October 16th, 2019 | EarthBound, Interviews, Itoi, MOTHER 1, MOTHER 2, MOTHER 3, 日本語
Arino Kacho played MOTHER 2 on a recent string of Game Center CX episodes. Shigesato Itoi visited him while he was playing on day 2 and they had a little interview session.
Some topics of interest include:
- Itoi naming Ness silly things like “Peepee” and “Panties” when he plays the game
- How the two-hour “dad call” influenced a similar mechanic in future Nintendo games
- Itoi’s dedication of being heavily involved in MOTHER‘s development, despite not being a game dev
- How MOTHER‘s world map was designed by hand with pieces of paper on the floor of an apartment
- Itoi’s friendship with Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto
- MOTHER 3‘s transition from a 3D game to a 2D game and the issues that arose
- Itoi’s answer to the question: “What are games to you, personally?”
It’s a great interview, so give it a read. 🙂

Kacho “And Mr. Saturn is art. (Laughs) If anyone else were to write a Mother game someday, would you want them to include Mr. Saturn?”
Itoi “Hmm, I think I would, yeah.”
Do they know about the Mother 4 fan game? It’s cool that Itoi is willing to share one of his most iconic characters!

How is no one talking about how he called his most recognised creation “Panties”

Hey, we all have a silly side to us.

It’s a bit disappointing that he doesn’t want to show off more of EB 64, but it is what it is. At least the spirit of the game lives on in the final product.

If we collect the development costs for the English version of “Mother3” through crowdfunding, will the project start to move?

If we got the development money together, it’d start thirteen years ago.
Happy belated thirteenth birthday, M3 Fan Translation!

Wow, so if that someone had not given Itoi a copy of Dragon Quest, maybe Mother would never exist. I wonder who is that person.

Wouldn’t doubt it… over 4 months since the last article, no one can get into the forums still, and Mato or anyone else hasn’t really said anything on the matter. I hate to say it… but this site has been stuck on life support for a while now.

I hope that if there are things to post about that this site will continue getting updated indefinitely…. I still check back here often and will continue to do so!

Why are the forums are still down?
The day I randomly decide to check EB Central, there’s a new article posted!
I enjoyed this interview.
