Reggie Fils-Aimé, former president of Nintendo of America, has recently touched on the possibility of more Earthbound or a Mother 3 localisation, but unfortunately only to say fans shouldn’t expect anything any time soon.
The original Mother came out for the Famicom in 1989, and later released in the west as Earthbound Beginnings.
However, when asked if he’d like to see more Earthbound Fils-Aimé pretty matter-of-factly said “Don’t hold your breath.”
The followup, Mother 2, better known as Earthbound, came out on the SNES in 1995 in North America, later available digitally in Europe.
