Nintendo getting Undetale on the Wii U/3DS would be pretty huge for them, I'd buy it on day 1 if it did happen.
...are you the second account of the "60 fps" avatar guy?

The fuck? This shit's getting ridiculous now. But if it's a parody post you got me good!

Didn't Toby say a port to console would require completely rewriting the game code, so it wasn't that likely?
It was more like he desired to port to a Nintendo console but gamemaker dont have any easy way to port it like with sony/ms system.
Probably trying not to tangle personal twitter with work. It already did what it needed to do, which was start a conversation.

This would never happen but how freaking crazy would it be if he got an offer to write it. Holy shit.
The crazy thing is? Undertale good such a good job of being an EarthBound game that I can actually see Itoi considering this.

I'd fork over a few bones for that.

Yes Undertale Amiibos please. Well, give us the game first, then we can get the Amiibos. I'll buy them all if they came out.
But what would they actually do? In game I mean.

Who cares. I'll buy them anyway.
Yeah, I know about the official figurines, but it's not the same! (It's pretty much the same)
Wait a sec...
What if this has something to do with the Mother 3 port? Like, maybe the US version might have a post-credits epilogue
It's unlikely. But it'd be hella satisfying.

showing off Mt. Itoi in the original universe as the universe is reset. Post-reset, we see the same mountain as a certain green-shirted kid approaches.
It's unlikely. But it'd be hella satisfying.
It'd be "hella satisfying" to have Undertale pointlessly shoved into the lore of a series that is completely unrelated? Really?

Undertale essentially is Mother 4 already. I actually suspect Radiation will want to do something much different next time.

Imagine Sans and Papyrus amiibos. They would sell so many of those.
Between 1 and 1 million.
Link travels to Lake Hylia and boom, Undyne is there.
Mario hits a ? Block, and Flowey pops out.
Samus searches for Ridley... in Hotland.
There are so many possibilities.
I personally find the very ending of Mother 3 a bit unsatisfying, and this'd be like a passing of the torch of sorts (I know Itoi said he wouldn't mind seeing a Mother 4 not made by him, but I don't expect an actual 4th Mother. Meanwhile, Undertale's a worthy spiritual successor to the franchise). Personally, I think that'd be a nice, subtle nod that'd be nicer than
just ending the game with literally nothing

I get that Undertale has some stylistic and thematic similarities to EarthBound, but people really need to stop acting like Undertale is some kind or spiritual successor to the EarthBound series. Most of the similarities are pretty superficial.
..Undertale runs at 30 FPS. It would be nice if it was upgraded to run at >= 60FPS so walking around felt more like Earthbound or whatever. Not sure why everyone flipped out.

weird that it runs at 30
Game Maker defaults to 30FPS and a lot of GM games are made by amateurs who don't think or even know to adjust the framerate until it's too late.

Undertale would be wicked on the Wii U. Typing could be done on the GamePad too.
As for the spoiler moment that everyone's talking about:
As for the spoiler moment that everyone's talking about:
The game doesn't exactly crash. It simply quits. All the game has to do when the moment occurs is quit to the home menu... that's it. When the player opens Undertale again, the game resumes as normal.

The bones would be rolling in so fast.
They're the only two I really need.
Wait, no. I also want Alphys and Undyne and Mettaton EX.

Undertale Amiibos incoming.

The issue isn't technical, it's that doing stuff like that would typically make your game fail certification.

Annoying Dog deserves it the most imo.
That's definitely true. But if Nintendo themselves are contacting Fox (Or at least, an employee), my guess is that they'd work on a port with him and let some of this stuff slide/find an equally-good alternative.
