 This ending also features a roll call of most of the cast (which would become standard for the "Mother" series), a new credits sequence, and a post-credits scene where Ninten's father attempts to call him and alert him of something important, acting as a sequel hook.Before its ultimate cancellation in the west, the game was set to be released with an 80-page strategy guide and a separate release of the soundtrack (similarly to the Japanese release) and even received small amounts of advertisement via previews in gaming magazines such as "Nintendo Power".While the finished product never saw an official overseas release as originally intended, it was significant in that it was able to motivate Nintendo to start developing their games with international audiences in mind, sometimes going out of their way to make adjustments to their games prior to localization to make the latter process easier.
