EarthBound creator says Mother 3 is still a cutting-edge RPG, even as fans continue their 20-year wait for an official translation

EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi has released a message to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his final game, the still-yet-to-be-translated Mother 3.

EarthBound is probably the only Nintendo franchise to really earn the "cult classic" moniker. The original game, known as Mother in Japan, localized for English but never actually released in its day. Mother 2 would eventually be released in the US as EarthBound in 1995, though it didn't see a European launch until 2013 on the Wii U.
