Before , there was an NES role-playing game called Mother. That game has never been released outside of Japan, despite having had a fully finished translation ready to go. That's all changing soon; Nintendo announced today during the Nintendo World Championship that Mother will be released as Earthbound Beginnings on the Wii U eShop.
The trailer didn't come with a release date or any other details, and just like the Earthbound Virtual Console release last year, it will only be available on Wii U.
But on the bright side, the release of this game and Lucas as Smash Bros. DLC at least gives us hope that an American release of Mother 3 isn't completely impossible.
Given this announcements timing, could Nintendo announce that re-release during its Tuesday Nintendo Direct presentation? We'll find out soon!
[UPDATE] During today's event, Nintendo announced Street Fighter's Ryu and Fire Emblem's Roy are coming to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS as DLC characters. The character model and moves are based on Ryu from Street Fighter II, Nintendo explained in the video. He also has two final smashes, becoming the first character ever to have two powerful finishing moves.
Ryu and Roy are available right now in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS as paid characters. Nintendo warns that the game's servers may experience heavy strain, so you may want to try again later.
Nintendo made quite a few more announcements today during the briefing, including the fact that Ryu and Roy (among others) are getting their own amiibo toys.
