Does the EarthBound Series Have a Future?

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Of all of Nintendo’s franchises, there’s none that has gotten the short end of the stick as much as the EarthBound (or Mother) series. Year in and year out fans of the whimsical RPG franchise anticipate every single E3 conference, Tokyo Game Show and Nintendo Direct in the hopes of… something related to the series making its way to their Nintendo systems and every year and every single time the result is the same; disappointment, anger and circling the next Nintendo event on the calendar and marking it down as ‘the time it finally gets announced.’ Despite this very loyal and vocal set of fans constantly demanding that Nintendo pays attention to the EarthBound series the situation is a bit more complicated than what is the case with many other of Nintendo’s properties leading us to ask – does the series even have a future?"
