Joystiq put a little skip in my step and a happy bumblebee in my tummy with the announcement that there's a fairly believable rumor floating around about Mother (aka Earthbound) and the DS:

There are three games in the Mother trilogy — Earthbound is technically Mother 2 — so the compilation could include the first two titles, the latest two titles (Mother 3 was released in Japan for GBA earlier this year), or all three titles. So far, only Earthbound has been released in the US.

And many of us have only Earthbound it on emulation, I'd venture. I was utterly charmed when I did, despite my general dislike of menu-based RPGs. I will keep a little hope alive that this rumor comes to fruition. Eliza gauger
