The fandom also spun-out other enterprises. When Nintendo did not release a localized version of "Mother 3", fans organized their own fan translation. The video game merchandising business Fangamer grew out of the Starmen.net community, and sells video game-related items online.

While series creator, Shigesato Itoi has stated that he is finished with the series, a fan-created spiritual sequel, "Oddity", began development in 2010.
