Shigesato Itoi, creator of the Mother/Earthbound series, has recently posted an interesting tweet on his personal Twitter account.

The creator of Mother 3 told his followers he has just played Mother 3, the last game released in Japan in 2006, through the eyes of the player at this time. This is because, “to be frank”, he has never done that in the past, so he wants to look through the player’s perspective.

いまごろだけど、じぶんでプレイヤーとして『MOTHER3』をやってみたくなった。通してやったことないんだよ、正直に言うけど。

We guess it’s never too late for Itoi to play Mother 3 and have a better understanding of how players feel about the game.
