They also have can badges featuring allies and enemies from the MOTHER series, various acrylic keychains, and a pair of brass brooches of the ‘clumsy robot’ Yudan Robo and the Beautiful (Kikubari) UFO. They describe these as commemorative hotel and town souvenirs. There are six hotels represented, including the four number-themed towns: Onett, Twoson, Threed, and Fourside. The most clever of these items are probably the hotel key rings and stickers based on the hotels and towns in the game. Other items are new runs of older items that will now be back in stock.

But if you couldn’t make it to Shibuya or Osaka for whatever reason, these items will be available online starting on 26 January. Some of these products were already available at the pop-up shops for the MOTHER Words & Stories Exhibition in Osaka and Shibuya PARCO in December.

This year, they are continuing down the same RPG path, making and reproducing clever EarthBound ‘souvenirs’ and other items. Last year, this offshoot of Itoi’s Hobonichi lifestyle brand started making various MOTHER and EarthBound tie-in products. Shigesato Itoi’s HOBONICHI MOTHER PROJECT is back at it again.
