Mother 3 – Now With Release Date!
The following is quoted from Shigesato Itoi’s web site and translated by NattyBumppo (translation source: Starmen.net):
Mother 3’s release date has been set. It will be April 20th, 2006 (Thursday). At least it’s spring. It’ll go on sale before the start of Golden Week. We’ll be doing an official announcement pretty soon, but this is the “final” date. Once the release date is set, there are no more additions of new specs or anything like that. We’ll no longer be able to fiddle around with anything in the game, unless it’s something especially important. It makes me a little sad, but I can’t be selfish. Since it’s GameBoy Advance software, that naturally means that you’ll also be able to play it on the Nintendo DS that everyone’s so crazy about these days.
This means that after 11 long years, not only do we have a solid platform announcement, but an actual date! It’s unknown still how much this game will resemble Mother, Mother II or even the original Mother III demo that was planned for the N64 Disk Drive…but let’s hope that the large amount of fan support that’s been garnered will help make the game a success!
No North American release dates are in the works yet.
