Just a minute ago, Itoi posted another Tweet, which translates to:

Concerning the MOTHER revival… I haven’t forgotten about it, of course. Don’t worry, it’s making progress.

Thanks to KingDarian for alerting me!

UPDATE! He’s still talking!

I’ve actually been wanting to play MOTHER too. Running into Belch, taking in the Runaway Five’s shows, getting sick in Moonside, visiting Tenda Village, enjoying the resort life in Summers. And, at the very end… that. I want to spend time doing all that.

Another update! This time he replies to @m0ther3:

@m0ther3 said:

Please hurry and make a new game! I’m (earnestly) looking forward to one!!!!!

And Itoi replied with:

I’m really sorry, but it’s not going to happen. Maybe someone will make it someday.

Another update – I forgot to mention that Itoi retweeted an English tweet directed at him:

You have the full support of Western fans for MOTHER, Itoi-San.

Itoi retweeted this and replied in English with, “Thanks!“
