August 25th, 2009 | MOTHER 3
Remember a few months back when that EarthBound lookalike game made by Level 5 hit Japanese magazines and sites? If you don’t, see here.
Well, this time, there’s a completely different game that looks somewhat like MOTHER 3. It’s called Fantasy Life, is for the Nintendo DS, and also happens to be another Level 5 game. But Brownie Brown, the studio that did all the art and programming for MOTHER 3, is involved as well, so it’s no wonder that the graphics give off a somewhat similar vibe. Also, Nobuo Uematsu is doing the music
The game’s planned to be released in Japan sometime in 2010.



Since this is only very barely EarthBound series related I don’t expect I’ll post about this much more. But a number of people sent in news about this last night so it’s definitely worth a quick mention. Also, thanks to those folks who sent in news about it!

Ha! I just send you the link to this article, seems like I was to slow (or you are hyper fast)
So that blurb about MOTHER 3 in this game presentations was about Brounie Brown involvement?
Well If the game cames to america, they already got one buyer just for the style.

Looks fun, I hope we get it.
Beautiful looking game. The first few seconds I thought those were MOTHER 3 screenshots!
Looks like a cross between Harvest Moon and Mother 3…I wonder what it’s about. It’s very pretty.
LOL I first thought this was a mother 3 hack or something when I first saw the screen shots.

Brownie Brown is also involved with the London Life mode in Professor Layton 4. GoNintendo says it resembles Mother 3 too:

Oh yes, I love this graphical style! I hope the US will be getting this game! (Probably not, though…)
Wow looks neat. If its an RPG then I’d love to get it… if it ever comes to america.

Joystiq posted some screen shots of London Life:

It doesnt really get me. Mother characters have the same body shape, the only thing that gives me a mother vibe is the eyes.
These screenshots, and the art style of Mother 3, is also similar to the sprite art in Lunar Knights. I suppose it’s a popular style of artwork nowadays.
Looks more like the Professor Layton games than Mother 3 to me, which makes sense as Level 5 also did Layton (pick up the second game today!)
I think I might be getting this game when it comes out. Looks good, plus I like Uematsu’s music.

When I first saw the screenshots earier today, I thought it looked Mother 3-ish (Especially the campfire).

Actually reminds me of Secret of Evermore with the scenery presentation.
oh my god
the art style does remind me so much of mother, but the other level 5 game looked closer.
BUT this looks fantastic, its a fresh breath even for 2d animation which we’ve seen a lot of.
This gives us hope for a new Mother game. Maybe someone will decide that it’s perfect for the DS when they se Fantasy Life…
Hey…Brownie Brown is working with Level 5 on a sidegame for the fourth Layton game, supposedly called “London Life.”

Think this is it?
That looks JUST like Mother 3. And if you’re wondering, i’m Mr Saturn.
Just to update, this game is going to be released for the presumed 3DS. Here’s the reference from wiki:
