Most of you might never have heard of Earthbound (or 'Mother') before. Earthbound was a SNES game, from which Ness originated. But it'll be back...

According to the Japanese gamessite Quiter, Nintendo is working on a remake of the SNES game. Mother 1 and 2 will be created for the GBA, another (Mother 3) will be available for the GameCube.

Some shots from the original game (Earthbound on SNES) can be found here. Of course, the new versions will have enhanced graphics.

Mother 3 (the one destined for the GameCube) was oriiginally in development for the Nintendo 64. However, the game took eons to complete, and with poor results. Mother 3 never made it to the shelves, but now it can prove itself worthy once again. Ness will be back!

The games are rumoured to be released about the same time as the Gameboy Player.
