Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Shigesato Itoi Explains, Once Again, Why Mother 4 is "Totally Impossible" ='(

Tagged games:

     "Perhaps we should move on to other games on our wishlists, though, as Itoi-san has once again emphatically ruled out producing another entry in the series, saying it's "totally impossible". On this occasion, though, he gives some solid reasoning to Game Watch Impress as to why that is the case, explaining that he makes a living elsewhere and that, creatively, it's difficult to match the three games already produced."

    " When I made 3, I thought I could do it, so I did it.

       Among big-time popstars, if they, you know, put out ten albums, around the fourth album, they can't make very good songs. The albums sell well, but everyone at the concerts wants to hear songs fro mthose three albums. Everyone.

      I'm glad that video games are not my profession. If it was my job, I would've already made 4 and 5."

     I guess his reasoning for not wanting to make Mother 4 is a valid enough, but it still makes very sad..

If Itoi doesn't want to make the game, that's fine. Sad, but fine, it's his choice. But convince Nintendo to bring Mother 3 to the West first.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

I wish that Nintendo would do it themselves. Add to their thriving IP count. Mother can work if Nintendo puts in the work that Itoi won't. I respect Itoi, he isn't primarily a game dev so I can understand.



Don't worry, we can just play the fan-version release when it's delayed a decade from now



Mother 3 wasn't even that good, so I'm fine with him not making another.

Pumped for the fanmade Mother 4, though! Whenever the fuck that releases.

Mother 3 didn't even get localized so even if Mother 4 was created, it most likely will not be released World Wide anyways

Ditto. As long as Ninten doesn't touch that, I am cool. I can't wait to play the fanmade Mother 4 some day/

It's been 10 years, people should really move on.



Ehh, 3 had a good conclusion to it, so I don't think a 4th entry would be necessary.

Looking forward to the fan made version, though.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

remake...
