Is Reggie Hinting at Mother 3?

Ever since Nintendo released Mother as EarthBound Beginnings, I expected them to finally translate Mother 3. I even predicted it for E3 2016.

So far, my prediction hasn’t come true, but I haven’t given up yet… and especially not now.

After the Nintendo Switch presentation, Reggie Fils-Aime spoke to both IGN and GameSpot about Mother 3 and Metroid.

He told IGN that localizing Mother 3 has “a different set of complexities” because “it really isn’t a Nintendo-owned franchise,” although they are definitely committed to Metroid.

He told GameSpot that he knows fans are interested in Mother 3 and a new Metroid game, and said, “I have nothing to announce–here.”

And to both IGN and GameSpot, he said they should talk to him a year from now.

Of the two, Metroid is the most likely hope to be fulfilled, but it’s interesting that his comments included Mother 3 as well. Is Reggie hinting that we’ll see a new Metroid game, a translated Mother 3, or both before the end of the year?

I still believe they wouldn’t have released EarthBound Beginnings if they didn’t plan to eventually release Mother 3 as well. For now, however, all we can do is wait.
