[toonwolflink418]

199X has passed... And I missed this -_-

[DumDum5551]

there is only one game that I hold to be as good as the Mother series. That's Okami, but still... this game has touched my heart at least twice per game.

[oAzREZNoR]

@DumDum5551 Skies of Arcadia, and/or Shenmue

you might like those as well

[xCookieKitx]

My cat likes this song. She gets mad at me if I don't play it again.

[V0ID192]

mother series, the perfection in videogame form, i love it, because it touches my heart, make me believe in hope, peace, harmony, joy and mainly: LOVE

i say if someone doesnt like mother series it just have 2 possobilities: either it doesnt like to read or understand the plot, or its a souless being wandering in our world.

mother series is something that i want to be part of my memories forever and ever.

[ToastMaster623]

Why are there two minutes of silence?

[EXXC0MN]

@ToastMaster623 so you may reflect on the epic and life changing emotions that this piece has instilled upon you. I know, not enough time.

[honestbob456]

2:14 to 2:53 fits mother 1 perfectly as it sounds the 8 original melodies, and has an ancient choir to it, and that it shows where the game revolves around those 8 melodies in order to defeat gigue.

[VampireWarioGiygas]

DAT CHOIR!!

(2:13)

[toaaxxon123]

2:55 - 5:03 .... AND?!

[martooxxx]

let's make it 24 melodies now. the world needs mother 4, itoi.

[ToastMaster623]

@martooxxx technically it's 24 if you count the Theme of Love.

[ReasonForNo]

god this tune, it makes me want to sing the lyrics over and over again, theres something magical about the eight melodies of mother, a soothing tune that has you looking forward, and looking back at the same time. It makes you content with you life, and envious of what it can be.

I love Mother, Thank you Itoi.

[charlydase]

@ReasonForNo yes, hell yes

[Wobuffet3]

calling this perfect is an insult and an understatement that will get you eaten by giygas

[princessZelda089]

@Wobuffet3 Giygas: I...Feel....Hungry......

[kutegurl67]

Looks like Shigesato Itoi has taking Pixar's spot as 'master of tear-jerking'. ;)

[Delfino224]

@kutegurl67 TS3 does a pretty darn good job at that. When everyone held hands in the furnace and were about to go down like that that made me pretty sad. I didn't cry though. My mom cried at the end though XD I was a bit sad too. Never thought it would end that way.

[efphraim1]

The first couple of seconds made me break into tears... and I couldn't stop. It all just hit me. Mother 3 was an amazing game... that's what I realized after listening to this. I came to appreciate that game even more. This track, makes me feel better... whenever I'm feeling down.

[poopybooyah]

it's so beautiful at 2:14

[SalThePiplup]

I am amazed, awed, humbled and brought to tears.

Amazing isn't a strong enough word.

[funzortrolol]

I cried at the beginning. Any questions ?

[charlydase]

2:13

[frankyagernull]

the songs almost sound exactly alike except the difference is what time they pause at certain parts

[XMETALGEARS59X]

oh and here is another thing i love about EarthBound/Mother the series in general I THINK NINTENDO WAS SMOKING CRACK....think about it in EarthBound you're a kid who travels around gets effing pshycokenetic powers you can get over five thousand dollars and theres another kid WHO CAN USE WEAPONS AND A BAZOOKA FOR GODS SAKE I MEAN CMON THEY'RE KIDS rofl but still may be batshit crazy if you take a good look at it but that doesnt mean its not an awesome series! :D

[XMETALGEARS59X]

is this a remix of both versions of the eight melodies and smiles and tears?

[GigaCaptainOlimar]

@XMETALGEARS59X It's the Mother Eight Melodies, the Sound Stone of EarthBound, and the Love Theme of Mother 3.

[emmeg516]

a few minutes ago, my brother called me a fucking idiot, stole my laptop, crtitized me, mocked me, ect. when i heard this, i calmed down... ALOT :D

[YoshiTechnoManMaster]

I Love This Song.It Brings Back Memories Of When My Grandma Was Alive :')

[emmeg516]

@YoshiTechnoManMaster

R.I.P your grandmther

[sonicdsfan1]

This song makes me horny?

[emmeg516]

@sonicdsfan1

...

...

[martooxxx]

@sonicdsfan1

WTF?

[Xarler]

lul giygas n porkey disliked..

[Pizzaleretour]

2 dislikes ? Giygas and Porky, what else ?



[sonicdsfan1]

@Pizzaleretour WEGEE

[richter3456]

The first 5 seconds of this song made me instantly cry. It hit me right there, that's how powerful it was. It reminded me of every tragic event that took place in Mother 3. And it made me realize, how great of a game this is. *Sigh* I love you Mother series!

[Levaxia]

3 dislikes?! H-how ;__;

[sheitruis]

If giygas heard this, he would shrivel up into tiny little blob, and pokeys mom would kill it while mistaking him for a strawberry slime from oshoe castle

[pokeplat]

I...Cried...

[emmeg516]

out of all the changes YT has made, it doesn't have a replay button D:

[314Marvin]

Fuck you regii (watever u his fking name is) Not letting mother 3 come to america....YOU...YOU SICKEN ME........GO BACK TO THE FLAMES OF HELL REGII.........one last message if u see some dead guy who i hate tell him i said FUCK YOUUUUU!'

[chrisharden13]

@314Marvin

Dude calm down, it's not his fault or choice of the matter. He has to go through the rest of the company first.

[314Marvin]

@chrisharden13 uh yea sorry bout that but im a fan of mother and i dont give up on things easily sorry it was sorta a joke

[chrisharden13]

@314Marvin No problem man I love the series too.

[DahlingKittKatt]

No crying until the end my friends

[Cynda315]

Nice joke naming yourself from a Wind Waker boss...

[sellingpens]

2:14-2:53 I think my mind just exploded

[PokeNaruBleach]

Even if some people don't have love by their side, they won't experience the pain of when a person they love dies.... ;_;

There are pros and cons on love...

[Kittypuff2]

♥ Such beautiful music, ♥ ♥ ♥ I love this!!

[poopybooyah]

it's epic chorale time! at 2:14

[MacNastay]

Paula's call was absorbed by the darkness.

[RaffoPhantom]

hell I freaking love the series,and its soundtrack is so fucking good 42/5 stars :,-)

[MightyMidbus]

It all started when an emotionally confused alien came to Earth, and chose the wrong path.

When the alien couldn't control itself anymore, it allowed itself to die and meet his loved ones he had missed.

An abused child was hated and despised everywhere due to influence.

He joined the alien, for they both understood each other and were both lost.

But, in the end, the child grew bitter and paid the ultimate price when he had lost everything...

This is the tale of Giygas and Porky.

[xjcksn]

By the time of 199X, three boys and one girl knew that no matter what, they had to defeat these beings.

Lost or not, they threatened all that was loved.. and love is too great of a thing to give up without fighting.

This being known, Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo set out to save earth.

This is the tale of the Chosen Four.

[Algamyst]

A loving family, torn apart by tragedy.

A peaceful village, ruined by "greed".

A child who refused to grow up, playing his selfish game with the entire world.

This is the tale of a frightened child and his friends, and their quest to make things right again.

This is the tale of Lucas.

Of Duster and Kumatora and Boney.

Of Flint, Salsa, all the others.

A tale of love and betrayal.

This is the tale of Mother 3.

[ShadicoTheHedgehog]

@Algamyst This is the story of the children, who, against all odds, survived the attack against their planet. The melodies that were sung, the smiles and tears that were exchanged, the love that never was....

This is the story of the Earth Bound chosen 12.

This is the story of MOTHER earth.

[PsiGiygas]

@ShadicoTheHedgehog The children... The melodies which were sung by 3... Ninten, Lloyd, and Ana.

The Smiles and Tears that were exchanged by 4, Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo.

The love that never was consisted within Lucas and Claus... and their beloved mother Hinawa, along with Flint.

The other 2, Kumatora and Duster, which helped along the way, and Lucas's companion Boney.

The story of Mother Earth will stay in the chosen 12's minds.... their adventures... their best friends.

[emmeg516]

@PsiGiygas

actually thats 14 if you count hinawa and flint

[FaithLynnGriffin]

@emmeg516 Grr!!! Flint and Hinawa are in love though, AND they are adults, so they aren't the children. :O

[AdamFoley19950]

@xjcksn and Poo.

[flaskhjertako]

@xjcksn then later that world was demolished people came to a set of islands were two mystical twins were born this is the tale of lucas and claus and later when claus goes missing lucas goes on a untaling journey and meets two people that know his pain and with his dog they save the world from a king

[unionofonion]

@xjcksn Facepalm Ninten, Ness and Anna are the ones that started the whole thing to begin with BEFORE the mother 2 timeline.

The tale of the Chosen Four, LOL, give me a break. They had more of a challenge set out for them but that's it.

[Mingaggins]

@unionofonion Have you ever played any Mother game?

Giegue/Giygas was emotionally confused because of the loss of his mother, Maria.

And what are you talking about when you say "Ninten, Ness and Anna?" Did you mean Ninten, Lloyd and Ana?

[HypnotizedByTv]

@MightyMidbus This was the dawn of an epic story...

[unionofonion]

@MightyMidbus An emotionally confused alien came to earth?

What the fuck are you talking about? Did you even play the game?

[shadthekitsune]

There are many of them. the only one I know of smile and tears is:

I haven't lived as long as adults have

I have nothing but my bike and red cap

A smile, a laugh and you in my heart

As well as my baseball bat.

If you have any other one, please share with us =P

[pkcrossing89]

The reason there is 2 minutes of silence is because your probably crying your eyes out and need time to dry your clothes.

[Phoenix507]

Take a melody...

Simple as can be...

Give it some words

and, sweet harmony...

Raise...your...voices,

All day long now

Long grow strong now

Sing a melody of love...

Oh love!~

We hope you enjoyed your time in Mother 3 world. Remember, no crying till the end.

[isyou]

why would you do something like that

and in the classroom of all places

[Dragynn999]

what`s wrong with ya dude?

[Jenlo0]

??? my frind cominted on this not me.

[VelkTheLost]

Jenlo0 it broke my earth bound 1+2 and deletid my fan translated mother 3 I dis own it.

[314Marvin]

@VelkTheLost earth bound 2?

[TheVlacker]

@314Marvin sorry 0 +1 earthbound I cosider #0 #1 sorry for the mix up.

[96Nathan96]

get lost!

[Phoenix507]

I didn't do that because I didn't think everyone knew the words. I did it because I wanted to.

[AirplaneBandit]

This is the greatest and most beautiful song in the world.

[Airking4321]

What if we all sang this 11 times to Reggie?

[noeyedeer2jk89sx]

He would still be a stubborn ass and tell us to go play more Mario games :P

[shadthekitsune]

maybe 11 times isn't enough... but I'm sure that if we keept playing this same song over and over for about a month he would change his mind...

[smashmaniac2008]

The Mother series is the best series in the WORLD!!! seriously no series is better. you have to be a totally nimrod with no heart or soul to not like the mother series.

[noeyedeer2jk89sx]

*cough* Lawyers *cough*

[smashmaniac2008]

lol.

[PsiGiygas]

@smashmaniac2008 That includes Reggie T_T That heartless fool, stopping Mother and it's greatness to come to the shores of America!

[Oathblivion]

I heard this has been put up on iTunes, but I can't find it. Any direct link I click says it's not available in the U.S. store. Have they taken it down?

[gamerlayne]

Hmmm. Well I was able to buy it. Type Mother 3 + in the search bar. I'll check for myself too.

[gamerlayne]

Nope it appears they have taken it down. Which is sad. I haven't been this pissed with iTunes since they took down the MGS4 soundtrack.

[WulfMonkey543]

megaupload (.) com

/?d=1RQZ7P6C

Mother 3+ Soundtrack Because sharing is caring, bro.

[Oathblivion]

Thanks man. Ordinarily I hate to download soundtracks like this, but I'm feeling particularly spiteful towards iTunes now. *downloads without second thought* =)

[WulfMonkey543]

No prob

[Fireblaze175]

2:14 makes me shiver a little bit.

Gosh I love this song.

*ker-download*

[Waluiginumberone]

I have to get Mother 3+

[lopolo42]

I still hold this as one of the most beautiful compositions I've ever heard.

[chosentonessournotes]

Gosh, I couldn't agree more...

[pkcrossing89]

Why is their a minute or so of silence?

[nkosi30]

Was it me or did Reggie look racist?

[siriuslunar]

The last repeat of the original 8 melodies is extremely beautiful...

[richter3456]

Damn.. hearing this made me cry so many times.

Such a touching game.

[ClackysHut]

I wish they put the love theme at the end of this :<

[kirihito1]

they did

[StarEclipse506]

If Reggie heard this song his soul would tear apart because he is a human manifestation of Gygas XD

[VGmaster153]

We need to test this in the next E3.

[StarEclipse506]

LOLZ we really should

[pkcrossing89]

too late for that...

[VGmaster153]

Well sorry that those were some addicting announcements. Golden Sun DS got me man. But If there were to be more announcements there's always the Toykyo Game Show. Japan might be the first to announce Mother 3 on the DS anyway.

[VGmaster153]

Well... there might be some doubt, but we can always hope...

[VGmaster153]

I love the ending part of this song. It made me cry just thinking about the ending of Mother 3.

[xephermanga]

cute song.

so, lucas is on the rite and claus is on the left

[ElecManX]

The removal of various animal cruelty scenes, references poking fun at gay people, and various other things (language etc) would have made Mother 3 unrecognizable. That was one of my biggest fears of an "official" translation. Perhaps NOA knew this, and wanted to spare us that... That's probably giving them too much credit though. Oh well. The world will never know... and we're better off without knowing.

[warpspeed651]

NOA doesn't localize and censor like they did in 1994.

Stop living in the past.

[ElecManX]

Bullshit. That's all that's needed here.

[realar]

yes the fan translation works well, im happy with that. but id like at least a remake of earthbound zero/mother 1

[ALUKED04]

When did MOTHER 3 make fun of "gay people." I doubt that it did.

[DarkLink9393]

It's just a joke about stereotypical homosexuals. The Mother series are filled with strange jokes, so don't take it seriously. Nintendo would never allow Itoi to use those characters if their purpose was to make gays look bad. Their purpose was to just have a quick laugh about it and continue through the game (of course, you do see them a lot later on).

[DarkLink9393]

When I was talking about their purposes, I was talking about the joke. I know that they guarded the Sevan Needles.

[aerostella]

If you think the Magypsies are making fun of gay people, then you're sensitive as hell.

[ElecManX]

If you think that I thought that I was taking offense to the Magypsies making fun of gay people, then you're dumb as hell.

[SmartSpriter]

But Aerostella's still right. The purpose of the Magypsies wasn't to mock gay people.

Itoi himself said in interviews that he has gay friends, hence the inclusion of characters like Tony and the Magypsies.

[noeyedeer2jk89sx]

Plus why not have the guardians of something so powerful have no specific gender!

[DKsInsanity]

Im not knockin the peeps from Starman, but if Nintendo actually released Mother 3 for DS, I would pay 100 DP for it in a heartbeat.

[realar]

heck id pay 200 dp

[nintendude01]

id sell my house...JK, 300 Dp

[DOTHEKOOPA]

301 LEWL

[StarEclipse506]

OVER 9000!

ok mabye not...XD

[Inferape94]

BIG blank at the end.

[lordrath2000]

wonder why this is called "16" Melodies

[angrywiinerdv2]

beacause its the 8 melodies from mother 1 and 2

[lordrath2000]

oh so its the two 8 melodies combined together

[angrywiinerdv2]

yes indeedy

[uscdrew8531]

Reggie is a dickhead who knows nothing about the EB/Mother fanbase

Btw, this song makes me feel relaxed

[willuseonce]

... ok now i have been wondering for a long time why dosent Nintendo of America/japan just fire reggie?

[ElecManX]

Someone should mail NOA a translated cartridge of Mother 3 with a "friendly" letter attached.

Never deny your fans what they want, or else you lose money. That's the rules.

[MidNightRav3]

Well, you have an outstanding point there:

'NOA should listen to the fans.'

And that's true!

But here's the issue, if they did release Mother 3 locally here in the US, they would have to censor A LOT and take out a majority of serious parts and funny parts, which doesn't make a lot of sense because that's what NOA does to a lot of great games:

Censor the shit out of them.

Hell, I'm an avid Mother fan, but I don't want the game localized by NOA. I'd just import it and hack it. XD

[DKsInsanity]

I played through the Starmen fan translation 110% and i would say it is a T rated game, and they tried to stay as close as they could to the original as they could. So i really dont think NOA would have that much to censor.

[PicandPiku]

E10+ would probably be a more appropriate rating for the game if there was an official translation.

[lopolo42]

E10, when used on most big-name titles, is just a rating to avoid being rated T. Look at Shadow the Hedgehog- Rampant use of "damn", violence, guns, and in several of the endings you listen to Eggman being killed by him. And yet, E10.

[donkeyguy111]

just block out the 1 swear from kumatora and get a E10+ rating (reply to PicandPiku)

[lopolo42]

Kumatora swears multiple times, fassad swears once, there's beer, there's suicide, the world ends on-screen.

[peaceguy8]

the worlds end wasnt really that bad, but yeah, there is enough swearing here and there

[ELQUENODUDA]

i agree if they didn't put up one finger with the world end scene in final fantasy VI there shouln't be problems

[lopolo42]

I just find it amazing that parents today hold swearing and sex as worse for their children than violence.

[Fireblaze175]

If you keep playing, the world actually hasn't ended and everything's fine.

But yeah, as for the other stuff...

[Naglfar52]

Sing it eleven times to Reggie. He'll break down and give us our goddamn Mother.

[angrywiinerdv2]

ninten and ness sang the song

999999999999999999 damage to noa

you win

level up earthbound and mother are now on the vc

[MuhMuhMamaLuigi]

IF ONLY...

[guardianenergy]

i wonder what this song would do to giegue..

[DarkLink9393]

It would destroy every last bit of his soul (I wish I could say it would bring him back to his senses, but he never had any to begin with).

[angrywiinerdv2]

i prefer the origonal but this is still very good

[SmartSpriter]

The difference is that the original is 8 Melodies-Smiles and Tears-Love theme while this version is 8 Melodies-Smiles and Tears-8 Melodies.

I like the original better, since it has once of each main theme, which is good for variety and it feels like it's representing the whole trilogy. However, you have to admit the 2nd 8 Melodies in this version is simply breathtaking.

[MarioLinkGenofan]

fuckin reggie... dic!!!

[gera3329]

Itoi used New Year'as eve Proyect!!!

Infinite damage to NOA

Reggie was replaced!!

It's now on the Virtual Console!

WE WON STAARMEN!!

[nintendude4199]

HOW I WISH SO how i do

[supermario1232]

ah some much nostalgia

[WiiFreedom]

This song deserves a 99999999999999999999/5*

[ssonic50]

+1.

[Lloydllink]

+99999999999999999999999999999­9.

[WiiFreedom]

Thanks. =)

[Kirby4030]

If you don't like this series, stop commenting on videos about it.

[Kirby4030]

well then, congratulations, you have become a troll.

[Cubivore10]

Fuck yeah!
