Mother 3 Actually Happening?
Mother creator Shigesato Itoi has revealed on his official news site that his much beloved RPG series is far from dead, contrary to some fan speculation. In fact, its third title, Mother 3, is expected to see a release on the Game Boy Advance this coming spring!This news provides quite a surprise given how long Mother 3 has been in the making, as well as how long it’s seemingly been cancelled [12 years]. Fans no doubt remember the title as the series’ formerly intended 3D debut, originally announced for the Nintendo 64 - a few years prior to the console’s launch - as a follow-up to the largely successful Mother 2 (known as EarthBound in North America).

UPDATE: It seems RPGamer has also reported on this yesterday, and they have provided a link to a teaser website Nintendo has set up. As mentioned by Itoi, it gives us a Spring ballpark release and a price quote of 4,800 yen.
…after all those rumours and cancelled plans (after all, the N64 version was scrapped pretty late in development) I still can’t believe it’s actually happening!
