The Nintendo GameCube's only Mother related content was Super Smash Bros. Melee. Ness was once again playable. He was intended to be replaced by Lucas, but that fell through due to Mother 3's release being pushed back. In 2007, Nintendo unveiled the Wii, known as the Revolution at the time. It featured Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a killer app, which featured Ness and Lucas as playable characters, several Earthbound related stages and items, and Porky Minch as a boss in the story mode. During the WiiU's lifespan, Nintendo started to revive the Earthbound franchise via their virtual console services.
