Mother 4

So a couple fans of the Mother series have been working on a fan game called Mother 4 for about 5 years. Holy, this game has evolved a lot. There are no spoilers of the plot on the site (the trailer just adds questions).

Mother 4 was supposed to be released this year, December, but was pushed back to early 2015. A release date will be revealed in a few weeks. I really hope we get it within the next week. The wait has been killing me for several years!

http://www.mother4game.com/ is the link to the official Mother 4 site. Take a look!

Quick info and interesting facts:

-The sound battle system from Mother 3 returns
--For those who have no idea what the sound battle system is, a simple Google of "Mother 3 sound battle" should yield results. There may be spoilers to Mother 3, so be careful.

-It's 100% free

-It's been reworked at least once. Maybe more. The current version has existed for roughly 2-3 years.

-The game will be as long as the usual Mother game (roughly 24 hours, I suppose)

-If you enter your email in (so you get news about the Mother 4 game), you will be able to play the game before anyone who did not enter their email in.

Any thoughts?

No plans for an app as of now  

I had no idea this was even being made. Thanks for sharing!

Sadly, the beta they were working on was mostly incomplete. And the ideas behind it basically became Mother 3 for GBA, which was a more suitable format for it anyway. Here's a good comparison of the two.

Supposedly it was either around 70% close to finishing, or around 33%. I can't remember the exact numbers. Itoi thought it was close to finishing, Miyamoto thought it was under 40%.

Needless to say, there probably is a beta floating around under the radar somewhere.

Unfinished betas are interesting to explore, but ultimately disappointing. I would personally like to check out a beta of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but it wouldn't be something you could actually play through. Just a collection of oddities. :p
