Shigesato Itoi’s 1101 website has revealed a new line of EarthBound-themed stationery, scheduled to go on sale September 1, 2026.
The drop centers on functional, character-driven designs that draw on the Mother/EarthBound series iconography — including Mr. Saturn, Ness, Paula and Jeff — and includes two sizes of 2027 whiteboard calendars, a Mr. Saturn mini-notebook, and two sizes of Dungeon Man notebooks.
Background and context
The Mother series, known outside Japan as EarthBound (Mother 2) and followed by Mother 3, was created by writer and designer Shigesato Itoi and has remained a touchstone for Nintendo fans since its Super Nintendo era releases.
While fans continue to await any new entry in the series, Itoi’s 1101 operation has periodically produced official merchandise and collaborations that celebrate the franchise’s distinctive aesthetic.
What 1101 announced
- Release date: September 1, 2026.
- Product lineup: two differently sized 2027 whiteboard calendars, a Mr. Saturn mini-notebook, and two differently sized Dungeon Man notebooks.
- Product previews: 1101’s preview pages show sample monthly layouts for the whiteboards, interior shots of the Mr. Saturn planner, and photographs featuring small Mr. Saturn figures posed with the planner.
Journalistic paraphrase of notable statements
Peter Glagowski, reporting on the reveal, said he appreciated the whiteboards’ simple design and called the Dungeon Man notebook especially appealing; he also highlighted the planner’s fabric cover and refillable paper, noting that the refill option extends the item’s usable life.
Design and fan response
The revealed pieces emphasize a subdued, approachable aesthetic consistent with the Mother series’ long-standing visual tone.
The Mr. Saturn imagery and the Dungeon Man motif are faithful callbacks to characters and motifs longtime fans recognize from the SNES-era EarthBound and its cult following on Nintendo platforms.
Availability and where to buy
1101’s official site is the primary source for the announced items; the product pages include gallery previews and purchase details ahead of the September 1, 2026 launch.
For collectors tracking Mother-series merchandise and official releases tied to Shigesato Itoi, this stationery drop represents the next notable offering from 1101.
