More EarthBound-Lookalike Screens

That looks quite awesome. Maybe Nintendo could try a new MOTHER game? Still, it may not have the charm Itoi originally added to the series.

It looks incredibly o_o
I really hope this gets and english release. Or heck , I hope this makes Itoi realize another video game might be a good idea! ^^

Yeah, I agree.

Phones? I used his wall staple art as my spray in TF2 for a while.

I prefer the bright colors/simplicity used in the Mother games. The ROID website is more similar (palette and style wise)

I also remember seeing a screenshot of what was being touted as a Professor Layton RPG which had the Mother graphics style, also coming out on ROID.

If this comes out for the US, im gonna get it.

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m kind of pissed that this has nothing to do with EarthBound at all, and yet they use the same kind of graphics.

I WANT THIS SO BAD!!!! Also, @J: I was gonna make a game like that! It was going to be like Proffesser Layton, except in Mother 3 style, and it wouldn’t actually be Proffesser Layton. Also, many of the puzzles/mysteries would be text solved, many as in 1/4. Oh well. I really hope Roid gets a North American release, otherwise we’re gonna need some emulators and Mato’s help.

Well if I’m not terribly mistaken, I thought the original MOTHER 2 sprite style was the design of a particular designer-person… so isn’t it possible that Level 5 hired that same guy? I could be terribly wrong but I thought I remember hearing such (that the sprites were designed by mainly one guy).

Can you translate what is written? I’m super curious.

i would prefer the MOTHER series to stay the way it is. i feel that if it were updated it wouldn’t have the same feeling as the other games did :l

Looks more like the DS Pokemon games than the Mother franchise, tbh.

I wouldn’t care what style they used for another Mother game. Whatever the director chooses to do, I’m sure he will execute well.

I can’t read Japanese, but I do see the letters “DS” in the scan. Does it say that there is a DS game, and if so are these screens from the DS game? Judging by the aspect ratio, I’d say these screens are probably from the cell phone game.

Hey Nintendo if you just happen to be reading this you wanna know a great way to make money well you know this game will sell well so why not make a Mother compilation, remake, or just a new Mother game to rival it.

I really want to play this, I love Level 5.

@Zaxtur: Yes, there is a DS “The Another World”. These screens are just from the ROID game, for cellphones. The DS “The Another World” has a different look graphics wise.

Yes Chrissi, I do believe the sprite style was done by a particular designer guy. Not so coincidentally Xi, I think he went on to help with the Pokemon games.

The design reminds me more of MOTHER 3 than Earthbound.

Well, now its starting to look to detailed to be Earthbound style (always considered simplicity a bit part of EB/MOTHER) Mostre likely to be related to Ghibli style to.
I hope the DS version of this game comes to the states…

I for one am getting pretty excited for this game. Studio Ghibli, Level 5, and Mother-esque graphics! According to Wikipedia it’s already confirmed for a UK release so at least it can be imported from there in English if there’s no US release. It is Wikipedia though so there’s a pretty good chance that info is incorrect.

i not that excited..the interiors look victorian or something.. not modern

make more modern rpg, WORLD!

To Blood Donor: technically speaking, Victorian style is still more modern than the typical Medieval-esque theme the vast majority of RPGs tend to employ. Even though the ’80s and ’90s theme is rather modern, it isn’t recent anymore (not like that actually matters). And Mother 3 only appears semi-modern, mostly due to Porky’s influence. I’d say there’s as much modern-ness in this game visually as there was in most of the M/EB series.

I’m basically saying that this graphical “Mother Updated” style is awesome and I’m looking forward to this game, EB or not.

I’m so happy to hear about this game!

It seems more like a spirtual successor to Earthbound than a sequel. Which we will -never- have, ever, at all, in all of existence….

But I’m OK with a spiritual successor.

If not spiritual, at least graphical…

OH wait…this is only the cellphone version? I’m kind of disappointed now. I hope it somehow gets ported or ripped so I can download it.

Yo isent the same game goin to the D.S but in 3d graphics? The DS one looks nothin like this version so i dont think it has anything to do with Mother…

they made a 3d eng. version

on ps3….
