Four years of MOTHER Directs is incredible. The games themselves are timeless, but the fans never fail to keep this series relevant with their endless outpouring of passion & creativity. I'm honored to be a part of this community! Here's to another year of a wonderful tradition; I hope fans old and new find themselves here to celebrate 😊
Thanks so much to Kody who gave me the opportunity to do the Mother Direct logo, segment transitions, and the Motherlike RPG Bash logo! It's an honor to be a small part of this amazingly passionate community and to help show off all your projects!
Im always impressed with how much the mother fanbase has evolved over the years. It used to be fan art, then fan hacks. Now theyre straight up making their own fan-remakes and original titles.
I am so glad I could be here for the premiere! Everything looks so amazing, and I can't wait to see how they turn out and play some of these for myself!
I'm so happy to see this community still thriving and creating so much content. It's something beautiful. Thank you all for keeping this wonderful series so strong and loved.
So excited to see new footage of games like mother encore and mother 2 DX and so see so many new games too! Love that this game is still getting love to this day
I find it funny how Mother 3 is the only game that nobody has tried to remake. Just goes to show that it's already great. ...As for the direct, it was pretty hype too.
The only problem with Mother 3 I'd say is that obviously theres some missing content toward the 2nd half when you have your party already because it always felt like some character interaction between the team was needed. Other than that yeah it was already great for sure I'd love a hack that introduces some interaction between all of 'em though.
@@RetroNerdyGamer That could be done. A hack that turns the title screen into "EarthBound Advance" would also be pretty cool I think Mother 3 had the most dialogue from playable characters out of the three games, I can't think of many examples like that in Mother 1 or 2.
@@Sterlix Not at all! We've polished the story, the direction and just translated the game to english. We are currently working on new, improved battle system and we want to polish it so it won't be meh ^^
I hope we do meet again. I'm around halfway through Earthbound and I was absolutely blown away but the amount and quality of fan creations in this community. They really show that heart and passion are the fuel behind world-changing art. I'll be back when I know more about Mother; take care everyone 🧡
The boundless creativity and passion of this fanbase never ceases to amaze me. It brings so much happiness to my heart to see all these incredible projects. Thank you so much for this!
I am so happy to see the MOTHER Direct come this far since the first one, it really feels like the franchise as it is nowadays truly belongs to the fans rather than Nintendo or anyone else and that makes it feel so special.
Omg Athenian Rhapsody looks so nice. I hope it will be a simultaneous release on all platform. If not, then at least I will buy it on Steam. Edit: I just bought it on the Switch and it's really good. 😁
I'm actually new to the Mother series (only finished mother 1) but i'm so interested in the whole mother universe so this was a delight to watch. Loved the Direct❤.
still saddened by that one project from last year's direct that fell through like a few months ago. it looked real interesting to me, something about it stuck out among the other games shown last year. i think it was called Shattered Earth or something. its been rebranded, there isnt gonna be a game any more, its planned to be a web comic now.
I wish the t-shirts were available in the same checkerboard design as the print. That image on a white t-shirt feels kinda strange, and I know I will not be able to keep that thing clean without ruining the print

amazes me how you got lani minella to play lucas again for this video that's so cool dude i give her my appreciation
Lani is so down for everything. She's an amazing VA with tons of range and also super nice. Very glad to say I met her.
Those Furquest keys were taken almost immediately! I was going to pick it up regardless, but it's so kind of the developers to do such a generous act!
I always enjoy seeing what the community is up to! Thanks to everyone who helped put together the collection on Steam too!
it's amazing to see the Mother 1 remake rom hack still a thing after so many years, looking forward for any future demos and final product
I've been SO excited to see what the other contributors have been cooking up!
My man that was straight fire from you, and all involved. Thank you for making great stuff.
I’m hype for everything earthbound beginnings related !!!
What an amazing presentation! Congrats to the team, props for making it all happen! Much love from the Paperverse ❤❤❤

The Mother inspired games are amazing, how can you show so many awesome games in so little time?
This was probably the best one yet, everything I saw looked so interesting plus a Encore demo! Yes pls!
thank you so much for making such a wonderful event! my heart goes out to everyone who makes projects like this possible!
lets just say the benichi fans will love this
As a benichi fan, I can confirm I will love this
True!
Benichi stop being narcissist for once
mother encore demo perhaps?
Dang. I guess I'm going to hate it
I love how those character faces pop up from behind the textboxes in the Dreamed Away trailer (38 minutes into the video)
I am so glad I could be here for the premiere! Everything looks so amazing, and I can't wait to see how they turn out and play some of these for myself!
This was awesome for sure. Really got me more interested in this franchise some more. 10/10 all around, everyone killed this!
Thank you so much for a place to showing our game!
Earthbound, USA getting a release date was SO HYPE FOR ME! I had heard no updates about it for YEARS and we're just hit with the release date!!!
Mother Direct is upon us
Millions will earthbound
Excited for this year’s direct! Looking forward to what’s showcased!

Watching the hack "Mother 2 Deluxe" going crazy !
The updates on the Discord are amazing.
I'm so happy to see this community still thriving and creating so much content. It's something beautiful. Thank you all for keeping this wonderful series so strong and loved.

I just finished summer classes, so unfortunately I couldn't see the premiere live.
I hope we’ll see a release of the Mother 2 DX update

The Mother's community is THE BEST!!!
Here we go!

YIPPIE!! Thank you so much for hosting this! Fantastic projects aaaaaaa
Here's to 4 years of MOTHER Directs and 34 years of MOTHER as a whole!
Support! Really looking forward to seeing what they look like in their full versions, hopefully these new games will be released soon.

I genuinely can not wait for earthbound dimensions it looks stunning and I’ve listened to the soundtrack available and all the new mixes are amazing
Furquest is an absolute 10/10. Go give it a try! :D
Man, I didn't know Mother Direct was gonna be today. But yeah, I made it in time.
I'm hyped for all those games. Especially for MOMOinc. 👀
Im sorry if im late to the party but is Oddventrue cancelled??
@@Sterlix Not at all! We've polished the story, the direction and just translated the game to english. We are currently working on new, improved battle system and we want to polish it so it won't be meh ^^
@@OddventureRPG Looking forward to it! We will be waiting
I got into this series like, 3 weeks ago so seeing this is pretty cool 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🤑🤑
I hope we do meet again. I'm around halfway through Earthbound and I was absolutely blown away but the amount and quality of fan creations in this community. They really show that heart and passion are the fuel behind world-changing art. I'll be back when I know more about Mother; take care everyone 🧡
Hoping next year we get Oddity for winter of 2024
Hahahaha no way "Lucas vs Everything". Ness Vs Everything is one of the best vids on the internet it's just raw nostalgia
Thank you Mother Forever to help keep the fanbase alive ❤ You’re a boss!
An awesome direct! A lot of great projects that I need to check out/keep an eye out for. I appreciate you sharing all of this Mother goodness! 😁👍
These Mother Directs are always so cool, excited to see all the great announcements today!
Excellent!! Looking forward to all the new projects coming out :)
The boundless creativity and passion of this fanbase never ceases to amaze me. It brings so much happiness to my heart to see all these incredible projects. Thank you so much for this!
Awesome work everyone!
fantastic direct!!! everything looked so incredible
i missed it sadly, but still im excited to see all the awesome new MOTHER related projects :D
What a beautiful gift for the fans of the Mother series. Thank you to all the developers, animators, etc. Who contributed to this wholesome community.
Yoo, She Dreams Elsewhere is still alive! I remember playing a demo for that at an indie expo in, like, 2018. Glad to see it featured! :)
Hope we see some mother 3 fan projects
I hope we got Ninten for Smash
The Mother games have quickly become some of my favourite games ever.
I am so happy to see the MOTHER Direct come this far since the first one, it really feels like the franchise as it is nowadays truly belongs to the fans rather than Nintendo or anyone else and that makes it feel so special.
i deeply love how athenian rapsody is stark contrast with the other more serious motherlike indie rpg.
Omg Athenian Rhapsody looks so nice. I hope it will be a simultaneous release on all platform. If not, then at least I will buy it on Steam. Edit: I just bought it on the Switch and it's really good. 😁
can't wait!!
Just popped up on my recommended, love it! I’m excited for all the games on here!
-I need help getting Mother 3’s ENG translation-
You can apply the translation to your rom at mother4ever.net/patch 👌
I wanna support the Iwata book but the KS has been over, what do I do?
Their preorder link unfortunately wasn't ready in time, but it will be available soon enough if you follow their Kickstarter page and social media!
thx for the reply!@@NOKOGODO
anthenian rhapsody is actually looking to be so awesome I can't wait to hear about the "cool mode" some more (it can be toggled on and off)
I'm actually new to the Mother series (only finished mother 1) but i'm so interested in the whole mother universe so this was a delight to watch. Loved the Direct❤.
13:20 Obviously Mother's version of America is super fictionalized, but the idea of an Interstate Highway System in 1902 got me REALLY thrown off haha
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
EARTHBOUND USA IS FINALLY COMING OUT WHAT?????
this'll be so aweedosmse
still saddened by that one project from last year's direct that fell through like a few months ago.
it looked real interesting to me, something about it stuck out among the other games shown last year.
i think it was called Shattered Earth or something. its been rebranded, there isnt gonna be a game any more, its planned to be a web comic now.
Hopefully, the mother direct continues for a long time. I want to one day make a Mother Like Indie Game!
let’s goo!
I wish the t-shirts were available in the same checkerboard design as the print. That image on a white t-shirt feels kinda strange, and I know I will not be able to keep that thing clean without ruining the print
What a good direct this was
What a high quality product jeez. This is a fantastic presentation!
Is it me or am I wayyy to excited for Mother 1 remake? 'cause the game normaly was to frustrating and difficult for me to continue lol
I'm with you!! I also quit Mother 1 due to frustration so I'm super excited for the remake because I really want to beat Mother 1!
I think Mother fans will be happy
Another one for the books! Great work, everyone =D
Such a great direct and its the best one i've ever seen
20:17 *peak* ad.
I wanna see mother encore gameming 🗿
Nintendo has forsaken us, so we must make our own MOTHER games
18:13 Ninten looks different and I like it
It's hard to believe that I'm approximately 10 years younger than the first MOTHER game 😮
The MOTHER: Encore Demo is so good!
I played the dreamed away demo, it is really good and leaves you with so many questions so far, I recommend it
i CANNOT WAIT for mother forever and earthbound dimensions.
On New year's Im gonna download almost everything avaliable
Cant wait to watch this! ❤
Big year for me lol
Literal insanity at it's finest
