Well, the hits are already starting- Mother 1 is going to be released on Wii U Virtual console as Earthbound Beginnings. Here's what the series creator has to say.

Well, now I feel old. I remember reading coverage of Earthbound in Nintendo Power back in the day, and now we're getting Mother Earthbound Beginnings (it "only" took 26 years! =p)

Something tells me that Mother 3's getting an announcement for the 3DS Virtual Console sometime this year, just to keep with the anniversary theme.

The ArrrPG - A game I made about being a pirate. This be a first draft, matey! Though it plays just fine, clap yer eyes on th' eventual Revised an' Expanded Edition and you'll be pleased, by thunder!

Nakama: A Card Game of Magical Girls - A completely un-playtested card game about being a magical girl.

Well, excuse me while I defy all laws of logic and common sense and do it anyway.

It is cool to see the first game in the series come to the states, finally. I have a reproduction cart but I may buy this anyway just because I'm a fan of the series and want to support this. Would be great to see Mother 3 sometime as well, especially with Lucas returning to Smash, though I'm willing to admit I hope it's not on DS as I don't have a DS and don't really want one. However, it seems Nintendo remains tone-deaf and oblivious to the amiibo stock issues, as they announced even more to go with new Smash characters after the awful situation with wave 4 (Nintendo, I just want Ness. But I want to pay YOU for it, not a scalper or importer, m'kay? Maybe make an announcement about amiibo reprints to reassure fans who want a rare one but don't want to pay a reseller?)

I do hope to see The Last Guardian for the first time in ages.

Edit: About an hour after I wrote this post, I found this article confirming rare amiibo reprints, so Nintendo seems to have acknowledged the problem after all. It would still be good for them to make an announcement at E3 though.

Welp, this is a thing that's happening.

Yep. And you know that it's going to be using the Complication of FF7 personalities for Cloud, Aeristh, and Tifa (total mopey angsty loser which he wasn't at all in the actual game for Cloud; TOTAL SWEETNESS PERSONIFIED and awesome tomboy girl respectively for Aerhead and Tifa, which is LITERALLY the exact opposite in FF7.)

.....I think this is just getting made for people who never actually played the original Final Fantasy VII. =/
