Shigesato Itoi talks about "Mother".

[64bitni]

wauu i saw this and i was interested tahn i looked where translations are and asumed what would be top comment END OF STORY

[PivotPiAnimations]

English translation plz???

[gamegod9000]

As I am currently learning Japanese, he opened with a "Hello, good evening."

[THELASTREDMAGE]

sorry Mr Itoi. I can't understand you come back with a mmmmmmmmmm translator for me. =)

[Violetstar42]

@toontown2001 if I knew Japanese more fluently I'd do it myself but yeah I agree that they should sub it as well.

[Violetstar42]

Stop complaining about the language please, mother is a Japanese game so what do you expect?

[toontown2001]

@Violetstar42 Thats what most people are complaining about, they almost NEVER translate Mother related things which is unfair for people that cannot understand japanese.

[sonicfan19941]

reaction is what? because UI DON''T KNOW WHJAT HES SAYING!

[gabosuelto1]

ksnafonasfnaosinfoiasn nintendo hasudfhausfhiasufhiashf mother jaosijfoaisjfoiasjfoiasjfoia

[Mrnasty37]

well that explains everything

[xAzureIzumix]

It is surprising how technology have expanded from 80's to 2011. It really wasn't that long ago since we played with NES and such. :o

[awesomeahow]

free reree=translation; Free willy

japan

[cosmosofinfinity]

Translate, please.

[OrangesofSymmetry]

Seconded.

[trueslugger]

I think he is saying mother is coming to vc in the year 2078

[trueslugger]

@trueslugger Its the part where he says " zuna ma toko se beno hu de say too no kay" LOL

[Wurminfektion]

Y U NO SPEAK ENGLISH

[electorg]

I don't mean to sound too picky but could you maybe like add subtitles or maybe just leave the annotations on

I"m sure some earthbound lover will show up to translate eventually

we've all seen how fast that happens

[Klybe2]

tomato should translate this.

[DerGeckarbor]

0:24 he says ´´lol´´

[KirbyFanDude]

@DerGeckarbor Yeah! Also, I think he's actually saying "role playing game."

[Cetra29]

@KirbyFanDude

Indeed he does.

[HappyFoppy]

(eeeeee)

[Chilenski11]

Mother 2 is the only saying I understood

[MrFoxInc]

It's actually pretty silly that you all ask what he's saying, as if it was something new and stunning that MUST be known. The game is twenty years old. There are no news here. Besides, 60% of the video is "Eeeh."

Just enjoy the sound of Itoi's voice and "Eeeh."

[IMMATOONLINK]

Whoa, in the video, it shows that originally the "Blue Starman" was the "Starman 2".

[pbzwriter]

english idiot

[rofroze]

I cannot Grasp the true form of what he is saying...

[whitehousesvc729]

@rofroze

XD ikr?

[MrFoxInc]

He looks so YOUNG.

[ultraness1111]

@MrFoxInc maybe he lives in young town from mother

[MrFoxInc]

@ultraness1111 

[gmodfan11]

Maybe...

なんについて、あなたは母親と言う？



[DanQuijote777]

[jingjong12]

Dude...I don't understand you but yeah, we understand that you like your Mother. :P

[CharryChuCinder12]

ok, uhhuh, repeat that again, in English please?

[grands1am]

I have no idea what he's saying here, but he's an absolute god in my book.

[TheNewCockroach76]

EHH EHHH EHHH EHHH EHHH EHHH EHHH

[TheNewCockroach76]

Half his speech is a mumbly "Ehh"

[LuigiFan128]

there is a translated verson some wheres,

[yvoe9]

yuna, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[SuperMarioFan10000]

What about Subtitles?

[BassBwoy3]

The only word I understood was 'otokonoko' which means 'boy' in japanese. I need to learn more. :S

[luckjes112]

I am dutch! i dont understand japanese! still... mother games are awesome!

[Red023b]

sup shigesato.

[GiGiPokemon]

y dont u subtitle it?

[TazmilyVillage]

Hikaza, mimoshandi. Deko, EHHHHHHHHHHH... Koi moshukuda NINTEN, EHHHHHHHH...

Wow Shigesato XDD

[EarthboundBoy89]

it would be nice if we know what he said

[AkumaUchitoru]

In the related searches you'll find a video by starmennet that has this subtitled in English.

One of the things he says is that he doesn't want players to rush the game, but to sit back and relax instead. :)

[MarioAnimalCrossing]

@EarthboundBoy89 "Konnichiwa" means hello, so just know he said hi.

[FlipJick]

Wow! That sounds great! When does it come out?

[helgenx]

Did you even watch this video?

0:34

[FlipJick]

Dear Helgenx:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that a lesson in "Sarcasm" might do you good. As you can tell by my page, I am a fan of the Mother series, and I knew full well that Mother 1 was on it's 20th birthday weeks ago. This being said, I knew that Mother already came out, along with it's sequels. The question was a prime example of "Sarcasm."

Sincerely,

Flipjick

AV

Post-Script: Mother never came out in America, so I could have meant that.

SUCKA

[avernales123]

looooooooooooooool you tell hegenx off XD

[aquelescaraaaaaaaaaa]

hello, im Shigesato Itoi, and soon Nintendo will release a new game for the Famicom thats is called MOTHER

[Gamepopper101]

subtitles?

[koks3D]

MAZZA!...ERR....ERR...

[EnglishTurtle]

I really like it. It looks old school.

Now I know how kids felt when they played video games in the 80's 90's era.

[MrtIstheLionKing]

LOL Spastic doll at 0:49.

[lanog20cp]

are we suppost to understand what hes sayiong -__-

[Antthny]

this game looks like a bad earthbound. is it any good?

[chosentonessournotes]

You fucking moron. It's THE Earthbound, about 6 years before Earthbound was ever released. It was the very beginning of the MOTHER (Earthbound) series and was the starting point for the incredible series it is today.

[Antthny]

yea i knew that chill out. i was asking if mother was good. i have already played earthbound and mother 3. i was saying it looks kinda bad because of the graphics. i completely understand that its the first of the mother series. dont just call me a moron. think a little bit!

[kanga2795]

It's a lot harder, but that's about it.

[killer500100]

okay, I'll admit graphics are kinda bad and it is very hard, but if you actually played the game, you'd probably like it. It is such a funny game.

It doesn't suck at all. In fact if you wanna play it, you need a guide. I'm actually making one right now. If you want some good tips, come see my guide

[megamannt125]

For an NES game, these graphics are NOT bad, it's one of the largest NES games i've ever seen.

[dumbasspauldentonkin]

The game map is approximately twice the size of Earthbound's, but I can't remember the figures off the top of my head.

[SigmaXVirus]

OK DESU KA?

[videogamehelp45]

exactly,I know why can't it always be like that (in other words)what are you saying?

[cheesewheel]

MAZZA

[KoolKidsRUs]

Wow. I've never had the chance to play Mother, but it seems similar to EarthBound in some ways. It would help if there was a translated version of Mother available online.

[jasonsgroovemachine]

Its the first in the series, and yes there is.

[gwicks]

koolkidsrus: do a google search for "Earthbound zero". It's mother in English! Yay!

[nickmasterx]

Earthbound zero

[Duckhugger]

Earthbound = Mother 2

For some reason video game titles often got changed when they came to America back in the day like Dragon Quest = Dragon Warrior, Rock Man = Mega Man, Dragon Slayer IV = The Legacy of the Wizard, etc...

[narutohinataashgaara]

there was a GB version but its rare you might see it on Ebay if yuor lucky

[Nye52]

wow this games older than me but i still love it

[shaggy215yt]

en español también caería bien.. jaja pero japonés... =S

[VysetheLegend88]

It would help if subtitles were provided.

[vampirekiller777000]

umm... english please?

[sonicknuckels1]

excactley

[moger999]

He says about it

[theluigifan]

what the hell are you saying

[xXBR4D3NXx]

Could someone translate please?

[magicidiot12345]

The title should be "Shigesato Itoi talks about "Mother" in a language most people on youtube can't understand."

[Shmegleskimo]

lol

[Ehal256]

@magicidiot12345 What language would you expect him to use?

[magicidiot12345]

@Ehal256

I dunno lol I made that comment over two years ago.

[triforceofgaming101]

Can someone add subs? Please?

[ncsbert]

I can understand about 1/3 of what he is saying, but not enough to get the jist of it.

[TheCreator4]

i think the reason this game looks so boring is cos everything is so big so you have to do so much walking. Look at the bedroom at 00:35.

Its got three things in it but it such a huge room. And at 1:27. Nobody wants to play a game where all you do is walk. They could at least have made the screen show less field and put more details into the people and stuff, you know what i mean?

[Guh1231]

This was an NES game.

[TheCreator4]

i know. so?

[theFoodEater]

Correction: Nobody wants to play a game where all you do is walk TODAY.

Back then, it was as exiting as you get for an RPG.

I love this game anyway, but I wouldn't have played it if I didn't like Mother 2 so much.

[TheCreator4]

oh. i guess so.

i would love to play it too (especially if it were on gba or ds or something handheld) but all the walking would annoy me some of the time.

[mackincheese]

you guys are so quick to jump on this guy with the negative feedback, but he has a point. I love the MOTHER series (including this one), but this is a reasonable opinion. They ARE big rooms...

[TheCreator4]

Thankyou. I didn't mean to bash the game, I think its great, but i just thought that was one thing that looked boring about it.

[Cubivore10]

See, this game game could have come to america, but kids these days...well not so much back then, but now, most kids won't play it if your not shooting somebody's head off, or if you don't get to use like, 100 guns. Guitar Hero needs to go away too. How long can pressing colored buttons be fun?

[YesManJunior]

Oi! I'm a 'kid these days' and I'm a HUGE Mother fan! I agree, though. New games for kids are... degrading.

[DarkLink9393]

... Mother games aren't based off of war.

[MOUPIMOUPI]

The War Against Giygas

[Hellsadvocate]

With masses of minions pouring themselves at the eight children.

[mudkipNDS]

.........

[fowskate]

DUDE HE SAID "pouring themselves at the eight children."..........cmon now, what else would it be???

[pugnaciousboxer2]

Stop watching loli....

[fowskate]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLO 6 THUMBS DOWN. WTF XD sorry ppl i guess i took it out of context :(

[TheCreator4]

he keeps saying "Err.."

[mktranma]

I'm sure you are familiar with the saying..."it is human to err..."

[cpcpcpcp123]

Yes, you would sound like a robot if you didn't have any vocabulary flaws, believe me, this guy in my class did that once as he presented his book review and half of the class thaught it was scary O.o

[IdeonFukkatsu]

THIS GAME...is the best nes game...hands down...

[kixnothing8777]

does any1 know where i can download it

[mode7]

it's for the NES.

search for Earthbound Zero

[Msdos4]

what game system was that for? I assume that one they were showing was for the NES, but i cant find the Mother rom anywhere!

[visjoner]

Great game (and music). I keep very nice memories from Mother 1.

[paulafromtwoson]

So if possible, players will enjoy the game most if they take it slowly (without getting distracted, using the phone, etc.) and play at a relaxed pace. It is best to play as though you're watching a movie or television, without simply skimming the text, etc. He says that's the what he plans to play it and so he hopes everyone else will do the same. He then reiterates that the game has a lot of depth and is crammed with stuff to experience.

[paulafromtwoson]

TRANSLATION

He's basically saying that the game (unlike most RPGs) stars a normal, young people - just like the person playing it. And they use their courage, wit, and friendship to fight through the game. He then says that there are many special surprises, devices, and hidden things to find and if the player hurries though the game, he/she might miss them.

[parrothead1983]

Wher can I get the video at?

[ihatetherockAOR]

could someone translate what he's saying?

[paulafromtwoson]
