The Australian classification for Shin Megami Tensei V has been released and there’s an interesting tidbit about online listed in the consumer advice. As seen below, the consumer advice section of the classification gives the warning of “online interactivity,” typically meaning that there is an online element to the game that is not rated by the ratings board.
What exactly this comment is referring to is not detailed in the classification, but it’s possible that it hints at some sort of online functionality in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse had a feature to share online content over Street Pass, so perhaps the game will attempt something similar using interconnectivity between Switches. Whatever it is, only time will tell and hopefully Atlus will detail this feature soon.

It was also planned as a 3D title at one point as EarthBound 64 for the N64 before being scrapped. Mother 3 did ultimately release as a 2D game on the Game Boy Advance, but it has never received English localization.
A couple of years ago, we did receive a new look at EarthBound 64 thanks to a video taken at SpaceWorld 1996.
Zen64 has now managed to obtain the Nintendo Company Report 1998 via an auction, which contains more footage from the game. This ties in with SpaceWorld 1997.
