What do you Predict will be the Consequences of putting Earthbound on Nintendo Switch Online?

[Zheyno]

By exposing Earthbound Beginnings and Earthbound to Millions of Gamers with easy access through Nintendo Switch Online, what do you predict will be consequences of this action?

-Will the call for Mother 3 Localization be louder?
-Will there be an upsurge of fans?
-Will there an upsurge of fanworks?
-Will this lead to corporate interest in rebooting the series?
-Etc.?

i fear the day that giygas fangirls become a thing.

I've seen many questionable fanart of Giegue/Giygas, so fangirls probably already exist.

I think this would at minumum encourage nintendo to keep allowing us to get legal copies of retro games. I don't really think it will affect Mother 3's fate.

I have been noticing an uptick of Earthbound fan art, since the release on the Earthbound on Nintendo Online, on what are traditionally online Anime communities, but not something I would consider as a general trend.

Perhaps there is a growing demand for an Earthbound with Japanese Otaku characteristics, but take it as you will.
