@xianc78 lol why the fuck would toby fox care he lives in japan
this is definitely a joke anyway, "if you're one of the 5 deltacordians old enough to vote" lmao
@beardalaxy Joke or not, Sakurai better not pass the Super Smash Bros torch to him.
@xianc78 is that even up for debate? i don't think he'd do that. toby fox doesn't really have what it takes and i think he realizes that too. he's not a fighting game director. he makes funny little RPGs.
@beardalaxy Well Sakurai did pass the torch of his column on Famitsu to him. It seems like Toby Fox is now his closest friend in the industry since Iwata passed away.
He's also friends with Itoi as well. A lot of people don't realize this, but Toby Fox actually asked Itoi if he could make Mother 4. Itoi told him to make Deltarune first, so we might actually see an official Mother 4 one day, and I honestly rather not. Some series were made to be short. Mother is definitely one of them.
@xianc78 yeah, a column isn't quite the same as a specific game though. i think sakurai is aware enough to know what toby is good at. i wish itoi was still making games.
does mother 3 have anything to do with mother 2 at all other than like, the gameplay? i haven't played it but it seems pretty far removed in terms of story.
mother 4 came out in 2015 already. winter 2015 to be exact! ;)
@xianc78 i seem to remember something about mother 1 having some version of giygas that's more like humanoid? idk i've never actually played the games.
oddity does look awesome... there's just been so much shit with that game, i don't think it's ever coming out honestly. silksong will come out before we hear anything else about it.
@xianc78 oh yeah i saw that one, it's got some really good music too
@beardalaxy Mother 1 talked about Giygas's backstory, being an alien raised by humans and his adoptive father experimenting on him which gave him a negative view on humanity.
>oddity does look awesome... there's just been so much shit with that game, i don't think it's ever coming out honestly.
Early builds of the game were leaked just a few years ago. It probably demoralized him.
There is also another Mother 4 being developed. This one is being developed using Love2D which might mean it has a better chance of coming out.
