1up.com's MOTHER 3 Review & Starmen.Net Teasing

[JusticeGamingNetwork]

Did he really say "bop you head like a retard"? That's.... just wrong.

[thefaff999]

4 years. 4 freaking years the U.S. Has been asking and it's still not here no matter how much the starmen.net people have attacked them

[TheEmovampireprince]

hope this goes on the 3ds virtual console for gba

[beavus1000]

@blackbirdvenom137 sure :D thanks xD

[beavus1000]

can somebody tell me how to "RUN" in the game..? i have "game boy advance emulator" on my pc and i really can't find any of the battons wich seem to simply run the caracter(s) faster. (also sorry for bad english) the game is great i subscribed

[Eyewetawdid]

lol, "You don't want to mess with the starmen.net people, they're a pose"

[dcent2]

It would be going to virtual console. Its not going to fucking Gamestop. Stop worrying about who would buy it and give over a few million people what they obviously want.

Holy shit.

[mudkipmagic37]

@dcent2 actually it's not going to virtual console but if u have a emulater you can play it using the fan translation also chuggaaconroy explains why its not on virtual console in his lat partever of it

[dcent2]

@mudkipmagic37 I know but I meant that it would sooner go to virtual console than gamestop

[cosmicluigi9000]

WOW I just noticed they probobly hacked the game.

1.flint duster and boney fighting the first boss (its normaly only flint)

2.when fighting the night duster was making salsa sounds

[mudkipmagic37]

@cosmicluigi9000 actualy they do fight with boney and duster watch chuggaaconroys lp of it

[Aero0Gamer45]

Dang,wish I could somehow turn the cart into English. Got the m3ft,but it'd still feel good to have the actual game

[askmiller]

@Aero0Gamer45 you probably can with the right software and hardware. although I know 2 things.

1. it will be expensive and difficult and u risk breaking the game.

2. if you get it to work, you could sell it for a lot of money.

[lolfreak21196]

JUST GIVE IT TO US ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheFoxshot]

I think this is why nintendo has so many pirating issues because they are too ignorant to release what the fans really want so they end up downloading illegal roms and emulators.

[Wolfin44]

I actually believe this game is too great to be played on a small screen. Use an emulator and play it on a tv or something!

[Garrador]

@Wolfin44 very true. i played it using a gba emulator on wii. great

[mugenlordftw]

bobbing your head like a retard is what I do.

[buhgzy]

damn it i want to play mother 3. i remember when i first bought earthbound when i was a kid. i was sold when i saw that BIG box

[dylstew]

get a GBA emulator(like visualboy advance) and google the mother 3 fan translation.. download that...

[evans126ify]

so want it

[d11525]

This game would have been a great addition to the Wii and DS line up. This may sound gimmicky but at least if it were on Wii, one could hit combos by just waggling the remote and if it were on the DS gamers could just tap the screen with their stylus to perform combos.

[tarkeke]

what the hell is wrong with nintendo!!! WE WANT MOTHER 3.

geez, ah well, the translation is plain awesome and so are the people who actually managed to do so

[d11525]

agreed, mother 3 is pretty awesome. Unfortunately, the rom version has some problems with its frame rate, making it really nearly impossible to execute combos.

[tarkeke]

really? for my part it worked just fine though.

[DTY16]

not if you have a decent PC.

Hell, i could do it perfectly on my Windows 98

[KingN641994]

yah they send out Sin and punishment 64 on the Wii shop but not Mother 3 WTF.

[ponyseizure]

BEST GAME EVER.

Silent and listen are built up with the same letters.

Claus and Lucas are as well.

[X0xplanetkillerx0X]

If only Shin Bokura no Taiyou got as much attention as Mother 3...

[MajorCola]

It's called the fan translation... w00t! :D

[IAMCARBONDOG]

well i know but i want to play mother 3 on the road and nintendo had nothing to do with the translation -.- o well =-)

[pokechatter]

Salsa the monkey never battles dung beetles. does he?

[Daandude1]

Yes he does. Well actually Fassad attacks mostly because Salsa is so weak.

[pokechatter]

that's only if you don't care. sometimes Fassad doesn't do anything. most of the time.

[FlipJick]

I did. Lizards, too.

[seanileus]

I hate these guys because of this review.

[handsmdead]

earthbound,chrono trigger aww yeah! earthbound is my fav game of all time

[PKZoot]

blood lust wth im no twilighter >:I

[zaciroth]

Brownie brown is the best WOOT

[SHYKOOPA]

You hate Mr. Saturn? Boing?

Kaaay-o, enough. Mr. Saturn kill you tomorrow zoooom

[dudetazerd]

tripped down

killed man

job done

[Beefforyou]

@SHYKOOPA Mr. Saturns are my favorite misc. characters.

[nowitski2]

@SHYKOOPA Dakota.

[1xCloudStrifex1]

@SHYKOOPA DAKOTA!

[zedrein18]

I always thought it was funny that the best and most dedicated MOTHER site is located in America, and not Japan where the game is supposedly so much more popular.

[saltboy1212]

lol boney's name is poopy XD

[hokageninja9090]

can someone please tell me how to do combo attacks in mother 3? im on a hard boss battle.

[EnderTXenocide]

follow the bass line, if that doesnt work, cast sleep and follow the beat you can hear

[ginD4]

MOTHER 3 FOR BLOOD!! 0_0

nah just kidding but I really wish that nintendo would try to let RPG fans ezplore mother

[1AndrewTheWolf]

FUCK YA!

[1AndrewTheWolf]

Mother 1 and 2 uninteresting?! Fuck you!

[LentFilms]

WOOOT!

[LentFilms]

Fan translation is coming SOON!

[megamike15]

it came out yesterday.

[lukaspukas1]

How snarky can this Jeremy Parrish be?! "Bop your head like a retard", that's just not a cool thing to say.

[Lynch256]

i tried boppin my head like a retard to the battle song "fate" now im in a neck brace.

[SuperSenshi]

Japan needs to stop teasing everyone else. SEND THE GAME HERE! I want to play, too! (and actually understand what I am reading)

[megamike15]

it's not japan's fault it's nintendo of america.

[SuperSenshi]

Oh yeah, that is SO true!

[MrSaturn33]

Where I live, people are crusified for hating Mr. Saturns. He shall burn in hell!!!

[Dadevster2]

...poopy?

[piratapequeno]

You mean you haven't seen any hippies running around attacking chrildren? What part of America do you live in?

[soul1112]

Really?They do?

[magicidiot12345]

I just started playing an earthbound ROM so I really hope this comes to North America.

[Bonehimer]

I hate you nintendo :<

[zerobrockman]

yea don't mess wit us!

[xUdieToox]

he compares earthbound to dragon warrior- what a faggot.

[Fireouch]

Well it is the same type of game.

[GamebirdSP]

The mother series was actually made from the hatred of Dragon warrior. Or atleast thats what I hear.

[zweihander2000]

If that was true it wouldn't have a battle system based off of it. All the other aspects would mock DW, but not the actual GAMEPLAY...

[Fireouch]

The creator of the "Mother" liked to play the "Dragon Warrior" games and they inspired him to come up with his own idea for an RPG, and that's how it happened.

[Fireouch]

The creator of the "Mother" liked to play the "Dragon Warrior" games and they inspired him to come up with his own idea for an RPG, and that's how it happened.

[THEGREATMAX]

It uses the same type of battle system, except Earthbound has the scrolling HP meter... Seriously thought, Earthbound Zero was created as a Dragon Warrior clone, which turned out better than DQ/DW, because it was different.

[Fireouch]

Well different doesn't necessarily mean better. I mean "Earthbound" was great because it was so unique, but consider when "Dragon Quest" first came out it was also different.

[jamesharvey]

Right but Dragon Quest used the familiar tropes of Dungeons and Dragons-style fantasy, while Mother was set squarely in a version of our own world. You can even buy hamburgers and orange juice!

[Fireouch]

They were each unique for different reasons. "Dragon Quest" adapted RPG gameplay for home consoles and essentially created the Japanese-style RPG, while "Mother" was unique for its humorous interpretation of what stereotypes RPGs had founded.

[Nawap24]

Thanks anyway, but i already got it and beat the game! :)

[Nawap24]

Does anyone know where i can find a Mother 3 ROM for the visual boy advance?

[lishakara]

Just google mother 3 ROM .___.; I found several free download sites

[Nawap24]

Thanks, but you're four months late :P I've already beaten the game...twice. I thought it was awesome, though I still like EarthBound better.

[emerfire]

I decided I would search 'Jeremy Parish' (because its my real name), and this came up...someone kill me...

[mitssymitssygirl]

why do you want to die

[emerfire]

I dont want to die...its was a joke :) Saw your myspace btw...I play guitar as well...

[DanielSmith604]

You should feel lucky your name isn't John Smith. XD

[emerfire]

HA! Word...

[SkyMaro]

Or Hilary Clinton.

[TCresci]

Wow. Those guys are really stupid.

[HuskyWashu]

It was kind of tacky how they named Duster and Boney "Frick" and "Poopy". But eh, what're ya gonna do...

[SpitballSparky]

This was boring. Listening to people talk about sprites...ugh. Anyway, who are these people?

[NessAndLucied]

And you call yourself a Mother 3 fan.

[SpitballSparky]

I do. I love Mother/Earthbound. However, this video was boring. The game itself is wondeful, easily the best the GameBoy Advance has to offer. If you haven't played it yet, I suggest you do so. If you have, then congrats! ^_^

[Cheeseandblood]

Guy's disappointed, then...

And so am I...

[PetShopWaffle]

Good conversation

[laesperanzapaz]

parish hates Smash Bros. and DOnkey Kong COuntry.

im just saying...

[asquii]

He does have certain bad taste. Yes.

Tho' I don't think he hates Donkey Kong Country. I think he blames it for somehow retarding the development of platformers, and making RARE so big.

What he really hated was Banjo and Kazooie, and Donkey Kong 64.

[realar]

Again his taste is terrible, Banjo and Kazooie was and is a classic i'm still pissed that Nintendo didnt do A THING to get Rare yet they get Monolith which did TRON 2.0 (i'm a huge tron fan well not collecting). Smash Bros, Parish you are an idiot!

[THEGREATMAX]

He hated the fact that you couldn't get any permanent power-ups in those games... And he also hated that you were randomly searching for things that didn't actually HELP you.

It's a pity that he later made the Mario games like that, I miss my big mushrooms and fireflowers.

[ozwalled2007]

"Bop your head like a retard"? XD

[R0cc06669]

Unintentional comedic gold!

[factorx1112001]

That was SO not Politically Correct!

[THEGREATMAX]

Yeah, that's why it was funny... we won't be able to have funny things like that, if people like you keep bitching about them...

We can never have nice things. :(
