Mother 3 conspiracies
http://www.ds-x2.com/index.php?id=4201


On Marvelous' website, the developer has opened up a minisite showing a teaser for their latest Nintendo DS project. If we look at the teaser, it shows us a countdown (probably until revealing the full game) and a professor. In the meantime, someone from the Gaming Age forums has decompiled the flash-movie to search for clues.

The decompiling came up with two clues. The mention of a 'rock' and a small animation in which the doctor is supposed to turn around.

(Uploaded to ImageShack):


Now if we look close, fans of the Mother-series might see some close resemblance with Dr. Andonuts from that series.

The second clue found by the decompiler, the mention of the 'rock', fits into the Mother-conspiracy theory as well. The original Mother-series contained multiple talking (you guessed it)... rocks.

As far as we know, Marvelous has never participated in any of the previous Mother games. And although it may seem farfetched, fact is Marvelous is working on yet another game for the Nintendo DS.

Here's the page with the Flash countdown.

strrrrrreeeetch but it'd hit the hardcore scene bigtime if it were true. What's funny is, we all know that another earthbound game would be HUGE for attracting the old school and hardcore gamers... so why not just effing make the game. Why they don't exploit a great brand/"series" makes no sense. Give the gaming community what it wants.

Please no. If Marvelous worked on Mother 3 they could manage to make it suck. They have that kind of talent.

It'd be cool to hear any info at all about the game. And Nintendo won't let it suck.... Frown

Ok, we all know Mother 3 is in the works, and last we heard it was coming for the GBA. Frankly, that was what, 2 years ago? Even the most CRAZY GBA games do NOT take that long to make. SO what the hell is going on? No word at the past 2 E3's? Nintendo KNOWS we want this game, so what are they waiting for? Wheres the details? Ill tell you where... their sitting in NDS carts. This game, that you think Marvelous might be making, is NOT Mother 3. Nintendo is making Mother 3, and it will be their BIG SPLASH of 2006. Im almost sure. Itoi is going to make his comeback with this game, and I myself cannot fucking wait! Im acutally currently playing though Earthbound, and I want more. More more more. Give me more Nintendo!

As much as I'd want it to, it will probably come to the rest of the world as much as Tales of Phantasia will.

Probably before Mother 3? Takes alot to localize those, lots of text.

That's just a little bit farfetched. Sorry, but i'm just not buying it. Mother/Earthbound is a HAL franchise. Why would they give one of their greatest creations to Marvelous? It just doesn't add up.

Earthbound 3 is entirely possible. After all, it was originally designed for the N64 and actually got quite far into development before it was canned. The Director (or producer?) said that there was just too many bugs and they were already way off target. However, it wouldn't be hard to get rid of the bugs (with the more advanced hardware of today), polish it up and present it as a brand new RPG for the DS.

Bad excuse, there exists an English script for both games.

Man, would Mother 3 on Revolution be a dream come true. With all the quirky battles in the past Mother games, the controller could be really put to use, like a bat: Swing the controller like a bat, or a guitar. ROCK THAT MOTHER OUT AND BAM!


This is only a dream, my friends. If it ever does come to life, then I would die a happy man.

Well that site Marvelous set up is for a game called Contact which they are publishing. I'm sure someone will find pics of the scans sometime soon.

Scans are on the frontpage. The game (Contact) looks kind of interesting. Definetely not Mother 3.
