A lot of the visual gags in the original are insanely well done for a game made with such hardware limitations. Guess its true that limitations sometimes bring out true creativity.
My friend was a part of the development team for Crypt of the Necromancer. They had this idea to create a Zelda themed one for fun and realized they were on to something and it would sell. They made a demo and sent it to Nintendo to get their thoughts and blessings to license out the IP. This game was actually created and is out titled Cadence of Hyrule . Please do the same thing with this! Get the word out.
Problems lie with the (brilliant) fan translation, I think. Unless they want to localize it from the ground up the Nintendo suits won't like it one bit.
@@JohnDoe-id5ih but mother 1 & 2 are already on the switch so a mother 3 remake would be the best option because i dont think nintendo will release free GBA games on the switch
Honestly a remake like this would be the best way to get mother 3 outside of japan, if the only things stopping them are things like the magypsies. It wouldn't feel like the same game if they did change that, obviously, but if they did want to release it outside of japan and stuff like that was the only issue, a remake would be an amazing way to bring it over. (Though something tells me they don't want to change anything about the game, so if mother 3 is ever going to come to anywhere outside japan, it'll be a while.)
Nintendo doesn’t even realize how much potential the Mother series has. I think it would be super popular with newer gamers today. This just shows it’s potential. Nicely done!
@@_vair_ The problem remains the same, sadly. I would love to see a remake like the one showed in this video, but the creator of the series is a special guy. And i dont think he would allow nintendo to do so, wich is sad.
@@Genojo Dude never said he was against any future installments, just that he wouldn't be involved as he lost the drive to make them himself. Also...did you just call him retarded?
This could be genuinely pitched to Nintendo. With the amount of people cheering this fantastic tribute on I think it would be possible. The Crypt of the Necrodancer + Zelda crossover was a dream come true, so something as ambitious as this would absolutely light a fire under their asses. Go get 'em.
@@BlastKetchup the director of Mother 3 has recently expressed interest in a localization from Nintendo, so I don’t think he would be involved in any rerelease but I’m sure he would appreciate it
@@BlastKetchup Itoi is very happy with all the fan creations surrounding the mother series. If you look on his twitter you can see him reposting mother stuff almost every day, including the tweet teasing the original tribute video!

This is the best 2D to 3D translation I’ve ever seen. Hands down. Legit better than any official series or game that’s ever done it. You absolutely NAILED the feel of the original and it still looks amazing and modern. Amazing modelling , textures , and animation
Your Mother 3 videos has really gotten me into the Earthbound series, I started playing the first game 3 days ago and I love it so far :) Keep up the amazing work!
I would actually recommend starting with the 2nd game first (Earthbound) and and playing the 1st as a prequel, since most people don't like mother 1 that much but if you love it then totally do that!
You should save yourself a lot of trouble and start with earthbound or mother 3. Mother 1 is a good game, but it has some of the worst, most unfair grinding and difficulty spikes I’ve ever seen in an RPG
This is AMAZINGLY well-crafted. The animations, the world, the enemy encounters. These are incredibly well realized!! You guys really captured the essence of Mother series in this. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, this style even as a new IP and spiritual successor would be mind-blowing and something that I'd absolutely want to play!
These people understood the assignment. Ever since Link's Awakening's remake on Switch, I had imagined a remake of the entire MOTHER trilogy using a claymation-style aesthetic as its base. Looks like I wasn't the only one ♥
Y’know, the Link’s Awakening remake really reminded me of Mother/EarthBound. Specifically, LA’s toy-like ascetics reminded me of the Mother/EarthBound art using clay figures. This also really reminds me of that. Excellent, faithful work!
Watching this side by side shows how careful the team behind this project was to keep fidelity and respect to the original game. It is mesmerizing to watch, and makes me want a MOTHER 3 remake more than ever now.
You're assuming Nintendo doesn't completely have their head up their ass like they do these days. Make something new, or even reboot something? Nah, just rerelease a 20 something year old game and charge full price for it.
for Nintendo to be interested in doing the remake of mother 3 they should not release a demo on PC, since for that reason Nintendo blocks fangames, the most advisable thing would be to show the project to Nintendo directly, the easiest thing would be in Nintendo of America. ..I think
I like cannot believe this exists. This is so magical. Thank you all so much. Your Smashified videos were very inspiring to me getting into art professionally, and your consistently high quality work never fails to disappoint!
Part of me feels like they are lying about this not being a game. Imagine they completely finish this, and drop it on the internet with no announcement to avoid a cease and desist from finishing the development.
This video just shows the amount of care and love put in to this fan trailer. Stuff like the enemy attacks in battles being fully animated, Lucas hugging Boney, and the more cinematic camera angles it all shows the amount of effort put in to this recreation.
Dang… this is GOURGEOUS. The art style is perfect, and you even added little animations which perfectly fit the style of the original game, such as the tree falling as an attack.
Has it though? While very impressive none of it is actually in a playable state. Its simply a proof of concept fan animation and not an actual fangame, which would've taken the team far more time and effort to develop.
I never comment on RUclips videos, because I'm not a crazy person, but I had to here. This is such a stellar example of how to improve upon an older title visually, while absolutely nailing the vibe and artistic integrity of the original. So many people miss the mark, whether it be an official remaster/remake doing almost nothing or completely smearing the vision of the original, or an overproduced fan video that looks like they just found out what Global Illumination and bloom are. But this is a god damned work of art. You killed it. Wish there were more eyes like yours on remaster/remake projects, hope you guys find success whatever you go on to do.
the only point in which i would say i actually like the original game more is on the sunflower fields part, most shadows seem to have been removed (probably for authenticity) and it kind of lacks that magical feeling i think it deserves, i think the clouds should have been made fuzzier (i don't know if that's actually the way to say it) like the original game and what i thought of was a lighting similar to the one seen in the skies of the botw sequel trailer, though that minor problem of course doesn't remove how amazing this project is and i'd say most of the other parts shown are actually a 10/10, my favorite moment was definitely the Claus drago play-fighting, the lighting is just amazing, the textures really give it that clay feel and the music (chords i think?) in that exact moment really make it feel beautiful.
I love that it kinda comes off like a claymation. Not sure if I've every personally seen that done in a game. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'd love to know if any other games have adopted a similar style.
kirby and the rainbow curze goes for claymation right down to having a lower framerate to simulate stop-motion but that's the only other game i can think of with a similar aesthetic 😔
for ages i've wanted a wind waker styled mother 3 after seeing this certain image set showing it off...and now it's been topped with this absolutely beautiful interpretation of mother 3's world, in claymation style! god i want either of these to exist as a playable game.
Your added elements and items blend together so beautifully that I thought you were recreating the original screen until I saw the comparison video. If a remake is not possible, I'd love to see a movie like this!
oh, my, god this is in absolute the best remake trailer tribute I have see, this work is simply A M A Z I N G i never played mother series but i wish I can play it now
This is amazing work, although I haven’t played a Mother game, the style and look of the one you did looks so interesting and beautiful, fantastic job. I wish it was real 😢.
It appears that the art style for this tribute, alongside obviously looking a lot like the original, also takes inspiration from Claymation, fitting with Mother 1 and 2 having a clay-sculpted style in their renders. I like that! It was a little odd how they never made clay-sculpted artworks for Mother 3's characters.
Just noticed that, in the tribute, the light through the window is shining the closest to Lucas. Which is very endearing and accurate for his character development- *sees Hinawa being closer to the door and Claus between them* *-oh. **_Oh._*
I have no knowledge of the orginal games, but this phenomenally captures the spirit of the GBA footage, and got me so hyped to explore this weird and wonderful world in your gorgeous reimagining.
I'm amazed this doesn't have more views. This is remarkable. You guys are amazing. This is on par with the Switch's port for Link's Awakening. I wish this was real.
As an outsider to the Earthbound/Mother series (having never played any), even I got goosebumps watching this. I've been interested in playing this series for a while and this has just increased that interest!! Amazing work!!
I really like the claymation-ish look of this tribute, it fits the nature of Mother’s art style so perfectly
Reminds me of the link's awakening remake on the switch
@@Tonatact That is true, perhaps this is why it feels like this could be an official product and no one would bat an eye
@@Tonatact I was reminded of the 3DS Mario and Luigi games, though that might just be because I have no experience with the Link's Awakening remake.
@@devonm042690 I could understand how you saw that
