Reggie - Earthbound Wii U VC success hasn't changed franchise thinking, nothing to say about Mother 3 localization
Coming from an IGN interview where Reggie Fils-Aime was asked if the success of Earthbound on the Wii U VC has brought about new thinking concerning the franchise.
“To answer your specific question, I would have to say no. We knew the response to EarthBound was going to be strong. Believe me, I’ve met those fans. The first question out of their mouth is, ‘Reggie, when is EarthBound coming? Mother 3!’ I’ve met, I think, all of them. So we’re always looking at our rich history to identify those opportunities of games we could bring back and have consumers experience.
“For me, it was Chrono Trigger. That was a key game in my early video-game-playing days, and I love when we made that game available. So we’re constantly looking at opportunities to bring back some of our great legacy content, reintroduce that to consumers, and have them enjoy it the way many of us did years and years ago. I have nothing to announce regarding Mother 3 at this time.“
