Dear Reid:

Hello! Its great to hear from such an enthusiastic gamester and webmaster, to boot! I welcome this opportunity to be of assistance.

In your letter, you told us how disappointed you were because we have cancelled the sequel to EarthBound. You wanted to know if we would reconsider and make it for Game Boy Advance or NINTENDO GAMECUBE. At this time, we haven't announced any plans to do so.

Nintendo has a number of development teams that are always busy working on games. However, we usually announce games only at large industry trade shows. That's when we display the titles we'll be releasing over the following months. There is always speculation about what we may be working on, but we don't give out any information about titles before they are officially announced.

I wanted to let you know that the envelope artwork you sent was very impressive! I really enjoyed your drawing of EarthBound characters.

Your terrific artwork has been forwarded to our Publications Despartment for review. Please note that as we receive tons of mail from fantastic artists like you each day, I cannot promise that your artwork will appear in Nintendo Power's Envelope Artwork Showcase. Even if your artwork isn't selected to appear in the Envelope Artwork Showcase, it can still be enjoyed by many. We're using the great artwork we recieve to make cool displays all around Nintendo's Headquarters. Thanks for your excellent contribution!
