Shigesato Itoi: What Mother means to me

With the release of Mother 2 on the WiiU virtual console, Nintendo of Japan has published a really great piece titled: "What Mother means to me", written by series creator Shigesato Itoi.

There's a translated version on Siliconera.

Itoi describes the thoughts and feelings he had while creating the game which, in my opinion, very clearly indicate why it's no fluke that Earthbound means so much to anyone that has played it.

And if you haven't played it yet, you really should.
