Its sad because I went through harsh times as well....my hedgehog died a few years ago and I still miss him..my grandfarther died a year ago...he died in the hospital because of cancer...why did death have to enter the world in the first place....
Lol well that was a just an example not to be taken seriously but this much is true I want to see mother 2 and 3 characters on console not just brawl.
"If this game does get released in America, I'm buying it, even if I have already finished it in the fan translation."
Me too. :) I want the Mother series to be a part of my life more. ^^ Sometimes I like to browse through a store to see my favorite things up even if I'm not going to buy it, and to see what old school games are a lot of money and what isn't. It's like a whole museum video game gallery. ^^ EarthBound is so hard to find too. :(
Is a mother 4 all that hard? Example porky got out of the completely safe machine and even more power full and aims to destroy the world. Porky has become too strong so Lucas travels back in time to ask ness for help etc. Something like that.
@dmacleavy No offense, but that sounds way too similar to the stereotypical fan game, where the villain becomes more powerful, and all the main characters of the series unite.
Let's face it, an actual Mother 4 wouldn't have Ness, Ninten, nor Lucas, it'd have a new character.
Actually, there just so happens to be a Mother 4 being made right now by some fans. Normally, I'm not too impressed by fan-made games, but this looks pretty promising.
@dmacleavy like the new yugioh movie? :P No. I dont want that to happen It would make Lucas' sacrafices in vain.:( I admit it would be be cool but that seems more like A fanboy game.
@zekrom117 hate the Mother series and neither does Reggie, they just don't really have any options available for them to market the game in English without a bunch of changes.
@zekrom117 There is more to it then just that. Take the Magypsis for instance. They are alot like Drag Queens what with thier appearence, the way the act, and the way they talk. That's not really something that is considered appropriate to be in a game that has an E rating. Then there is Nintendo of Japan's refusal to allow things like the Magypsis appearence and Dialouge changed because they feel it would detract from the charm of the game (which it would). Nintendo of America doesn't
hey, hey, hey we have this game it's translated not by NoA though by us starmen.net type mother 3 fan translation follow the directions and you got english mother 3.
im glad i was able to play the whole series on the emulator but for the emulator it isnt that bad even if its ilegal or on a key board i just feel bad for the ppl that cant play this great work of art
It's too bad the game was never released outside Japan, but the hard working people over at mother3. fobby. net worked their butts off to make a translation patch for the game.
Well, NoA did make the price WAYYYY TO HIGH. I mean 80 dollars for a game? Gotta admit, it was a great game, but it shouldn't be 80 dollars. And NoA said "This game stinks!" They did hate the Mother Series, but it is our loss and their loss.
@TheRebelchicken1 Nintendo DOES NOT hate the Mother series. They tried everything they could to have EarthBound released on Virtual Console, but copyright issues prevented it. Along with this, Mother 1 was canceled because the NES was already finishing it's run, and RPGs just weren't popular in North America yet. Mother 3's lack of release however, has not been explained.
if earthbound wasnt good, what good would a sequel be in the US? its better off in japam were its not reticuled because it doesnt have good graphics, no guns, and no blood (though it does have two major deaths)
@TheRebelchicken1 You're talking about Earthbound (Mother 2) right? The reason it was 80 bucks is because the game came with its own strategy guide. The game's box was fucking huge compared to the normal SNES game box, because that strategy guide came with it. I just remember renting the game all the time when I was a kid and seeing its big ass box on the shelf, getting like 50 day late charge fee because the game was to cool. Fuck I should have just kept it. Then I wouldnt have to play the rom
I swear to God, this game is so friggin depressing, yet I love it and can't stop laughing with all the silly scenes. Definetly my most favourite game, ever.
Man...im takin a Japanese class this semester at my college...and we're gonna attempt a trip to Japan at the end of the semester...my number one goal is to buy a copy of Mother 3 while im there...lol...
Sorry to disappoint you, but it probably isn't being sold anymore. It was made in 2006 and was the last, if not, one of the last games for the GBA. I'm sorry, but you're probably going to have to stick with eBay or emulators and ROMs.
lol...really...oh well...atleast i still do have the emulator and such...i mainly just wanted it for the novelty of having it...lol...who knows tho...
Yeah, if I remembered their slogan "This game stinks" was one of 'em.
Probably not a good idea.
Also there was that whole strategy guide + cartridge thing... I'm sorry, but as a kid, I did NOT have the money to buy both of them. Maybe just the cartridge...which I did buy... from the flea market... yeehee X)
they dont understand not to think about the sales a long time ago but what It will be if they relesse the mother trilgoy in amircia uk and all conyries
@Or0chiSaKu I think a reason it's not been released is because of the Magypsis. I mean thier appearence and the way they talk and act isn't really something that should be in an E rated game don't you think? Drag Queens are a bit innapropriate.

I think the biggest problem was that M3 came to GBA at the time they NDS tried to make DS being the new GBA in N-A (= most seeling handheld console)
