Nope! MOTHER: Encore is a fan made project, and is in no way affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Nintendo of America Inc., Shigesato Itoi, HAL Laboratory, Inc., or any of its subsidiaries or its affiliates! This is a fan game made by the fans, for the fans! It will always remain free because of that.

No, since it's a reimagining, there's different game design philosophies at play. It's extremely difficult, perhaps impossible to reimagine something and keep everything great about the original intact, especially when you aren't the original creator.

If you want a faithful remake, there is MOTHER: Roots, a MOTHER remake that will borrow a lot of code from Encore.

We hope that you accept Encore as being something that compliments the original, not a replacement. Encore's too different to be considered the "MOTHER: definitive edition."

Nope, we're rebalancing the game from the ground up.

It will only be officially available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Since the game will be open source, the community could port the game to other systems! We'll encourage as many fan-ports as possible!

Not really.

No, but he will get a different offensive ability to make up for his lack of PSI attacks. The other party members will have new abilities too, but we don't want to spoil what they are.

Nope, Mother Encore's battle themes were not made with rhythm combos in mind.

No, the game is being developed using Godot and will be released on pc. Besides, Mother 3 rom hacking isn't nearly advanced enough considering Mother Encore's ambition.
