Mother 3

I downloaded a ROM just to get a feel for the game. The music is really good, and judging from the beginning, once they translate it (I believe Nintendo will given how big a phenomenon it is in Japan) it's going to be a gas!

That the 360 sucked ass in Japan in not pertaining to whether they'll release a game over here, so keep your pessimism out

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Huzzah! 1 out of 9 ain't bad!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But your logic is flawed. They brought the 360 from America to Japan. THEN it failed.

Mother 1+2 wasn't more wanted than Metal Gear Solid 4 before it came out, so I don't understand the comparison

I'm not getting pissy because you're not giving me my candy. I'm getting pissy because your claims are totally unbased. I also believe that since they brought Mother 2 over here when it was a hit in Japan gives us more reason to be optimistic than pessimistic

And I won't have a nervous breakdown if it doesn't. I'll learn Japanese

I cannot deny that; however, Mother is no less than a phenomenon, and it is no mere horse racing game or dating sim

It is a cult phenomenon in the US. Assuming they bring it over, I'm sure they'd run a better marketing campaign.

I'm pretty sure they'll bring Mother 3 over given that it's to be successful in Japan. Interest over here is definitely striking, as well. Again, I'm pretty sure they'll bring that, and I also believe they'll bring Mother 1+2, but that's a bit more wishful.

Sonic, evoking "Gamefaqs argument, lol" won't validate your points.

Consider this, they took the XBox to Japan. It failed. The XBox 360 develops huge hype over here. They take it to Japan. That's the stage we're at here. Sonic, your parallel makes no sense because they haven't brought Mother 3 here, and it hasn't failed. I get your stupid point that a game can fail. That's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that the failure of the 360 doesn't mean ANYTHING to Mother 3. If anything, the parallels between the 2 generations should create greater optimism, since Microsoft tried twice. Nintendo only tried once with its Mother series.

Here's a simplification, since you're so used to reading Gamefaqs

XBox=Success in America, failure in Japan
Mother 2= Success in Japan, "failure" in America

XBox 360= Success in America, Failure in Japan
Mother 3= Succes in Japan (most likely), not released in America

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, you should offer an example with more pertinence to the conversation, instead of being a prick about it with useless insults. I'm done with you.


At any rate, Mother 3 is definitely an exciting game. I'm glad I had the willpower not to get the Deluxe Set since so many preorders are just getting filled. I would have loved to get my hands on that Franklin Badge, but it just wasn't worth the 200$ import!

Reidman over at Starmen.net has been leaking info (he's basically a Nintie insider, apparently) that has everybody excited for Mother 3's possible release here. Essentially, we'll have to wait for E3 to find out for sure. I'm just so happy that Itoi's next-in-line has finally come out after so many years

I've been saying over and over this year that the Mother series parallels Dragon Warrior a lot...not the least of which by it battle system.

I read that the game feels designed to skew off in a totally new direction, saying "I liked this and I liked that" from the old series. Given the little bit I played, this feels certainly true.

It's supposed to be pretty heart-wrenching, too. Not that I want it spoiled

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. I have little doubt that they will BRING it over here, and I also have little doubt that it will fail because of the reasons stated here. It would probably be more successful than Mother 2, but overall it won't beat Madden. It's a shame, but that's probably going to be the truth

Hopefully I'm proved wrong on the latter

It'd be in your best interests to play it through. It's a wonderful game

You should actually try the game out. The trial you gave it gives it no justice

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

^_^, that Franklin Badge almost made me buy the deluxe box. Almost

Like, I said "IT'S MINE!"

Thankfully, I came to my senses and realized I just couldn't afford it
