Does the big N ever intend on doing another Earthbound game? The games were pretty cool. I was hoping there would be another one, what do you guys think?

Well, there was supposed to be one for n64 but it was cancelledduring development and the only thing I've heard about now is a thirdpart for GBA (that's why the first two were rereleased for GBA).

The series is originally called "Mother"Earthbound was the SNES game - the first one was for NESand has been rereleased together with the second part on gba (but I think only in Japan).

Mother 1 was never released in the us, only mother 2 which was released as earthbound. However there is a translation patch for mother 1 altho ive never tried it myself.

I only ever did play the one for the snes, but to be perfectly honest I thought that game lacked alot in graphics even though it's a old console. I thought they could have been a tad less rainbow like because it was WAY to colourfull for me. it was a kids game and despite the fact I own both super monkey balls I wish not play a kids rpg. I did like the story but if there will be another erthbound for the GC or DS I hope they add a little darkness to it, bring it into an action gamer's heart too in some ways y'now.

that is a really pathetic excuse not to play a good game, just wondering do u refuse to play an mario games, wind waker, kirby, etc coz the colours affect your gaming enjoyment

I subscribe to Nintendo Power, and nearly a year ago, they had info on Mother 1+2 for the GBA. But I don't see this game in the "Gaming Forecast" anymore 
. How come they cancelled the N64 project? And why was Mother never released in the US? It would've kicked donkey, too... EarthBound is the WIERDEST game I've ever played, but that's what made it awesome. I hope Nintendo gets crackin' at another Mother project.

it was canned because the team creating eb for n64 were very unfamiliar with 3d so the game was doomed to be a failure from the very beginning becuase of countless glitches and graphical errors. also ness was no longer the star of the show, i believe some middle aged guy was the main character (not a grownup ness). ape was also inplementing some completely new battle style too which was supposed to use the battle music as a major part of fighting. sorry guys but earthbound will probably only ever be heard of in the SSB series from now on.damn eb was a brill game...How come they cancelled the N64 project?

earthbound will definately return at some point. The GBA version of mther 1+2 sold quite well. mother 3 was in development for gba but the development team dissapeared and have been eerily silent on the subject. Iwata made it a point to mention earthbound in his credintials at GDC and there had to be a point to it because he has other more successful and popular games that he could've used. Signs seem to point to another one coming at some point in time.
