A while back, some fans of Earthbound and Mother 3 wanted to make an unofficial sequel called Mother 4. Nintendo shut down this fan project for copyright infringement and the fangame seemed dead. However, the team released this trailer in January 2020 and rebranded the game as Oddity.
As far as anyone knows, no legal action actually came down from Nintendo, though the decision to change was likely most motivated by the threat of their involvement. Plus, it got people to shut the fuck up about the name, which was 90% of the discourse. I do hope these guys end up finishing their project. I think what they've shown looks good, at this point it just comes down to how decent the writing ends up and whether or not they actually finish.

Why would anyone discuss about the name?

>Nintendo shut down this fan project for copyright infringement No they didn't. The devs realised they couldn't monetise it and changed the title.
Jackson Smith
At least the game keeps the tradition of Mother protagonists showing some skin.
Oh wow so the devs took like 6 years to realize that they were so far up their asses for calling it mother4?
Nicholas Morgan
literally everyone hated them calling it Mother 4, EVERYONE Fuck them and fuck you. Choke on a dick.
Cooper Butler
Damn why ness so thick?
Parker Miller
Nintentrannies crying that fans were DARING to call it Mother 4, even though Itoi said he thinks fans should make Mother 4 when asked about it.

Who is this everyone? I remember nothing but praise when this was announced.
Jace Hall
He's from not-america, of course he's going to be chubby. Multiple NPCs make fun of him for being overweight.
Julian Wood
There better not be any gay or tranny shit in this game. Does anyone know if there will be any? Also I hope it isn't sexual or too vulgar because my little sister plays mother and she wants to play this game
Landon Collins
>make fun of him for being overweight I don't remember but based if true
Brayden Long
If this actually comes out I'll fucking play it. It seems nice
Brandon Wright
nintendo didn't shut off shit. These niggers were supposed to release way back in 2014 but after AM2R was C&D they used the excuse to delay and ended rebranding to try and get some pitybucks through patreon and shit
Nolan Gomez
There's literally multiple tranny characters AND faggots in Mother 3
Me. It's an insult to the series. Calling your game a sequel implies that you either made the previous games or have permission to make the sequel. Instead they were using it because they fellate their own dicks so much that they think it's worthy of being called Mother 4. It's disgusting.

>Who is this everyone? I remember nothing but praise when this was announced. zoomer confirmed This shit was started in 2010, and we had a shitload of threads calling them on their bullshit for calling it mother 4. The project has been abandoned and restarted so many times that by 2017 they decided to change the name to something like Mother with a subtitle.
Matthew Phillips
Yea but my little sister already drew them dead
Jonathan Cook
>not canon Eat shit, fag lover. Mother is for STRAIGHT WHITE PEOPLE!!!!!
Jeremiah Campbell
Meant for
Gabriel Mitchell
>Nintendo shut down this fan project for copyright infringement and the fangame seemed dead. Incorrect, they rebranded out of fear of that happening after seeing Nintendo go full retard with taking down other shit like the Metroid 2 remake.
Matthew Moore
They don't have a patreon
Elijah Watson
Zig Forums is so fucking full of shit
Anthony Morgan
Guys, this thread is fucking awful, I'm killing myself now
