It's possible that Nintendo might be saving Mother 3 for a Game Boy Classic so that it could be used to promote the console in the same way that Star Fox 2 was used for the Super NES Classic Edition. The absence of Mother 3 is nothing new, but these rumors from seemingly legitimate sources may have been derailed by the popularity of the two Nintendo Classic consoles. The rumors of an English localization of Mother 3 have come and gone over the years, but things really heated up when Emily Rogers and Laura Kate Dale started reporting rumors that a port of the game was coming in either 2016 or 2017, but both of these rumors turned out to be unfounded and Rogers/Dale both seemed less sure about their insider information afterward, prompting fans to wonder whether the game had been pushed back or was never coming at all. With this immersive and slightly difficult gameplay, it's no wonder the title is so popular among Nintendo fans.Mother 3 has been the lost gem of the Nintendo library for a long time, or at least it has to those who don't live in Japan and don't play games on emulators. In Earthbound, Ness is faced with terrifying foes that mature him and convince him that the world is more corrupt than he thought. Earthbound is similar to Ocarina of Time, serving as a coming-of-age story. Part of Mother's popularity was also due to its complexity and the darker themes it tackles.
