Famicom Mother game, plus the Super Nintendo installment (called Earthbound in North America). It will have completely rehauled graphics, and should release around the same time as the Game Boy Player.
Mother 3 was originally in development for the Nintendo 64, but was cancelled because of lengthy development and poor results. The game is being remade for the GameCube, and should hit Japanese retailers this August!
Finally, there's a report that Enix is working on a Dragon Quest V remake. No console has been specified, but word has it that the game will be a straight port; GBA comes immediately to mind.
This information all comes courtesy of Japanese website QUITER, and although it HASN'T BEEN COFIRMED, we believe you could be hearing something from Nintendo within the next month or so.
