A collective of dedicated fans have released a stunning trailer for a fully-3D Mother 3 remake. Renamed Earthbound in the west, the Mother series’ beloved third GBA entry never made it out of Japan. Now, days after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mother 3’s producer has called for the 2006 game to come to the West,ꦦ fans have released their own re-imagining of the lost RPG classic.

Sporting a gorgeous, Claymation-esque art style, this lovingly crafted trailer tribute recalls the artstyle of the🉐 Grezzo developed Link’s Awakening remake. Bringing the cutesy and colourful world of Nintendo’s bizarre RPG into the third dimension, it’s no surprise that the video has amassed over 100,000 views – and gushing praise – in less than 24 hours. 

This gorgeously animated tribute was created by a YouTube channel that celebrates video game art named, . Speaking to about the painstaking recreation of key scenes using clay figures, illustrator Omni Jacala reveals that this trailer took a team of 22 over two years to create. Clay figures were fam💎ously used to promote the first two games in Japan, which led the team naturally to the Aardman-inspired Claymation approach.

The reveal is incredibly well-timed. Last week during a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nintendo Direct, Nintendo finally brought the first two games in the series to Nintendo Switch – known as Earthbound and Earthbound: Beginnings. Thanks to the huge amount of eyeballs directed to 𝔍these games, Earthbound is enjoying a renewed period of relevance, with the games that inspired indie hit Undertale thrust into the spotlight once again.

It's a fact buoyed by the game’s producer Shinichi Kameoka stating he would “also love to see Mother 3 released in the US and Europe.” Yet with Nintendo rarely acknowledging the cult classic, few fans are hold🅺ing out hope.

One of the few times Nintendo did publicly mention Mother 3 was during its meme-y Robot Chicken-produced E3 showing, resulting in former Nintendo of America president fire balling a games journalist to death – 💛naturally. Look Reggie, if you see this ar🍌ticle, we’re cool…right?
