i get that, he doesn't hint at mother 3 in his tweet. but geoff clearly is in his reply.
I think they're just having some good fun.

I really really don't think there's much to look into here.

It's like when people ever see 3 come up from gabens mouth it becomes half life 3

Clearly a Mother 3 remake for the Switch is going to be announced and simultaneously released on the day of Nintendo's E3 Direct.

Just buy a copy and play the fan translation, like, why are people so desperate for an official Mother 3 release?

They wouldn't put work in to translate Earthbound Zero if they weren't gonna do 3, probably release all 3 as a collection at some point

I feel like Geoff is just working people with that tweet. It was just obviously reggie having fun responding to Sam Jackson's bit in the promo.

well they technically didn't since the localization of mother 1 was done in the NES era (they just didn't release it), but i really feel like a basic rom collection on switch isn't as impossible as some people are making it out to be.

Regardless, I never thought I'd hear Samuel L. Jackson mention Reggie and Nintendo

Honestly, I don't think any official Nintendo translation could hold up compared to the fan translation.

I think the same, but it's more of a pride thing at this point. Too much time and effort was put into trying to bring Mother 3 outside Japan, we're talking years of petitions, fan art, fan music, and more all to get Nintendo to give us Mother 3.

I'm bookmarking this post to quote it after E3.

Then bookmark this too, I'll do a Shahadan if Mother 3 appears at E3.

I can't even call this a reach or a stretch. Its clearly cross promo for Shaft and has barely anything to do with Nintendo or their games.

It's not out of character for him to spoil stuff. Never forget when Geoff just dropped the pricing for Xbox One X, still the weirdest thing ever.

The fan translation is perfect. We don't need treehouse's grubby hands touching it.

I can't believe I thought I was getting a cryptic hint to Mother 3 and instead got a bunch of kids who don't know Shaft.

Nintendo will probably put Mother 3 on the Switch online service in 8 years when they add GBA games to the service. It will only be the Japanese ROM and you'll need to read a machine translation of the game in the Switch mobile app.

Well, Nintendo does have a placeholder entry on Amazon UK for a 3DS game...

Whoever hasn't played Mother 3 by now is a god damn stooge. Just download the rom, play the amazingly professional localization and be done with it.
