EarthBound Beginnings Brings Mother to Wii U
During the Nintendo World Championships 2015, Nintendo announced EarthBound Beginnings, a localized port of the original Mother, for Wii U Virtual Console.
The game will be available for download on the Nintendo eShop tonight at 6pm PT. While you patiently wait for it to launch, take a look at some gameplay footage in the announcement trailer below.
For those who don't know, Mother is the predecessor to EarthBound (or Mother 2 as it's known in Japan) and released on the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in 1989. While the game was localized into English, it never was actually released in North America.
Nintendo is set to hold its E3 Digital Event on Tuesday, so be sure to stay tuned to IGN for more exciting announcements from the house of Mario.

The Batman Beyond Movie That Never Was
Earlier this week, I got a chance to speak with filmmaker Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans) about his upcoming movie Max, and also asked him a few question about the live-action Batman Beyond movie -- a project he was briefly attached to direct before it died in development at Warner Bros. in the lead-up up to Batman Begins.
"I had just made Remember the Titans," he told me, "and my inclination is to always go off a trend: make an independent film after I make a studio film. I spoke to my agent, and he said, 'I think you need to do another studio movie before you do that.' I was just basically like, 'Well, if I'm going to do a studio movie, like, I want it to be Batman' -- which at the time I just meant, if I'm going to do a studio movie, I want it to be a big ol' thing."
