Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back continues to receive regular merchandise releases. The second Ichiban Kuji lottery launches June 6, 2026, and the 2027 Hobonichi Techo editions arrive September 1.
The Super Famicom game Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back remains a steady merchandising presence in 2026. Bandai Spirits will run the second Ichiban Kuji lottery for the game starting June 6, with advance sales beginning June 4 at the Living Enjoyment Exhibition in Shinjuku. The top prize is a room light shaped like Mr. Saturn's house that glows softly, followed by a "Really Usable Present Box" modeled after an in-game item. The lineup also includes a town souvenir glass mug, a store lunch bag with a receipt sticker, a window name marker, health companion items with hospital and power-up designs, rubber items, and stationery. The last one prize, given to the person who draws the final ticket, is a huggable Mr. Saturn plushie about 30 cm tall with side openings for the hands. A double chance campaign offers a full set of C prizes by lottery, and each play costs 790 yen including tax. The lottery will be available at Lawson, Nintendo TOKYO, Nintendo OSAKA, Nintendo KYOTO, Nintendo FUKUOKA, and other retailers.
This second lottery follows the first Mother 2 Ichiban Kuji, released in November 2024 for the 30th anniversary, which sold out quickly. The new wave arrives about a year and a half later, indicating sustained demand for Mother 2 merchandise despite the game's age. Separately, Hobonichi will release the 2027 edition of the Hobonichi Techo and Whiteboard Calendar featuring Mother 2 on September 1 at 11:00 AM. The MOTHER edition of the Techo marks its 13th year since the 2015 edition. The cover uses Dungeon Man as a design motif with embroidered details, a Mr. Saturn pattern appears on the Weeks type, and a Hint Shop Graph Paper Notebook comes as a bonus. The two releases together show that Mother 2 merchandise continues across both lottery and planner formats.
