A detailed description and report posted in 2015 by artist JINKO about the MOTHER 64 Demo at Spaceworld 1999 was discovered on their Pixiv page! They wrote and illustrated this report shortly after playing the demo. Their report goes into detail about Tazmily’s layout, demo cutscenes, and more!

They’ve done it again. Today, Hobonichi announced a full set of new and restocked merchandise for the now-legendary Hobonichi Mother Project – And my wallet can’t take it. Please, I can’t keep up…

Magnet Mascots feature a wide variety of creatures from MOTHER 2! Each one includes a cardboard backing that features a little dialogue relating to that character in the game. I went through and translated them all so fans outside of Japan might understand what each one is referencing. Enjoy!

Interviews about MOTHER 3 with Shigesato Itoi and Satoru Iwata from February, March, and July 1997 have been discovered from issues of the Dengeki Nintendo 64 magazine! All these interviews discuss the game in its initial stages, and July’s interview also includes some discussion about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive.

This is a translation of Toby Fox’s comic featured on page 122 of the first Pollyanna. This is meant to be a companion to the book, so get yours out (or get one from the Hobonichi website, they ship worldwide) and follow along!

Fangamer, a company full of many original MOTHER community members from the legendary Starmen.net, took a trip to Japan in 2016, where they met Hobonichi at their office! There’s even some video of it out there, courtesy of StephenVlog. Fangamer’s reactions to that trip are pretty well-documented in that video and beyond, but there hasn’t been anything (as far as we know, at least) posted online about it from Hobonichi’s perspective. Luckily, one of those Starmen.net veterans, Mrtenda, found Hobonichi’s reaction in a 2017 Hobonichi Guidebook from the good ol’ days and sent the book over to be scanned and translated!
