He is also known as the person who thought up the name Game Boy. You can see the full interview in which this topic is discussed below.Shigesato Itoi is a famous Japanese copywriter and essayist, though he is best known outside of Japan as a game designer for his work on Nintendo's EarthBound series of games, as well as his bass fishing video game. Itoi even suggested to Fox that he should make Undertale 2! It was this interaction that helped Fox to realize that no one but Itoi himself could/should bring about a sequel to Earthbound, so Fox decided to keep the question to himself.
The thing is, Fox never got around to asking Itoi about a sequel.įox said that Itoi seemed very happy with the success of Earthbound-inspired games, such as Undertale. Fox even said that he would be willing to help make such a project happen in any way he could. Fox just wanted to know if Itoi would be interested in seeing a sequel, be it from Itoi himself or through fans. In a new interview (seen below), we learn that Fox originally had plans on asking Itoi about a new Mother game. His newfound recognition opened all sorts of doors for him, including the chance to meet up with Shigesato Itoi, the creator of Earthbound.
Since releasing Undertale and parts of Deltarune, Fox has shot to stardom in the gaming industry. Simply put, without Earthbound, Undertale probably wouldn’t have come about! It’s pretty obvious to Earthbound players just how much of an inspiration that game was for Fox, and Fox has been very upfront about the connections as well. Toby Fox is the creator of Undertale, but he got his start making hacks of Earthbound.
