You know, just in the small chance you HAVEN'T seen this yet...

ohmygodyesplease

By the way, for all those who don't know there now is a fan translation project going for this over at http://www.mother3.org

I was completely thrilled to see this. I simply can not wait.

is there any chance for this game to be translated?

... Do you EVER read threads before posting?

Also, this is a scan of a magazine in Europe. It's also not 100% confirmed. However, if it is released there, no problems for Americans, because we can just import it.

uh yeah, stupid me, I forgot to edit my post after I saw that magazine scan.

anyway, I just hope that this game gonna be translated before GBA meets its death. December 2006? too long I think...

You can still play it on the DS.

I want this game...BAD! I'd still like to see the N64 incarnation of Mother though. That game looked neat.

How big is the fanbase of Mother series? I barely know this game in the SNES golden era. I know it exist after my friend give me a copy of its rom. Cute artwork... modern rpg... but it seems the game doesn't gain too much popularity like other rpg.

This site should tell you more than enough.

Mother 3 is, in all obviousness, Mother 64/Earthbound 64.

Why? There's pretty good odds it's going to be localized anyway, so why are they going to all that trouble? I bet they didn't even wait to hear one way or another. They're just software pirates with thinly veiled motives.

Bullshit. If you actually bothered to read the forums there, they stated the project would be terminated immediately if there was a release confirmation. Ghideon Zhi started working on a patch over at Aeon Genesis too with the same mindset. Just because it's likely a game will come over doesn't mean it will. Fire Emblem kept the ending in foreshadowing the release of Sealed Sword, yet that never got a release and at this point probably never will. This could easily be the same situation.

Huh. I didn't think that the GBA version was actually an adaptation of the cancelled 64DD game.

I can wait for an official translation, though.

I simply can't wait!
