I waited for tim to write about it, but it might have skipped his large prime radar, or he might be waiting to get some more information before writing about it: we now have a date for Mother 3, from Shigesato Itoi himself. The much awaited postmodern(!) sequel should come out on April 20. This newspost's picture was found, via the IC forums, on Dan Owsen's blog. Among other jobs at Nintendo, Dan Owsen translated Mother 2 for the US release (retitled Earthbound, as most of you know). One's hopeful he will also get to translate what is possibly the last important GBA release.
