If I had a nickel for every Mother 4 that got announced with a promising looking reveal, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@acecanti4175 Actually it wasn't DMCA'd, they said they were scared it would be because Pokemon Uranium and Another Metroid 2 Remake had gotten DMCA'd shortly before. It ended up being a timely excuse since there was clearly already a rebrand in progress at the time of announcement.
I really want to feel hyped for this, but honestly after Oddity it's hard to feel the same, specially after waiting for so long and still not receiving any updates. I'm really glad the Mother 4 dream is still alive though, and I'm sure I'll get more attached to this one the more I learn about it. I hope this gets as popular as Oddity, because at this point it has a far better chance at actually releasing.
Even though they're different games, Toby Fox has filled in the Mother vacancy in spectacular fashion for ME. If this ends up becoming a reality, it's icing on the cake.
@@10upstudios nah lots of fan games don’t work out or become vapor ware , more than ones that finish. However many do get completed and that’s awesome. So everyone should judge on a project by project basis I start with faith for everything and decide based on how the updates go
@@swagar I pledged to the EB USA kickstarter and I feel like I should let you know that it isn't vaporware or dead. The scope of the project just changed drastically as time went on. But they've still been posting updates on it. The last update was just days ago.
Also, I would love for both Ninten and Aaron to be Ness' and Lucas' echo-fighters in Smash Bros, in the hypothetical that this version of Mother 4 was an official game.
He looks an awful lot like Charlie Bucket from the Charlie and Chocolate Factory from 1971 (not the 2000's remake) and this game is supposed to have a 70's vibe inherited from what is now called Oddity. He's using the red sweater too.
Looks great but I'm hoping it won't be subject to what I call "the Mother Curse" where it feels like nearly every project related to this series gets stuck in development hell, whether it be official or fan made.
I love how in Mother 1 and 2, the protagonists, are similar. Just like how in Mother 3 and 4, the protagonists are similar. And to top it off, Oddity and Mother: Beyond Bounds; have similar protagonists making it almost like a double trilogy.
Well.. There have been multiple Mother 4 fan games, most, if not all the big ones have not been released yet, one notable one was called Mother 4, but they renamed that one to "Oddity" to avoid legal concerns. That might be the one you're talking about, no, sadly it hasn't been released.. :(
Hey guys Oddity 2 just got announced despite not being released the first one yet... Jokes aside I'm definitely looking forward to play this, as finding Mother ROM hacks or fangames is find like a shiny diamond
This is the ultimate "Fine, I'll do it myself", I'm in awe just by seeing a trailer, I really hope you guys can give us something that we where yearning with the Oddity team, a true Mother 4 game. It doesn't matter if it takes years from now, what matters is communicating with those who follow the project, I really wish you the best with this game.
on the bad side...Nintendo is a complete idiot and won't let a mother 4 go unnoticed...Nintendo doesn't even touch the subject of the mother franchise, but even though it's a not very well-known franchise...Nintendo could definitely end up taking the project down...and it's sad to know that Nintendo having more recognition for games inspired by Nintendo games, should be proud , not process the project...but anyway...Nintendo is Nintendo right? But apparently the mother franchise was frozen in alaska and it looks like there won't be any more releases or anything about mother official,But that left a legacy for the new RPGs that will come out in the future....
@@OBigFloppaOFC Thankfully, Nintendo doesn't own the rights to the franchise; they just own the original trilogy and some licensing rights. Shigesato Itoi owns the franchise, and Nintendo won't do anything with their half of the Mother license without Itoi-san's input.
@@zierin705 On the unfortunate event (god forbid ofc) that Itoi were to pass away, what would happen then? Would Nintendo be able to start doing something about these projects? That's probably my only fear tbh.
@@Dara-up1pt That's actually a good question… Assuming Itoi-san doesn't will away his part of the license to another person or company and Nintendo doesn't buy it for some reason, the MOTHER franchise (minus the trilogy owned by Nintendo) would become public domain decades after Itoi-san's passing.
@@Dara-up1pt he'll probably let his company ; Hobonichi own the franchise and make MOHER fangames keep running, Itoi knows that we want more MOTHER, and he definitely knows the community's passionate projects and fanworks, so I'm 90% sure he'll find a way to make people have more MOTHER games in the future through this.
the “og” mother 4 was rebranded because the team felt held back creatively having to stay on brand, not because of a nintendo dmca. it was their own choice to rebrand. the rights for the series primarily fall under hobonichi, the company it’s creator works for. unless they decide to have say in fan projects, there is no fear of this project ever facing legal troubles. shigesato itoi encourages fan creations and hobonichi has even collaborated with fan artist to make the pollyanna art book which celebrated the series anniversary.
1. OG Mother 4 rebranded because of lack of creative freedom AND concerns over DMCA takedowns. This was stated in the rebrand announcement. 2. Nintendo doesnt need the permission of other co-owners to sue for infrigement, they don't even have to inform Hobonichi or Itoi that they are doing so. It is their right as a co-owner. 3. Itoi said it'd be impossible for him to make Mother 4 and he welcomes someone else do it. That "someone else" would be a new director. Acting as if what he said implies he's giving fans free rein to do whatever they want with his IP is taking what he said massively out of context. There is a big difference between collabing with artists to create an officially licensed piece of media and allowing an unlicensed piece of media infringing on their copyright to exist. Not saying it is likely that Nintendo or Itoi will come after them though, in all honestly I'm sure the project will be fine and I still wish the devs the best because what they've created looks stellar.
@@user-hy5hs2wk2i did you even read their comment? Nintendo legally can't sue them, because the characters belong to Shigesato Itoi, not Nintendo. That and Nintendo doesn't care about the Mother series.
@@elpayaso4744 Oddity has been in development for an extremely long time, and is extremely likely never getting released because of a number of factors
I wasn't sure about this project at first but after watching the trailer again I better appreciate all the passion and effort you put into this. The music is excellent, the environments look solid, there's some super creative enemy designs here and what we do see of the dialogue is pretty great. Happy Holidays to the team behind this game, have a good break for the holidays, we'll see you next year.
After waiting so long for Oddity, I really hope you guys can make this. Seriously there's so much effort and input already just from this trailer alone. Keep it up guys. I'd love to see a Mother 4 one day, like Itoi said, he'd love to play it
Por Oddity no esperes mucho y MOTHER 4 de parte de Nintendo ni lo esperes por el echo de que ellos le dieron fin a la saga desde MOTHER 3 , así que esta es la última esperanza para los fans de la saga.
I really hope people dont hound you guys for updates and what not. Same shit happened with Oddity, sure it sucks ppl had to keep getting their hopes up just to be let down, but it's a fan game made in devs free time that they aren't getting paid for, they dont owe anyone shit yet ppl still get so entitled. It's honestly kind of disgusting how entitled people can get to something they didn't even work on or put money in to. This project looks really good so i hope it can come to fruition, the aesthetic is spot on; great sprite work and designs, feels like the natural progress of the series even if it's unofficial.
the difference between this and Oddity is that Oddity was obviously *inspired* by Mother but went out of their way to avoid the wrath of Nintendo. This one is just begging for a takedown notice
@@ABentPaperclip Which is still funny cause there was no guarantee Nintendo was gonna do anything. Especially since Itoi still owns the over all series and he himself practically gave the good to go to make a Mother 4.
@@ABentPaperclip nintendo is not really the owner of Mother, they only care enough about this series to put the characters in every smash bros, and really, how wouldn't they? The highest that these games managed to sell at the time was 1 million.
This looks really gorgeous, even hitting that nostalgic point with the music and style that represents Mother/EB. I've been waiting for Oddity release, ever since the first few instances of 2014 when it was shown, but it's been nothing since, besides a small update. I'm hoping that this game can come out, fully flourishing into it's own thing, there may be other games out there that help feel the void, but it's been do long since we've gotten anything EB or Mother related. I can't wait to see how the project goes, and including some updates later down the line, it looks fantastic so far.
The feeling of nostalgia and hope for the Mother series that this trailer irradiates is utterly astonishing. I can only hope your project reaches its fruition and keep in mind us Mother fans will support your team. Good luck :)
Wow, the graphics look great I really like the way the new battle backgrounds look and the music sounds awesome too. I also like how the main character of this game looks like Lucas, Like how Ness looks like Ninten
As a Mother/EarthBound fan, i hope this project will not fail like Oddity and old Mother 4 project. I don't know if people who have had to do with the old one are working on this new project or not.
@@matthewroyer1561 that game rebranded itself, it's no longer mother 4. Also that game hasn't had an update in almost two years, probably stuck in development hell for all we know
@@matthewroyer1561 what other fan made mother 4s are in development besides this one or oddity. I’m curious cause you said this game was ripping off another fan made mother 4
This is amazing! I love seeing the mother community band together to make something truly special. It's one of the reasons I have been in the community for the past few years!
Words can’t express my anticipation, everything about it looks and sounds like a true Mother game, it’s so amazing! I hope for the best for the project, no matter how long it may take, and I’ll be supporting you guys all the way!
OMG the transitions, the colors, the character design, the enemies, the animations, the PSI. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this trailer. I still can't believe this trailer revived the hype I once felt with... a certain game in development... Thank you very much guys, your work looks phenomenal, you have my support. Dios mio, las transiciones, la paleta de colores, el diseño de los personajes, los enemigos, las animaciones, los PSI absolutamente TODO me encanta sobre este trailer. Todavía no puedo creer que este trailer reviviera el hype tan grande que sentí alguna vez con... cierto juego en desarrollo. Muchas gracias gente del staff, su trabajo se ve fenomenal, cuentan con mi apoyo
1:35 "I feel like someone, somewhere is expectin a lot from us" YOU BET YOUR LIFE After the cancellation of Oddity (formerly known as Mother 4), YOU BET YOUR LIFE. Jokes aside, please do not let this die. :(
I want to tell all the composers that are part of this project that they are great, they clearly know how to capture the essence of mother, keep it up guys! :)
Wow! I never knew there was another Mother 4 in development, this looks incredible! Since Oddity rebranding to its own thing has opened up room for a new fanmade Mother 4, now there's another game to look forward to. Best of wishes, and I hope both will get to see the light of day whenever they're ready!
I’m just now noticing this trailer after I was looking for Mother 4 ost to listen again… so Oddity to Mother 4 this looks great I still can’t wait 😭 Keep it up don’t give up!
*THEORY:* Mother 4 takes places in a new universe that was created when Lucas pulled the final needle. Everyone in Mother 3 when the needle was pulled now take slightly different appearances and names and lost their memory from the past universe. Aaron is indeed Lucas. Aaron/Lucas goes on an adventure to "uncover ancient history" a.k.a. the events of Mother 3 and bring back everyones memories. The character Jared (shown on one of the Mother 4 website screenshots) is actually Claus. When the needle was pulled it brought back the dead people including Claus and Hinawa into the new universe. Take this theory made in literally 5 minute with a grain of salt though lol, I don't even actually fully believe it just wild speculation from me. In reality, Aaron just looks alot like Lucas because Ness looks a lot like Ninten and theres nothing more than that.
Looks good, and similar to Mother 3 in style. I think it's great that the Mother community is still thriving! Good job with the music aswell, it's one of the most important aspects of a Mother game imo.
I kinda wanted Maggie to be the tools dependent no psi party member since that role almost always falls on male characters and her design screams that to me, but still she gotta be one of my favorite fan design right alongside Floyd from Oddity as designs that you don't really see in Mother but fits perfectly in.
Pretty much every song in this video is absolutely amazing. Good job on the score for this. I'd love to help out if I could, I've been looking for an opportunity on a project like this, but it appears im a bit late. You already found a good composer. No matter, I'm gonna follow this project. I am very exited for what comes from this.
This trailer is amazing. I'm really excited what'll come next with this project. Hopefully it won't get delayed or have it's name changed like with ODDITY!
seeing this has renewed my hope in mother 4 coming to life. I've been following the original project since the 8th grade and seeing it rebrand to oddity, while yes I'm proud of how far it's come, I was always holding out that M4 was the final product. I'm excited for this and for Oddity, bring both on!!!!
Please keep up the work when you're able! The world may be on your shoulders with this daunting task of making this happen but we are all very thrilled about your efforts and what this will be.
This looks astounding, I can *feel* the love being put into this game and I've never touched or had an interest in earthbound/mother in my life. Keep at it!
Tbh idk how you decide to handle the soundtrack but i'm not a fan of the "no leitmotiv" way to handle music of shane mesa. Don't get me wrong, he creates massives bangers, but the mother series really have a strong connection with the way it keeps some melodies through many differents musics that makes us attached to them. I'd love to be able to get that feeling again from new melodies/songs and such in mother 4
@@reese3141 indeed, but still Mesa talked in interview about his style and not really doing leitmotivs. Just two songs sharing one melody... Is not enough for me. Mother 3 litterally proved me how much we can twist a few melodies to create a much bigger impact. It's not dramatic to not reach the same amount of course... But just a bit more would be appreciated
@@MegaTheman25 i guess. Tho it's still an aspect that toby fox said he was inspired by the mother series. My point is still valid. Oh and as we can see there are other musicians working on that game so i think this is already solved
If the fans won't give us mother 4 then I guess it's up to the fans to give us mother 4

@@alejandrocontreras6362 LOL!! hey, how are you?? I'm a big Mother fan too, its one of my favorite series right next to SMT
The feeling of nostalgia and hope for the Mother series that this trailer irradiates is utterly astonishing. I can only hope your project reaches its fruition and keep in mind us Mother fans will support your team. Good luck :)
Ah shit, here we go again.
I sense history repeating itself.
Wow, the graphics look great I really like the way the new battle backgrounds look and the music sounds awesome too. I also like how the main character of this game looks like Lucas, Like how Ness looks like Ninten
Well, looks like I need to make another video now lol
As a Mother/EarthBound fan, i hope this project will not fail like Oddity and old Mother 4 project. I don't know if people who have had to do with the old one are working on this new project or not.
when the fans have two mother 4s lmao
Excited for whatever this brings! Been craving new earthbound content!
Bruh there’s already a fan made mother 4 in development! This is just ripping off the title
@@matthewroyer1561 that game rebranded itself, it's no longer mother 4. Also that game hasn't had an update in almost two years, probably stuck in development hell for all we know
@@matthewroyer1561 sounds like you’re a part of Nintendo and trying to get this game taken down.
@@cgcoconutgun I know that. It’s now known as oddity and no longer follows the OFFICIAL mother timeline
@@matthewroyer1561 what other fan made mother 4s are in development besides this one or oddity. I’m curious cause you said this game was ripping off another fan made mother 4
Friendship cancelled with Oddity.
Now Mother 4 is my best friend.
Trisme in a nutshell: you've been alive for 4 months and the entire fanbase has a crush on you
Down bad nerds being down bad nerds... especially for minors
@@StarmenRock I don't simp
@@StarmenRock As a down bad nerd, I can confirm this as true
@@PlumbG64 you better stop watching anime then, thats disgusting
Everything here looks so polished. I'm amazed. Keep up the great work!
This is amazing! I love seeing the mother community band together to make something truly special. It's one of the reasons I have been in the community for the past few years!
Words can’t express my anticipation, everything about it looks and sounds like a true Mother game, it’s so amazing! I hope for the best for the project, no matter how long it may take, and I’ll be supporting you guys all the way!
ah yes, another game that's gonna be in development hell for a decade and then cancelled.
Oddity and this aren't the same thing.
@@aerth6946 Yeah, I know. That's why I said ANOTHER.
If it does then oh well. Its not like either were crowdfunded in which case you'd actually be owed something.
This looks cool & the music is neat (especially that title music at the end, beautiful 💖)
OMG the transitions, the colors, the character design, the enemies, the animations, the PSI. I absolutely love EVERYTHING about this trailer.
I still can't believe this trailer revived the hype I once felt with... a certain game in development...
Thank you very much guys, your work looks phenomenal, you have my support.
Dios mio, las transiciones, la paleta de colores, el diseño de los personajes, los enemigos, las animaciones, los PSI absolutamente TODO me encanta sobre este trailer.
Todavía no puedo creer que este trailer reviviera el hype tan grande que sentí alguna vez con... cierto juego en desarrollo.
Muchas gracias gente del staff, su trabajo se ve fenomenal, cuentan con mi apoyo
1:35 "I feel like someone, somewhere is expectin a lot from us"
YOU BET YOUR LIFE
After the cancellation of Oddity (formerly known as Mother 4), YOU BET YOUR LIFE.
Jokes aside, please do not let this die.
:(
Oddity got canceled?
Nevermind. A bit after having written that, I found out the "news" were rumors that go back to late 2021. As of now, they're dismissed.
@@FindingsOfAnArmouredMind oh alright
I thought that the pig was speaking of... pigs you know? (because of the pigmasks)
finally winter 2014 is coming
I want to tell all the composers that are part of this project that they are great, they clearly know how to capture the essence of mother, keep it up guys! :)
Wow! I never knew there was another Mother 4 in development, this looks incredible! Since Oddity rebranding to its own thing has opened up room for a new fanmade Mother 4, now there's another game to look forward to. Best of wishes, and I hope both will get to see the light of day whenever they're ready!
The dummies at "oddity" left us hanging for over a decade. I hope you guys won't do the same.
Please don't do the same, my heart can't take it.
No need to be insulting.
This looks amazing! Hit me right in my inner child with this;please keep it up w/this one!
I’m just now noticing this trailer after I was looking for Mother 4 ost to listen again… so Oddity to Mother 4 this looks great I still can’t wait 😭 Keep it up don’t give up!
Woah! We’re getting Oddity AND Mother 4?!?? What a time to be alive!!!
Somethings up
Thank you for not giving up on Mother 4.
I'm so happy to see that still exist.
This hits deep in my heart.
Will be turning on notifications for any updates. Really looking forward to seeing more!
Aww, this is really cool
*THEORY:* Mother 4 takes places in a new universe that was created when Lucas pulled the final needle. Everyone in Mother 3 when the needle was pulled now take slightly different appearances and names and lost their memory from the past universe. Aaron is indeed Lucas. Aaron/Lucas goes on an adventure to "uncover ancient history" a.k.a. the events of Mother 3 and bring back everyones memories. The character Jared (shown on one of the Mother 4 website screenshots) is actually Claus. When the needle was pulled it brought back the dead people including Claus and Hinawa into the new universe. Take this theory made in literally 5 minute with a grain of salt though lol, I don't even actually fully believe it just wild speculation from me. In reality, Aaron just looks alot like Lucas because Ness looks a lot like Ninten and theres nothing more than that.
your pfp kinda sucks dude
@@Conner3326 nah it looks cool
@@Conner3326 thanks
That's a pretty nice theory that would make a lot of sense
there's an extra seen after the "End?" where it shows that everyone is still alive so I think this game just takes place a few decades after mother 3
Looks good, and similar to Mother 3 in style. I think it's great that the Mother community is still thriving! Good job with the music aswell, it's one of the most important aspects of a Mother game imo.
Wow, that was REALLY something special! You've got a follow from me for sure, hats off to you!
This is some super impressive looking pixel art! Just gorgeous.
I kinda wanted Maggie to be the tools dependent no psi party member since that role almost always falls on male characters and her design screams that to me, but still she gotta be one of my favorite fan design right alongside Floyd from Oddity as designs that you don't really see in Mother but fits perfectly in.
So basically, Female Lloyd/Jeff/Duster?
@@Shadow404x Yes
It doesn't hurt to dream about this work of art being released one day.
Tonda Gossa! This trailer made me tear up just a bit. This is looking good so far! Keep going! Best wishes!
Looks great! I love how the Adolescence (Toilet Cow's Recommendation) song from Mother 3 was remixed here!
Pretty much every song in this video is absolutely amazing. Good job on the score for this. I'd love to help out if I could, I've been looking for an opportunity on a project like this, but it appears im a bit late. You already found a good composer. No matter, I'm gonna follow this project. I am very exited for what comes from this.
This trailer is amazing. I'm really excited what'll come next with this project. Hopefully it won't get delayed or have it's name changed like with ODDITY!
Figures i can't stop coming back to watch this trailer every so often.
But i guess it just looks and sounds REALLY GOOD!
seeing this has renewed my hope in mother 4 coming to life. I've been following the original project since the 8th grade and seeing it rebrand to oddity, while yes I'm proud of how far it's come, I was always holding out that M4 was the final product. I'm excited for this and for Oddity, bring both on!!!!
we gonna get mother 4 before mother 3 localized
Comparing this trailer to oddity's old "mother 4" trailer, this definitely looks more finished.
Please keep up the work when you're able! The world may be on your shoulders with this daunting task of making this happen but we are all very thrilled about your efforts and what this will be.
クオリティが高い！マザー2と3の味のある良さも出ている！プレイしてみたいですね！
I really hope this comes to fruition! I love this and want to play it already!
It really does look amazing! I can't wait to see more updates on it. I am glad the Mother 4 dream is still alive
WOW this looks fantastic, i wish you guys luck and i hope nothing goes awry
This looks astounding, I can *feel* the love being put into this game and I've never touched or had an interest in earthbound/mother in my life. Keep at it!
I usually don’t get interested in mother fan projects but this one caught my attention.
"Mother: An oddity 4 Ness"
Ha, i guess it doesnt work here. But it sure is a cute title.
This is perfect. That sound design is just unbelievable.
This looks INCREDIBLE!!! Congrats on initiating such a fun project, i hope everything goes well!
Tbh idk how you decide to handle the soundtrack but i'm not a fan of the "no leitmotiv" way to handle music of shane mesa. Don't get me wrong, he creates massives bangers, but the mother series really have a strong connection with the way it keeps some melodies through many differents musics that makes us attached to them. I'd love to be able to get that feeling again from new melodies/songs and such in mother 4
There is a main motif in the old mother 4 though, see "Here we Are" or "Its gotta be you"
@@reese3141 indeed, but still Mesa talked in interview about his style and not really doing leitmotivs. Just two songs sharing one melody... Is not enough for me. Mother 3 litterally proved me how much we can twist a few melodies to create a much bigger impact. It's not dramatic to not reach the same amount of course... But just a bit more would be appreciated
This your brain on undertale
@@MegaTheman25 i guess.
Tho it's still an aspect that toby fox said he was inspired by the mother series. My point is still valid.
Oh and as we can see there are other musicians working on that game so i think this is already solved
Is Shane working on this?
The atomic power robot will probably become the only enemy, that showed up in every mother game.
Lemme check the bestiaries of Touhou Mother and Return of Touhou Mother real quick...
This is looking Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing where this goes
Man, I really hope that these guys aren't sued by the people who never made this game
Nintendo isn't one guy.
Looks awesome! Can't wait for release!
Woah! This looks amazing! This is not the "Oddity" we can expect, but it's cool! I can't wait for more details!
i was so invested in the other project back in 2015 or whatever, seeing this trailer and website is like walking through a bizarro parallel universe
This looks incredible you got my full support!
seriously cant stop watching this
I loved this and I really hope it actually gets to come to fruition. :D
The sound design is amazing for this
Yesss this looks really good, please keep it alive
