Will Mother 3 finally make it to the Switch? All signs are looking good… just don't pester Reggie. The company has also released a YouTube video announcing the news as well as created a website for the project. This year, they are continuing down the same RPG path, making and reproducing clever EarthBound ‘souvenirs.

The book, from Mother series creator Shigesato Itoi’s company, is set to release near the end of the year, but fans will need to wait a bit longer for an official release date announcement. Last year, this offshoot of Itoi’s Hobonichi lifestyle brand started making various MOTHER and EarthBound tie-in products. Hobonichi has announced a fascinating new book on the way, compiling the text from all three Mother entries for fans to enjoy. In an even more telling move, Hobonichi is putting out a search for manga artists who are fans of Mother and specifying that they " don't ask why." The company also says fans can expect "more news." Interesting. Shigesato Itoi ’s HOBONICHI MOTHER PROJECT is back at it again. It's not guaranteed, but it is notable that the company would go to lengths such as producing an entire translation of the script and marketing it to English speaking audiences without monetizing the actual game the book is based on and, ostensibly, meant to honor and promote. According to an interview with Famitsu, and despite the fact that series creator Shigesato Itoi has said he's not interested in producing more games in the series, his company Hobonichi Shinbun has now announced the "Hobonichi Mother Project." The project is said to include "various content and goods" from Mother 1-3, including a Mother book featuring the full scripts for the games in "all languages." This would mark the first official translation of the game's script.
