Hobonichi’s new 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!
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, then posted it to a website they had at the time. Their report goes into detail about Tazmily’s layout, demo cutscenes, and more!
Mother: Cognitive Dissonance, the legendary MOTHER fan game, released in 2009 and has had a following within the MOTHER community ever since. It was directed by “Handish2000,” otherwise known as “Otherhand!” We reached out to Otherhand to find out more about his experiences with the MOTHER series, with the MOTHER community, and with the development of Mother: Cognitive Dissonance (CogDis for short)!
It’s a clash of the ages in this extra long and thoughtful interview with Reid Young, the original webmaster of Starmen.net who currently runs things at the gaming merchandise website Fangamer! This interview was from March 2020.
17 years ago, during the promotion of MOTHER 1+2, Shigesato Itoi posted parts of his “Mr. Saturn Translation Course” on Hobonichi. On September 30th, Itoi began a new series of posts about writing like Mr. Saturn!
Last year, Hobonichi published a book about Satoru Iwata simply called Iwata-San. Today, VIZ Media has announced they will be publishing the book for a release outside of Japan as Ask Iwata.
In November 2019, Shigesato Itoi was interviewed about Iwata-San (localized in English as Ask Iwata), a book published by Hobonichi that compiles the words of Satoru Iwata. Itoi talks about his time with Iwata and explores what MOTHER 4 could’ve been like, even though he wouldn’t make another MOTHER game himself.
The very first interview about MOTHER 3 has been discovered in the July 1996 issue of Dengeki Nintendo 64! Satoru Iwata gives his impressions on the series and discusses what this MOTHER on the Nintendo 64 will be like, how it will be similar to the rest of the series, and what will be different from other entries.
A few hours ago, Hobonichi announced part one of the Hobonichi MOTHER Project: a comic book dedicated to MOTHER called Pollyanna!
Watch my translation of the announcement below to see what will be included in the book. 35 artists have drawn for the book including the artist for MOTHER 3, Nobuhiro Imagawa, and the creator of UNDERTALE, Toby Fox.
Announced yesterday, Hobonichi has begun their brand new Hobonichi MOTHER Project!
Watch my translation of the project’s announcement to hear more about their upcoming MOTHER book. In addition to the book, it seems like new content and merchandise are on their way, according to Shigesato Itoi himself!
