EarthBound fans outside Japan still eagerly wait the announcement of this elusive game. There have been some unofficial localization efforts, which Nintendo of America allegedly knew about but never intervened with. While Mother 3 released in 2006 in Japan on Game Boy Advance, there was never an official release in any other country. It’s not a fangame (nor will it ever be, says the team), but simply a loving tribute to the game. The official website for the fan tribute also includes some behind-the-scenes footage and an FAQ. A team of 22 creatives worked together to animate the mock trailer, which depicts what the team sees as a modern remake of the game. The project is describe as a “love letter” to Mother 3, which started out as an April Fool’s joke. This fan-made video comes right on the heels of Nintendo announcing that Mother and Mother 2 (known as EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound outside of Japan) would be available via the Nintendo Switch Online library on Feb. But the creators behind YouTube channel Curiomatic have dared to imagined how a modernized Mother 3 trailer would look. After many, many years, an international release of Mother 3 is still but a distant dream.
