Mother 3 is typically regarded as never getting an official release for the following reasons:
>NOJ is scarily aware of how poorly Earthbound did in the US on SNES and have no faith in releasing it in the west >No trans lators wanted to touch the game every time they got up to the Magypsies >Iwata, the only person who had faith in even attempting to bring it over to the US hence the US getting Mother beginnings, died
Reggie said in his book that he believed that if Iwata didn't die, Mother 3 would have gotten an official release.
He made a mistake and admitted that then set up yet another success. That's amazing to me. he's an honest hardworking human with flaws who just loves video games
Will always love the part that Nintendo is aware Earthbound on the SNES didn't sell well. But never want to be aware they're the ones who set it up to fail.
I mean if mother 3 was released in the west today, a bunch of you polgays would be complaining that the game is ''too woke'' & ''Japan has Fallen!'' So why bother?
>Deltarune isn't in translated in Japanese
Tit for tat
it is though
Japanese is the only foreign language in Deltarune
I wish time travel was real just so I could play the whole game today. And since Im wishing for things, I wish all the trannies, homosexuals, shippers and drawgays in the Deltarune threads would die.
>>NOJ is scarily aware of how poorly Earthbound did in the US on SNES
I feel like that still be a sticking point would require the EB VC and NSO ports to not have sold very well either
Basing a series potential based on a single game 30 fricking years ago when Usenet was the only way to discuss online and no one was aware what it was is so unbelievably stupid. I get the other points why but holy shit

THE TROONS DONT EVEN PLAY MOTHER 3
I DON'T CARE
I WANT MY MOTHER 3 TO BE OFFICIAL
>I WANT MY MOTHER 3 TO BE OFFICIAL
= I want an excuse to demand no one plays or downloads the superior fan translation
No reason whatsoever to get Mother 3 unless the series gets a remake or Iwata and Brownie Brown develop additional content including stuff they planned. Some actual added value
>NOA is scared of pissing off American troons
The real Nintendo don't care otherwise they wouldn't have released it in japan. NOA on the other hand sucks
Nintendo is waiting to surprise the west with a Mother 3 remake that looks like the Link's Awakening Switch version as a launch title for the Switch 2.
>Everything involving the Magypsies >Animal abuse during the part of the game where you play as Salsa >Lucas, a kid takes shrooms and starts tripping out

I don't see why this would be an issue in the west with how all the most politically powerful entities are pushing drug use.
It's the Magypsies
If you censor them people will be angry
If you don't censor them, troons will be angry and demand heads from Nintendo
The game was not made to be something to be re-released nor thought in that way, but just only once in a life time
Like the entire story would be overshadowed by the sole fact of the magypsies
honestly this shit was solved like 50 years ago
"this game's content is the work of it's creators and does not represent Nintendo of America's views"
Then you just translate it 1 for 1 without altering a thing. it's the perfect shield because you can just go "yeah we agree some things are problematic, but we just translated the game, send your complaints to the creators".
Not good enough for modern schizoids, they crave censorship.

it works though, the problem is nobody actually tries that move anymore. they always editorialize their works, and by changing things they become implicitly in favor of whatever the end result represents.

Do you think the mentally ill would care? Look at the b***hy fit these apes made about Stellar Blade, a mediocre game that is on the spotlight PURELY because of a korean model. They will request beheadings in Nintendo for ever releasing this shit in the west, get offended over the fact that the magypsies are actually a better human beigns than them, and then NOJ will stop releasing old gems because of this issue.
Not even a M rate would save this game, specially since it was rated E from the very beginning.

the point is that it would neuter (heh) all their arguments because they could whine all they want and the corporate bot could just say "yeah, we hear yeah, it's out of our hands though, we just get paid to translate, maybe you should learn japanese so you can send complaints to the source of your issue".

They're doing it because of the music, not the content. See
200 posts and not a single person mentioned the real reason its untranslated, which is that the soundtrack has an enormous amount of uncleared samples, including directly ripping the melody from a Beatles song in one of the shop themes, it does this way more than EB does and while it can fly in the more lenient jap copyright system if it came to the west it'd get nailed.
>Possibly? Troons will REEE over anything >Doubt it. This is the company that has glorified wiener fighting and jumping on turtles. Not to mention that they clearly depict it as the wrong/bad thing to do. >Ehh...Again, not depicted as the correct thing to do and eating mushrooms with weird side effects isn't that bad.

I totally believe troons have once again ruined it for the mental stable people.
Why the frick can't they at least bring the JP version to other regions? It's not like there aren't any JP only games already on NSO (someone mentioned Panel de Pon).
Enemies are alien israelite troons. Westoids just feel it's too close home.

Iwata was fricking based even on wiiu failure he throwed money at Xenoblade X, Bayonetta2, W101 and Fatal Frame V bikini edition. It will be most hardcore nintendo console ever. FFV bikinis are super sexy they couldn't be ported and game got censored on western release. Niintendo slop was better with Iwata.
anon the translations been out for a fricking decade if you really want to play it in english just get the translated rom >BUT I WAN SUPPORT GOYTENDO
they dont give a shit about you if they wanted to translate this they would have by now but they dont intend to and this seals the deal so just go play the translated rom
The game is in english already >b-b-but muh official
moron, a soulless official translation will ALWAYS be inferior to a passion project that took it's sweet time.
Irrelevant. After I left prison, I found the bible and God. Stealing is a sin, and I wish to live my life as pure as I can from now on rather than sink back into the misery which I was in before.
I don't wish ill upon Nintendo, but I don't care about them. I care about following the lessons of our lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore I'd like to be able to purchase this game legally.
>I care about following the lessons of our lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ has already taught you that pirating is not stealing through the miracle of the bread and fish. Or do you sincerely believe the milling and fishing industries were robbed from his efforts?
there is nothing illegal about the fan translation, you're just dumb and lazy >legally obtain a japanese copy of mother 3 for the GBA >get a DS flashcart >use DS flashcart and original DS/DS Lite to dump ROM from your copy of Mother 3 >patch with fan translation >play it however you want
Why do you give a shit that it was never localized? Are this desperate for a reason to give money to Nintendo? You can play it in English RIGHT NOW FOR FREE.
Play the fan patch >B-BUT I NEED TO GIVE MONEY TO BINGTENDO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
good luck with the troonslators at NoA that refuse to touch the game lmfao.
>WHAT THE FRICK IS WRONG WITH THESE asiaticS
Literally nothing. The game has trannies in it, who are not praised as the greatest things ever. They're men larping as women without taking HRT getting a hatched job or getting some womens breasts cut off so some troony can sew them on and make them part black,arab or south American making them trans-POC.
The only way mother 3 could get an offical translation is if they not only re-wrote plot but also edited the trannies spites so they are the most beautiful women and strongest non-pro/antagonist characters in the game. Said trannies would have to save everyone and be the most important aspect of the game. Everyones beloved female party member would have to be turned into a troony with new art and completely re-written reminding you they are trans and a powerful woman in every scene. And how superior they are every woman in the game along with everyone else because they are the chosen people.
Nintendo would never do this. And re-releasing the game is gonna be funny causing massive seeth with fans as they cant say the only reason why the game cant get an ENG release is due to trannies. They will cope and seeth being delusional trying to come up with all sorts of reasons why nintendo wont give a western release of the game.

In what universe do you to expect Nintendo to put money into a twentyfive year old online gimmick release and how delusional are you to think Nintendo whould use a fan-patch?
Mother 3 was designed for be full 3D in Nintendo n64, the GBA release is a inferior port. We dont know if the GBA game is a 100% adaptation or only before of the timeskip of Tazmily Village.

Zoomers have the fastest times in SMB1 and completely dominate the NES Tetris scene. Boomers are bad at games and would rather complain about them than play them.
Just play the fan translation already you fricks, it's better than any hackjob Treehouse would put out. And while you're at it play the ones for FE 3-6, Chibi Robo 3, F-Zero Climax, Marvelous, Sutte Hakkun, For the Frog the Bells Toll, the first Starfy, Tomato Adventure, Magical Vacation, ASH, Soma Bringer, Captain Rainbow, and Zangeki no Reginliev, they're good games.

I actually don't even like Mother 3 all that much.. The tone is way different than the other games in the series, the ending especially. It's a real kick in the dick.
its a high quality rpg, but its not as specials as a game like earthbound, if it were not called mother 3 i would probably be nicer to the game
I enjoyed Earthbound: I think it really encapsulates the feeling of being kids navigating the big world...But mother 3 is way better.
Better visuals and QOL improvements are an obvious benefit of hardware improvements, but I think the OST for mother 3 is superior to. The characters actually have character which interact with the world around them rather than 4 mute homies with little to no personality getting talked at going through the motions. I also appreciate the narrative as while there are differences between Mother 1 and 2, they feel somewhat samey in terms of narrative.
Alright, I'll bite. How so?
Because mechanically wise, they're the same. Mother 3 has a more linear story, but there are times when you can go back to old areas and do optional stuff. Earthbound is suppose to be a more open world, but there's very little reason to backtrack outside of game progression; I can think of 2 "side quests" off the top of my head and they do nothing.
earthbound really excels at making you feel like youre growing up, with its changing environments and progresion. i cant describe it too well because i havent played the game in like 4 months, but there really arent any games that just compare to it, a lot of these "earthbound-likes" are more mother 3 inspired than earthbound, plus earthbounds ost is more creative and the story is a lot more cooler with how its not in your face really (compared to mother 3)
I agree that it's one of the only games to give you that feeling and that a lot of Mother-likes like to reference the "quirky" side of Mother (prevalent in Mother 3) but disagree with everything else:
>But that isn't a bad thing?
No. I want to have the freedom to explore and discover rather than the game forcefully show me things. This is why BotW/TotK are the best Zelda games ever made.
The mystique and running gag of this game not being localized will keep people playing and talking about it for far longer than if it ever did officially release worldwide
Oh stop b***hing about this already
You all know, every single one of you, that if there was an official translation you'd all hate it and just tell people "Download the ROM and emulate it, it's better."
And Nintendo knows this too. Every single person that wants to play Mother 3 in English has the best version, better than what Nintendo would do. So what the hell are you b***hing about?
if copyright/twitter troons were such a concern, a cool way to navigate through that criticism is by adding an english language option in the mother 3 jp nso rom, so people that want to play can just make a jap account. i dont know if thats possible though from a technical sense and a business sense.
What annoys me is how much fricked up shit kids are exposed to in America that are seen as totally okay just because theyre presented behind a thin veneer of infantilization. Five Nights at Freddie's and shit like that. And even Undertale that gets away with doing fricked up stuff because it's to monsters.
Meanwhile in games like Mother 3 despite the setting being so crazy and fantastical, the fact that they take the serious things that happen 100% seriously is what makes it controversial.
If the animal abuse still happened but wasn't as realistic it would be fine.
If samba wasn't a monkey but some made up creature or would be fine.
If instead of mushrooms Lucas ate some made up fantasy drug it'd be fine.
If the magypsies didn't look human and were made up creatures it would be fine.
It's like they're only against mature topics when they come close to resembling real life issues.
How fricked are we when MOTHER 3 of all things is too realistic a portrayal of issues for kids to be exposed to but everything else on the internet is not?
Mother 3 didn't come out in the age of iPad children who's parents don't really love them. If it released in the exact same state as a $10 Steam indie game, it would be the next FOTM.
>the only black on the white ship, which was probably a technological marvel since they have tech that can store and erase minds permanently >when his mind was erased, he was fitted to become a fricking tribal stereotype
It's such a fricked up detail, Jesus Christ lmao.
the only thing i can see getting changed regarding magypsies is lucas getting held underwater sith some slightly sexual dialogue to stress him into his psychic powers working
magypsies are otherwise treated as a /misc/ wet dream. they stay far away from humans but aren't averse to visitors coming of their own accord, they're regarded as weird, they say themselves they aren't human, kumatora was raised by them but is still a frickin' based tomboy, they're actively hunted down by pigmasks after the masked man is added to their ranks, they're DEAD FOREVER when their needle is pulled, and fassad "detransitioned" into a man (by taking off his makeup and did nothing else)
but it isn't played as mean, it isn't given undue attention, fhere isn't a fat neckbeard seething about troons in the writing staff. it's just transgender stereotypes being given a seven sages role and played straight and for laughs at the same time
Hearing how the Mother series inspired Undertale stopped me from playing these games up until last year.
How can such comfy games inspire one of the gaygiest games and fanbases of the last 10 years?
Undertale is it's own thing in and of itself, but it can never compare to any actual Earthbound game. It's like eating salty fries and then eating chocolate and claiming they're the same thing.
We've had a bunch of old games that was locked onto roms and old consoles so it wouldn't be odd to hope for a modern release of M3. Problem being: the game has always been a lost cause. Nintendo ain't going to touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Honestly I don't even care if we get an official EN release. It's just that the reasons that we haven't piss me off.
In the same way that I don't actually give a shit if a game censors panty shots but the reasons why they were censored annoy me.
It's soulless corporate suits deciding that they know what's better for a country or speakers of a particular language than the person who created the game.
You need to get your head out of the culture war nonsense.
Lol, my post isn't coming from the perspective of cultural war shit. I haven't been on Ganker for a while so I forgot how common that is.
I don't think they're withholding mother 3 out of some woke agenda, but because they are uncomfortable with the content.
They literally already have a translation and could probably easily pull a Trails from Zero and get it used officially. There's clearly /some/ demand for Mother 3 overseas and if they're willing to remake fricking Mario RPG I don't see why applying an existing patch to mother 3 would be some kind of financial risk.
The reason that they haven't brought it over yet is because the aging boomers in charge of localization are uncomfortable with the content of the game.
>protagonist has an intact family (at first) >protagonist has a father figure >there are very prominent magic trannies in the game not exactly portrayed as brave, stunning, valid and beautiful >protagonist gets molested by said trannies to "learn magic" >blatant mass propaganda critique
has a father figure
Flint is a piece of shit dad that abandoned Lucas at his weakest when Claus was lost.
Everything went from bad to shit when Flint was jailed for being a sperg.
You have to choose either the red pill or the blue pill Ganker.
1. Mother 3 gets an official english translation, but a significant amount of depth is cut from the game in an attempt to make it palatable to a western audience.
2. Mother 3 official english translation never ever.

Either you play the fan translation or you learn Japanese to play the original. There was no way Mother 3 was ever going to be localized all the way back when and it's definitely impossible now.
Everyone who cares even a little about Mother 3 already played it with the fan translation, why would you even want an official release? Just to complain that the localization is different and then say you aren't going to buy it in protest? It's not even like the series has any chance of continuing to want to show support for
there's a 0% chance any official translation would be better than the fan translation
there's literally no excuse your toaster can run a GBA emu to play it
>people still pissing and shitting themselves over not getting an official translation of this game
I'm not even mad anymore, mostly just disappointed. they've had 15 years to play a fan translation that's better than any official localization could hope to be but they think that isn't good enough for some reason. You don't see me crying that nintendo hasn't localized pokemon TCG2 to put on NSO, because I played that years ago with a fan patch.
Pirating Nintendo games is always right, THOUGHEVER.
Mother 3 is great, played it when the fan patch came out, and honestly at this point it's just funny if they don't ever port it.
And they keep making jokes about it.
everyone talks about the magypsieps or whatever but also forget all the other fricked up shit, like child suicide, mushroom bad trip island or the absolutely safe capsule
Earthbound gave me an existential crisis, I was expecting a 50's movies style invasion, but I got greeted by a cutesy game with bright colors, then I got to the kidnapping part, and the end is specially eerie, you need to rip your mind apart to save the world, you can wander around leveling up preparing but the thought of inevitable doom never leaves. It didn't help that I played it as a kid entering puberty, the entire world was changing.
I honestly don't understand how the frick that inspired undertale, it's absolutely nothing alike, maybe toby is moronic and never understood the concept.

if they actually rereleased it with all of the neccessary censorship, you are encouraging even more annoying homosexuals to get into mother 3. its already obnoxious with the game only having a fan translation
It's the principle of it. I'm mad at Nintendo for being lazy and shitting down our throats and then expecting us to be thankful for it
Their NSO service is already a fricking joke and I wouldn't recommend it over getting these games for free anywhere else via emulators
>NOOOOO, DON'T MAKE THIS MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO EFFORT
There entire communities that hack games from the ground up to make something new from them. Don't tell me Nintendo is incapable of doing something like that better fit their own fricking game. They could even get Shogo Sakai to make new songs for it, I'm sure he's not busy right now.
nta but no one trying to argue that it'd be impossible, simply that it's a frickton of effort for a game in a series that is ultimately niche (no matter what terminally online communities would lead you to believe) and has had readily available fan translations for well over a decade.
>frickton of effort
Anon. this is a fricking GBA game we're talking about. A game that can be played on the most outdated potatoes and brick phones. It would NOT take that much effort or money on Nintendo's part to tweak it for international release, and being niche is irrelevant since I've seen far more niche games get released and translated.
Stop making excuses for them.
The effort isn't in making the localization, it's in hiring some California trans lator to make the translation and then hiring some butt monkey manager to review. Both having 100k/yr salaries of course.

And how is that any different from any other game these days? Don't get me wrong, I don't think the translation would be good, let alone on Tamato's level, or that you should pay 50 smackums for it instead of getting the ROM for free online. But I'm more mad Nintendo isn't even trying, which is something I expect from NSO at this point.
Obviously "frickton" is relative, in this case it simply means "far more than most games looking to be localized" nowadays. Any effort past what's standard needed to localize instantly puts it under a scope. People act like larger gaming companies having more resources means they should be more blasé and thus should take more risks, but it instead means more eyes higher up are on any given endeavor and it needs to prove that it'd be either profitable or baseline beneficial in a way that makes the result worth the effort.
I'm not making excuses for them, if I had any sway it would've been localized years ago. I'm simply saying that Nintendo has little to no actual reason to do so for a litany of factors and thus I'm not surprised or offended that they, indeed, haven't done so-especially since I played the game for free close to a decade ago at this point (and I'm assuming anyone who gives enough of a shit to advocate for it at this point has too, especially on this site).

They can do whatever the frick they want, they're a multi-billion dollar company who still has very good relations with the man who holds the rights to the series. I'm simply not expecting them to do anything given every factor surrounding the game's potential localization, and since I recognize that, I didn't have my fragile sensibilities irritated at the prospect that they'll continue to do what they've been doing for 18 years at this point.
I played the game, loved it, talked about it, etc. etc., so I'm content. I don't need my passion for a product to be validated by a big company acknowledging it's existence.

I wasn't expecting them to do anything either, because this isn't the first time they've done this and replaced actual good games with shovelware.

All the more reason to be mad at them when they do dumb shit like this.
Again. I wasn't expecting them to actually localize or release Mother 3, it was fully expecting them to replace it shovelware, which they did (sorry, most of Rare's pre-N64 days games sans DKC is dogshit)
I am just sick and tired of Nintendo's brazen laziness for most of their older games, that they won't even lift a finger for them. Mother 3 is the just most recent and famous example of this, but there are others, believe you me.

the main effort that would for localizing Mother 3 wouldn't be translating it but coding it. Mother 3 has a lot of weird menu/textbox/font issues and you know they won't use Tomato's work/tools. It's not like they can just go in a file, translate the text and then the game is in English. >Nintendo is a massive company with lots of money, they could do it
sure, they could, but there's not much reason to.
+ some more people might sub to NSO
- probably a negligible amount. Already a niche game with a small audience made even smaller by everybody already having played it
+ good publicity for a week or so
- but also bad publicity for how they translate/censor/not censor certain things. You can never please everyone but the existence of the fan translation makes it much easier to compare it to something.
- they have to hire people to code it
- they aren't selling it for money, it's just another title on NSO
that's without even getting into any legal stuff

Again, we're talking about a GBA game. And we're also talking about a multi-billion dollar company. And we're also talking about things they've had no trouble with in the past and either didn't give a shit then, or blew right past.
This isn't some huge undertaking. This is Nintendo not doing to basic amount of effort
And if they can't be bothered with a fricking GBA game. Why should we assume anything less their other games and re-releases. Hell, we've seen that mentality before, should I remind you of all the Mario sports games that came out half baked? Or Mario All-Stars? Or fricking everything about modern Pokemon
No matter how you slice it, it sets a bad precedent.

No one reply to this troony, he's been making a big stink in the thread since he has no idea how money works. Anyone with a sense of reason knows Nintendo has no reason to localize Mother 3. An HD remake would be more cost beneficial, and that won't happen either.

it being a GBA game doesn't make it any easier, it probably makes it harder actually. I have no idea what the frick you mean by effort. Some things are worth effort and some things aren't. Mother 3 isn't. It would probably set a worse precedent for shareholders if Nintendo put "effort" into every single project they possibly could that isn't worth it and financially damage the company, making them less able to apply effort where it would be better used.

Anon, I shouldn't need to tell you this. But there are plenty of people who know how to work with 16 and 32 bit games in the industry right now, it isn't some dying art, there are game studios who work exclusively in that, mostly because it's cheaper than working in full 3D these days, and the GBA isn't hard console to work with.
What you're suggesting is they can't and won't do any kind of effort for it whatsoever, which is shit no matter how you look at it. It would neither be hard nor expensive for them to do any kind of changes they deem nessicary for international release, they just don't care.
And that's the biggest thing here, technicaly issues are one thing, but there is no justified excuse for this level of apathy. It almost seems malicious and spiteful at this point. Nintendo KNOWS how much people want the game, they know it wouldn't cost much to do something with it, they just don't care and that is shit

I never said they can't do it, just that it isn't worth it. If it was coding a game from scratch that's one thing, but it's working with pre-existing code and trying to not break anything. Yeah, they could do it. No, it wouldn't be a titanic, near impossible effort. But there's just no incentive to do it. The amount of money and effort it would take is greater than the projected reward for doing it because the projected reward for doing it is incredibly low.

And that's the thing. Any "risk" it has is virtually non-existant, any amount of money would be offset by the sales of NSO, and wouldn't scratch the dick of the budget of the actual games they have coming forward, and I imagine wouldn't take that much if any time away from them, they could fricking out source translation and coding duties and wouldn't make a dent in Nintendo's overall budget. The issue is exactly that they won't. Because, just based on what we've seen, they don't care. And that is a issue, Nintendo taking the laziest route possible, because literally any kind of effort would be too much, no matter small. And again, this reflects poorly, it's a bad precedent. Nintendo is having pay 50 dollars for this shit, why shouldn't they be held to some kind of standard for it?
Hell, for as little effort as they could've done, it could've saved the direct (which was agressively dull) in the eyes of many people, and they couldn't even do that. Because they were lazy, the smallest amount of effort was too much for them. Why shouldn't they get called out for that?

I think you overestimate how many people would subscribe to NSO + for Mother 3 and underestimate how much money and work it would take to localize it.

Even IF, it didn't get a single new subscriber, it wouldn't cost them that much to offset it. You are overestimating how expensive this would be, I can safely say it probably wouldn't even put a scratch on Nintendo's bottom line, especially with stupidly popular the Switch has been for 7 fricking years

I don't believe it would have a significant impact on their bottom line but I do think it would be a waste of time, money and effort. It doesn't have to bankrupt the company for it to be an unappealing proposition, and there are so many other things like Mother 3 that would offer little to no return as well. Is the precedent that you want set that they should waste their resources on every little project like that to show that they care?

Nintendo's stance is clear and reasonable. It would take some effort, probably not very much, but still significant effort to translate the game. The Mother franchise overseas is not the staple that it is in Japan. The only reason they released Mother 1 in English is because they already did the translation 30 years ago.
The whole localization process is probably not worth it.
Again. You're basically saying "any kind of effort is too much". How do you not see how fricking backwards and reductive this is? This isn't even even just a Mother issue, which I have also said.
You are giving them a free pass to not give a shit, and spit in the eye of the customer.

spitting in the eye of the customer would be asking Tomato to no longer provide the fan translation without any plans on localizing the game themselves. That would be backwards.
Demanding that they localize a niche GBA game to add to a service, which has had a fan translation that's readily available for well over a decade because not doing it would be lazy is reductive

The tomato translation has been out in the wild for years, even if Nintendo somehow got away with doing something, it'd be out again in a dozen different places ready for download.
People are still paying 50 dollars for their shitty service, not having games for it is absolutely a spit in the eye. And AGAIN, you are missing the point, this is not just a Mother issue, this is something that extends to entire goddamn company, this isn't just about the translated ROM of one GBA jrpg.

I don't really understand your point about people rehosting the patch. Yeah obviously they can't erase it forever, but it would be a shitty thing to do.
also, just unsub from the service you moron. It's for kids who were too young to have an n64
I don't believe I am missing the point. You want them to spend a bunch of resources on projects with little to no return to show that they care. That's the point, right?

It would be a shitty thing to do, but not unexpected. Nintendo has never liked emulation when it wasn't under their control, why do you think NSO exists? Because normalgays are too stupid to download an emulator and find the ROMS free online
And also, I don't the service you dipshit. But that doesn't mean the kids who do have to settle for it being bad.
>You want them to spend a bunch of resources on projects with little to no return to show that they care
Little back handed on the wording, but yes, to have value for the service and simple presveration. Also, it's not a "bunch of resources" we've been over this, you even admited it wouldn't cost that much or be that much effort for them. This isn't some huge undertaking, it's slightly more than the bare minimum

so it's okay for them to take down the fan translation because it's expected, but it's not okay for them to not localize games well over a decade old even though that's just as, if not more expected?
Also, you keep flip flopping, are we only talking about Mother 3 or every little project they can possibly undertake? Because it if's only Mother 3 then yes, I admit, it would not be "a bunch of resources" but that's not what you want, you want them to put resources into as many financially unviable projects as possible and those will add up, and their inevitable failures will be unattractive to shareholders compounding the loss they'd make in actually bothering with that shit

I never said it would be okay, you're words in my mouth you dipshit. Just that Nintendo would do something like that, if they haven't tried already.

As I said, the Mother franchise is not established overseas. Japanese people go :O when they hear about Mother because it's very popular there.
Whining about Mother 3 not getting localized is pathetic. If you love the games, the translation is available and better than what Nintendo could ever produce. >You are giving them a free pass to not give a shit, and spit in the eye of the customer.
You misunderstand. I commend them for not bringing Mother 3 to the west officially. It would be doing disservice to the game.

This is about Nintendo and the utter apathy they have for their own games and the people who buy them.
I already have Mother 3 physically and on ROM translated, I don't care about playing it on NSO "offically" even if it did by some miracle made it. But I do take issue with Nintendo actively not caring with their own IP or their fans

The Mother trademark is owned by Itoi and Nintendo, so it doesn't fully belong to them. I'm not sure how much this changes things, but Itoi can at least keep selling Mother merch without Nintendo being mentioned (as far as I remember). >Nintendo and the utter apathy they have for their own games
So >corporation: *does corporation thing* >consoomer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY IS CORPORATION LIEK THIS THIS SI NOW WHAT WE DESRVE REEEEEEE *hands corporation a wad of cash while choking on his own snot*
It seems you are kinda deluded about the nature of Nintendo and expect it to be something you want it to be rather than what it is.
I don't expect anything. Corporations are not my friends. I like it when they do something good, but I expect the worst.
As you can see, you can enjoy and even buy the game or merch if you want to. I absolutely couldn't care less if there's no official localization for a game. What I care about is whether I get to enjoy it or not.

You're so close to getting. Corporations AREN'T our friends, I didn't expect anything either. But that does not mean we shouldn't hold them accountable, the lack of a Mother 3 localization stems from a far bigger issue of Nintendo showing a complete disregard for their own older games, espeically in the west, taking the laziest and cheapest route possible
And Itoi is non-factor in this. The would give it for free himself if it wasn't under IP laws and shit, so that leaves Nintendo to face blame, which they should.
Corporations acting like corpoations is bad thing, and we should call them out for that. How does giving them a pass help anything? Just waving your hands in the air and surrendering to their bullshit? If people had that mentality Project Rainfall would've never gotten off the ground and Xenoblade wouldn't have left Japan or Europe.

>It's the content >It's the music
The real reason is that they're not going to waste money localizing an old as frick niche GBA game, your only chance is the game getting a remake
Eh, I trust more the troonymericans getting offended narrative.
Didn't an old SNES game get translated somewhat recently, too? I don't remember if it was a game from the Mana series.
It's kind of weird how development was too difficult being in 3D when it was at a time where developing 3D games was difficult for everyone, but they just did it anyway.
>it wasn't even close to being finished
It was apparently over 90% finished, it just missed the boat on the N64's lifespan ending before it could release. Miyamoto tried to convince Itoi to put it on GameCube since it was almost done anyways but he was against it.
>Wasn't everything from E64 repurposed into M3?
There are some things from the trailers that we can see never made it into Mother 3, like the minecart segment with Claus. The ending was apparently "darker" too.
If I recall correctly, he was worn out from the long production and was tempted to scrap the whole thing.
Also on looking it up it seems I was wrong about it being so near completion. Rather they had finished all of the groundwork and only the programming was left. Not sure how long that would have taken to finish. I do know that Iwata was able to code EarthBound from scratch in half a year, which was helped by all the sprites being done and the story and soundtrack essentially complete too. But I imagine the programming for an N64 game would be a lot more taxing.

Why are nintendies so obsessed with a mother3 official western release?
If you really cared you would have played the fantranslation 10 years ago and realized that it's the worst mother game in the trilogy
I'm so tired of this song and dance every single time Mother 3 is mentioned. I don't think anyone actually cares about the game itself, they just want to act high and mighty and want to act like it's a big win if it gets ported without actually bothering to play it. If it gets translated by NoA, it'll be butchered meme garbage at best. Nintendo doesn't mention it because they're literally giving you the okay to pirate it, and everyone still complains.
>t. Nintendo doesn't mention it because they're literally giving you the okay to pirate it
That is a very generous way to think about it and also wrong, but I digress
If Nintendo or Itoi actually cared enough, the fan translation would have been taken down by now. It isn't, they don't care and neither do you. Every time they mentioned it, whether as a joke in the pseudo Robot Chicken skit or on Twitter, should've clued you in that they wanted you to shut up about it.
Nintendo has been trying and failing to take down roms of their shit for years, them masking it with shitty "haha look we know how much you want it" ""jokes""" doesn't change that. And Itoi is the black sheep of Nintendo's corpo world, the man give it for for free across the planet if he could, in a way he would outright approve of it if Nintendo suits didn't have an eye on it
They really haven't attacked the Mother 3 fan translation at all, which is why it's still up. You can make fake scenarios all you want, they do not go for it because they don't want to. If they wanted to, it wouldn't be hard for them to have a lawyer or two nudge the fan translation off. The truth is they don't see a reason to localize it at all, and the game is old at this point so why bother? It's too much work for something they themselves don't care about. The peak of the popularity of Mother 3 passed ages ago. Brawl only had Lucas in it because Samurai assumed it would be localized, and when it didn't, the fan translation happened and everyone was happy. The only people that aren't are weird Nintendo fans that feel the need to buy everything and Twittertards. Anyone that actually wanted to play has played and moved on or played it multiple times. If you cared about Nintendo getting money, you could've bought a Japanese copy ages ago.
They haven't taken that much action because it's bad publicity. Not that that's stopped them before but still
Nintendo wants money, sure, but they're fricking lazy when it comes to anything that isn't 3D or older than the Gamecube, or wasn't made by Miyamoto
Contraray to what you may think, this isn't something unique to Mother as a franchise, there are TONS of games that have no localizations that fans had to take up the work for them, and still either haven't seen western releases, or releases at all after their original console is dead and buried. Do you know how many first party SNES games STILL aren't on their goddamn service, even in Japan?
I don't give a shit about giving Nintendo money. their service is a scam no matter how you choose to look at it. But I really have hard time believing any fan-translation or ROM has their approval, implicit or otherwise, when Nintendo has tried to kill emulation for years
Reminder to everyone ITT that the day before Tomato was sat to release his fan translation he got an email from an ~~*anonymous source*~~ that told him that if he were to release his translation that Mother 3 would never be localized to English officially, and here we still are
>people b***h about localizing >turns out the original script has fricked up stuff in the script >localizers change it in order to avoid controversy
Who is in the wrong here? Because if you ask me, that seems like a company decision. And as far as I know, a LOT of Nintendo games had weirdly pedophilic shit like this or something just as bad. The reason they don't keep it faithful is because NOA knows they'd get eaten alive, and I wish they did just so it could happen. The fact that something like Engage exists even aesthetically in FE's series is genuinely embarassing. I'd want 1:1 translations so we can EXACTLY see what the writers wanted, and then properly shit on them and raise hell if it's an issue.
as an adult, their dialog makes me laugh, and they're actually good characters. problem is they're in a "children's game" according to the insane ratings system everyone has. mother 3 is really dark, but it there's no blood everywhere, so it's for 5 year olds.
It should never get released in the west. None of them ever should have been. The western Mother community was an absolute mistake. If you didn't play the games in the original Japanese, you did NOT really play them. No, Tomato's translations aren't good enough either.
Redpill me right now how the original translation is superior, because I'm pretty sure every autist has verified that the fan translation was more or less accurate.
>The Tomato translation already exists why are you mad? >It isn't getting translated because of Trannies >It isn't getting translated because of the music >It isn't getting translated because it's niche >You should be happy Nintendo is lazy
STOP MAKING EXCUSES!
Nintendo should get shit on for this. They have had 18 goddamn years to make it work, they have 7 for specifally the Switch.
Stop acting like there's nothing that can be said about Nintendo's laziness. Stop acting like we should expect or want the localzation even if it ever did come out
Laziness is something we SHOULD hold Nintendo's ass over a fire about! Because it's not just about Mother 3 but goddamn game they've ever made!
>morons genuinely think will put more time and effort into localizing an 18 year old GBA GAME just to appease western manchildren
This is what baffles me about you fricking Black folk. Do you honestly, GENUINELY believe that the company would WASTE money to localize this fricking game when it would require so much fricking effort? Not only would they have to redo a good chunk of music, troony localizers would have a field day, try to make story changes, plus NOA has to deal with potential backlash either way, AND part of the copyright is held by the creator. There is quite literally ZERO reason for them to localize it when it would cost more money in the long run, you fricking low IQ subhuman. Also: >reddit spacing
Get the frick off my board you scum.
>Nintendo is bad, so we should stop giving them shit for when they are

Not a thing nor has it ever been a thing, and I'm sick of gays like you using to dismiss a post off hand, frick off.
You are shilling for Nintendo and you don't even know it
You dumb frick, I'm not defending any company, it's common business sense. There's no point doing it when it's too much of a hassle. If you wanna play it so badly, go learn japanese and play the original you damn mongoloid. And pick up a business book while you're at it.
Find any way to justify you want, that's exactly what you're doing. You're giving Nintendo a free pass because they've been shit in the past so you should expect or want nothing less. That is exactly the kind of attitude that justifies them being being lazy with their games and services, frick you. You might not protray yourself as shill, but you're still doing their job and working up to bat for the corpos that piss on us and then call it rain.
>he thinks an 18 year old gba game is indicative of nintendo's business ideolody
Yep, you're moronic. Now gimme my you, you weakspined homosexual. Enjoy no troony localization of Mother 3. It's only good news to me.

>illegal
lol what are they gonna do about it? send feds to my house over a 19 year old game they decided not to localize because the fanmade translation was just that good? moron
Literally use Duolingo for like two months and you’ll have enough knowledge of the Japanese language to understand how to read the game.
You won’t understand it seamlessly, you’ll probably need to look up words for what they mean, but you can do it.
No matter the translation Pokey has one of the worst fates I've come across in a video game. If they change that not to trigger youths then I'll skip on playing an 'official' translation even if its a remaster
Friendly reminder that your NSO subscription allows you to download the Japanese NSO app! You just need to create a separate user profile and a separate Nintendo Account (use a Japanese area code).
I don't care.
I played the fan translation a billion years ago when that came out.
If it came out officially in the west I STILL wouldn't give a shit, not just because I already played it, but because I refuse to reward their continued shittiness over it. They had their goddamn chance, they had 20 goddamn years of chances that they continually refused to take. Nearly 20 years to take my money, and now I simply refuse.
to the 3 actual people that played the fricking game instead of screeching like monkeys, they know magypsies are actual total bros. Literal aliens that just help you out on your journey, not troon shit
The series turns 35 this year, I wonder if they are having any kind of special celebration or if they will wait until the 40th anniversary to do anything.

Mother 3 being stuck in Japan forever is the best outcome. Trannies will beg for a US release but immediately regret it once they actually play the game and find out they’re being made fun of. Nintendo did the right thing by putting an end to the shitstorm that Iwata was about to unleash. Too bad it cost him his life, but the Nintendo ninjas did the right thing.

Absolutely not the case. Everyone western fan has already played Mother 3.
This is fricking embarrassing.
It's either you want the release or you don't care. You can just admit you don't care, anon.
All of your arguments can be applied to literally every game ever made. You may as well not localize anything and just play fan translations for every game ever made. Go ahead, no one's stopping you.

Mother 3 is typically regarded as never getting an official release for the following reasons:
>NOJ is scarily aware of how poorly Earthbound did in the US on SNES and have no faith in releasing it in the west
>No trans lators wanted to touch the game every time they got up to the Magypsies
>Iwata, the only person who had faith in even attempting to bring it over to the US hence the US getting Mother beginnings, died
Reggie said in his book that he believed that if Iwata didn't die, Mother 3 would have gotten an official release.
And that's a good thing!
Every day I mourn Iwatas death seriously. Nintendo isnt the same without him, he never got to see the fruits of his labor post Wii U
>he never got to see the fruits of his labor post Wii U
but the WiiU bombing harder than the Vita was all on him
He made a mistake and admitted that then set up yet another success. That's amazing to me. he's an honest hardworking human with flaws who just loves video games
>He made a mistake and admitted that then set up yet another success
How do you know that? The Switch being successful wasn't because of him
He literally designed the system and planned it's first 2 years on the market
Plus the Wii Woo was pretty blatantly a Switch prototype in hindsight.
gays like you forget he's the one responsible for the Switch and setting up a lot of Nintendo's third party support for it.
>no dont you get it, he made the WiiU bad on purpose to set up for the real thing!
Why Americans enjoy groveling over suits?

It's the equivalent of blue balling Deltarune to Japan for some petty reason

it is though

Mother 3 is almost twenty years old. You could have imported the game from Japan and played it already if you really wanted to support it.
It doesn’t matter if they play or not. They’ll post on twitter about how transphobic Nintendo is for making this game
>Just American
If they had waited another year it would have been too risky to release it even in japan, let alone Europe
>I WANT MY MOTHER 3 TO BE OFFICIAL
= I want an excuse to demand no one plays or downloads the superior fan translation
No reason whatsoever to get Mother 3 unless the series gets a remake or Iwata and Brownie Brown develop additional content including stuff they planned. Some actual added value
How? Their presence in the game makes you Gamergate terrorists seethe.
Your god will never be real
>NOA is scared of pissing off American troons
The real Nintendo don't care otherwise they wouldn't have released it in japan. NOA on the other hand sucks
Nintendo is waiting to surprise the west with a Mother 3 remake that looks like the Link's Awakening Switch version as a launch title for the Switch 2.
>Everything involving the Magypsies
>Animal abuse during the part of the game where you play as Salsa
>Lucas, a kid takes shrooms and starts tripping out
>Lucas, a kid takes shrooms and starts tripping out
I don't see why this would be an issue in the west with how all the most politically powerful entities are pushing drug use.
It's the Magypsies
If you censor them people will be angry
If you don't censor them, troons will be angry and demand heads from Nintendo
The game was not made to be something to be re-released nor thought in that way, but just only once in a life time
Like the entire story would be overshadowed by the sole fact of the magypsies
Yes i'm well aware of that, I was responding to the thing about the drugs
honestly this shit was solved like 50 years ago
"this game's content is the work of it's creators and does not represent Nintendo of America's views"
Then you just translate it 1 for 1 without altering a thing. it's the perfect shield because you can just go "yeah we agree some things are problematic, but we just translated the game, send your complaints to the creators".
Not good enough for modern schizoids, they crave censorship.
it works though, the problem is nobody actually tries that move anymore. they always editorialize their works, and by changing things they become implicitly in favor of whatever the end result represents.
>"this game's content is the work of it's creators and does not represent Nintendo of America's views"
Do you think the mentally ill would care? Look at the b***hy fit these apes made about Stellar Blade, a mediocre game that is on the spotlight PURELY because of a korean model. They will request beheadings in Nintendo for ever releasing this shit in the west, get offended over the fact that the magypsies are actually a better human beigns than them, and then NOJ will stop releasing old gems because of this issue.
Not even a M rate would save this game, specially since it was rated E from the very beginning.
the point is that it would neuter (heh) all their arguments because they could whine all they want and the corporate bot could just say "yeah, we hear yeah, it's out of our hands though, we just get paid to translate, maybe you should learn japanese so you can send complaints to the source of your issue".
THE TROONS
DO NOT CARE
SIMPLE AS
It would be "based" for them because Lucas gets to interact with the Magypsies but the Magpysies are ugly crossdressing people, so therefore they wouldn't like it.
homosexual, since when do I care what troons think? they don't have any real power aside from the ability to mutilate themselves. the problem is all the soft power given to them by companies due to worrying about what troons care about just like you're doing. They can't do anything if you just dismiss their complaints without addressing them.
No frick that, i've accepted defeat on the body type thing but I will absolutely rather get nothing at all than that shit
you'd rather get nothing than get no censorship at all, just a small disclaimer? sounds like you WANTED to lose the war then.
Censorship is capitulation, disclaimers are agreeance which is far far worse
I think this is a cope, people love Silence of the Lambs to this day in spite of Buffalo Bill. It's most likely just legal issues
Why not just put a content warning like modern games do?
hell tomb raider did it, unless Nintendo is ashamed of mother 3
This is such an easy way out. They should just do that.
They're doing it because of the music, not the content. See
a content warning for illegal use of music samples? wat
>Warning: We stole your shit
>SUCK MY DICK WHITTU PIG
Yes
Politically powerful entities aren't pushing kids to do shrooms dude
>Possibly? Troons will REEE over anything
>Doubt it. This is the company that has glorified wiener fighting and jumping on turtles. Not to mention that they clearly depict it as the wrong/bad thing to do.
>Ehh...Again, not depicted as the correct thing to do and eating mushrooms with weird side effects isn't that bad. Again, Mario.
I totally believe troons have once again ruined it for the mental stable people.
Gonna be on the Switch 2 exclusive, screencap this
You’re never going to get an official translation of this game, just shut the frick up and start emulating.
Get off your ass and learn Japanese
>i REFUSE to play the existing translation, i NEED an official localization so i can give nintendo money for a rom
Why the frick can't they at least bring the JP version to other regions? It's not like there aren't any JP only games already on NSO (someone mentioned Panel de Pon).
Because Panel De Pon is a kids game that a grade schooler can read. We aint't gonna have a full blown JRPG on NSO WW.
Mother 3 is also a kids game
It's a JRPG.
Enemies are alien israelite troons. Westoids just feel it's too close home.
Iwata was fricking based even on wiiu failure he throwed money at Xenoblade X, Bayonetta2, W101 and Fatal Frame V bikini edition. It will be most hardcore nintendo console ever. FFV bikinis are super sexy they couldn't be ported and game got censored on western release. Niintendo slop was better with Iwata.
prease undastando smaru nihon counturi
anon the translations been out for a fricking decade if you really want to play it in english just get the translated rom
>BUT I WAN SUPPORT GOYTENDO
they dont give a shit about you if they wanted to translate this they would have by now but they dont intend to and this seals the deal so just go play the translated rom
nearly two decades!
time flies holy shit man
Why bother bringing Mother 3 to the US/EU when there is already an English translation of it made by the people for years?
There's already an English translation.
get fricked basedboys
The game is in english already
>b-b-but muh official
moron, a soulless official translation will ALWAYS be inferior to a passion project that took it's sweet time.
Except the passion project is illegal
I want a way to play mother 3 legally
>It's not official if I can't pay Nintendo for a game which creator has left the studio ages ago
Irrelevant. After I left prison, I found the bible and God. Stealing is a sin, and I wish to live my life as pure as I can from now on rather than sink back into the misery which I was in before.
I don't wish ill upon Nintendo, but I don't care about them. I care about following the lessons of our lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore I'd like to be able to purchase this game legally.
>After I left prison
Well at least we know your moronation comes from being a Black person
Well I found spiderman and I trust him more.
They're on the same level of fiction anyway.
>I care about following the lessons of our lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ has already taught you that pirating is not stealing through the miracle of the bread and fish. Or do you sincerely believe the milling and fishing industries were robbed from his efforts?
who cares about legality
Just buy a copy of the game then
Problem solved
i bet you didn't touch any of the persona games until they got Switch ports too you fricking goober
I don't play games outside of Nintendo consoles. No need.
Not him, but I've been prioritizing the Switch for games and the sole PC game I'm looking forward this year is EDF6.
there is nothing illegal about the fan translation, you're just dumb and lazy
>legally obtain a japanese copy of mother 3 for the GBA
>get a DS flashcart
>use DS flashcart and original DS/DS Lite to dump ROM from your copy of Mother 3
>patch with fan translation
>play it however you want
Why do you give a shit that it was never localized? Are this desperate for a reason to give money to Nintendo? You can play it in English RIGHT NOW FOR FREE.
Anon, please, it's Nips.
Fan translation.
Play the fan patch
>B-BUT I NEED TO GIVE MONEY TO BINGTENDO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
good luck with the troonslators at NoA that refuse to touch the game lmfao.
>WHAT THE FRICK IS WRONG WITH THESE asiaticS
Literally nothing. The game has trannies in it, who are not praised as the greatest things ever. They're men larping as women without taking HRT getting a hatched job or getting some womens breasts cut off so some troony can sew them on and make them part black,arab or south American making them trans-POC.
The only way mother 3 could get an offical translation is if they not only re-wrote plot but also edited the trannies spites so they are the most beautiful women and strongest non-pro/antagonist characters in the game. Said trannies would have to save everyone and be the most important aspect of the game. Everyones beloved female party member would have to be turned into a troony with new art and completely re-written reminding you they are trans and a powerful woman in every scene. And how superior they are every woman in the game along with everyone else because they are the chosen people.
Nintendo would never do this. And re-releasing the game is gonna be funny causing massive seeth with fans as they cant say the only reason why the game cant get an ENG release is due to trannies. They will cope and seeth being delusional trying to come up with all sorts of reasons why nintendo wont give a western release of the game.
They're inspired by transvestites, not trannies. The fact everyone sees them as trannies now is honestly hilarious.
Treehouse did this to fricking Pikmin 2 of all games last year. Could you imagine what they'd do if they got their hands on Mother 3? You don't want this.
What's the original script?
Anon, come on. Don't tell me you really think current day localizers are going to revise something to make it more accurate?
>The series that makes husbands cry is now available! Women will be delighted, men will cry, and expensive israeliteelry will be sold to their wives!
I'm asking in case it was a Paper Mario situation where the original English localization was wrong to begin with but people give it a pass because it's what they grew up with.
>NoA is still baiting Amerifats 18 years later
OH NO NO NO HAHAHAHA
MOTHER 3 WAS ANNOUNCED IN 1999
YOU'VE HAD LIKE 25 YEARS TO LEARN ENOUGH MOON TO PLAY IT ON NSO
A QUARTER OF A CENTURY
homosexual
I've only been a live for ten yers. Get off my gyaat.
Abayo
because the game makes fun of trannies and NOA is scared
It's heckin transphobic
You think we want a straight blonde haired male protagonist in the west, you chud? Think a-fricking -gain.
Jesus frick please don't. We don't need more people playing it.
Ok, it's Japan only, which is good, but still, there was no need for this.
music copyright
Black person. Koreans are asiatics and zipperheads. Bukkake Warriors are Japs you fricking shitposter.
In what universe do you to expect Nintendo to put money into a twentyfive year old online gimmick release and how delusional are you to think Nintendo whould use a fan-patch?
The Magypsys are adult men with make-up
Mother 3 was designed for be full 3D in Nintendo n64, the GBA release is a inferior port. We dont know if the GBA game is a 100% adaptation or only before of the timeskip of Tazmily Village.
>GBA release is a inferior port
The GBA is what saved it. I'm glad it didn't turn into 3D slop.
What's next?

The fan translation has been available fot 16 years.
>no you don't understand, I NEED to pay nintendo for a censored version!!!
yes
I need to PAY so they can make more MOTHER fricking games you moron
Itoi doesn't want to make any more games so it's not gonna happen regardless of how much money you try to throw at Nintendo moron.
I don't care what the creator wants. What matters is what I want, because I'm me, and me is more important than not me. I want ten billion Mother games and I want them yesterday.
Give it 10 more years and AI will generate all the Mother games you want :^)
No, I want Nintendo to make them. AI doesn't give me the gratification of seeing people bend over backwards in futile attempts to please me even though I have no intention to ever let them succeed.
I absolutely agree, but what you want isn't what I want, so I completely disagree
>I don't care what the creator wants. What matters is what I want, because I'm me, and me is more important than not me. I want ten billion Mother games and I want them yesterday.
Remakes are an option.
Stop pushing for remakes, the original games play fine, even Mother 1.
the fricking guy doesn’t want to make more you dumb Black person
Mother concluded, there's no need for a new game. No, Mother doesn't need remakes, it's fine as is.
>I need to PAY
lol
>so they can make more MOTHER fricking games
LMAO
>I love the Mother series and all it stands for
>Also frick Itoi stupid ass asiatic I wanna CONSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Black person ass b***h.
If you actually liked the series you'd respect the original creation's intention.
>I need to PAY so they can make more MOTHER fricking games you moron
Itoi has no desire to make a Mother 4 you dumb Black person. Do you even PLAY these games or are you jumping on a bandwagon?
There will not be an official Mother 4, because the series is finished.
If anything, wait and hope for the Mother 4 fan project to finish.
?si=DzpJmvwsIB2ne9Qe
>project proclaiming itself as THE sequel
garbage
you can claim whatever the frick you want after the creator's announced he's done imo
using the original name is cringe. make a spiritual sequel.
i simply choose to disregard fanmade vaporware sequels
You moron.
Black person its called mother 4, Name it something else.
I know you seethe at Zelda and pokemon hacks as well.
I have no expectations anymore.
Just hope it releases.
nintendo fans are genuinely the most moronic people on the planet
Itoi says it's over so it's over. NoA missed the boat on people who give a shit about playing it paying for it so they deserve the lack of payment. I really enjoyed 3 and still replay it every two or three years, but I'm not going to pay the people who actively failed to put it out officially in English for the last 18 years.
Censor what? The leftist LGBT stuff that made you seethe? The villains being fat white people that made you seethe?
Shame Reggie never keeled over.
yeah but we got killer instinct and blast corps and that rocks.
Still annoyed at no Diddy Kong Racing, especially when Mario Kart 8 ended its Booster Course Pass, it wouldn’t cannibalize it.
Oh its a tree I always thought this was rust on the logo
You Americans don’t deserve Mother 3 after how you all slept on Earthbound. The frick do you expect?
IT WAS JP ONLY HAHAHAHAHA
THIS SHIT IS NEVER SEEING THE LIGHT OF DAY IN THE WEST
Iwata believed in the west.
>pushed GameFreak to actually finish their bug testing instead of releasing unfinished crap
>pushed Monolith to actually finish their stories instead of sequel-baiting some convoluted bullshit that may never come to fruition
>pushed the west to actually try new things instead of getting complacent with the few ultra-big Nintendo IPs
>took a pay cut during a downswing to keep the talent paid
>fricking Panel de Pon made out it out of Japan before Mother 3
Panel de Pon doesn't have trannies in it.

homie I've had mine for well over 7 years and I've beaten it twice on it. They're perfectly fine.
>excited about a 50 year old game
do tendies really?
Zoomers don't play old games.
Zoomers have the fastest times in SMB1 and completely dominate the NES Tetris scene. Boomers are bad at games and would rather complain about them than play them.
>and completely dominate the NES Tetris scene
There's a crop of Gen Alphas that are grinding to overtake them soon.
>zoomers
>when the top players are under 15
Gen alpha will never be the Black person slop you gen gays are, stop trying
Just play the fan translation already you fricks, it's better than any hackjob Treehouse would put out. And while you're at it play the ones for FE 3-6, Chibi Robo 3, F-Zero Climax, Marvelous, Sutte Hakkun, For the Frog the Bells Toll, the first Starfy, Tomato Adventure, Magical Vacation, ASH, Soma Bringer, Captain Rainbow, and Zangeki no Reginliev, they're good games.
>Just play the fan translation already you fricks
Bro you know Tendies can't do that. Doing so is violating a core tenent of their religion.
is not even that great
>games you could emulate even on your phone decades ago
who cares
Nah, I'm just keep playing emulated version for free. Or play with my unoffical kart of it.
Frick you Nintentdo
>this is what japan got
>meanwhile we got 5 shitty games that are only "good" because they're made by the lords of overrated shovelware, rare

okay, that's fricking it. You and me, behind the school 3 o'clock, i'm gonna kick your ass.
>Nintendo is gatekeeping us from this gem from us yet again
No I’m not playing Tomato’s translation and I don’t give a shit about what Twitter thinks about the Magypsies, JUST RELEASE THE DAMN GAME ALREADY
>NO! I WON'T play the only English patch in 18 years.
Learn moon runes then baka. Cause this is basically the nail in the coffin that this is never coming out in the west.
implying the official translation will be accurate to the fan patch with woke localizers these days lol
dogshittendo gays are so mentally ill
they really want to give money to play some dogshit game that isnt even available in their region
I actually don't even like Mother 3 all that much.. The tone is way different than the other games in the series, the ending especially. It's a real kick in the dick.
it was kino and elder god tier
sure it was dark as frick but I liked it
you have to be 18 to post here
>underage saying elden god tier
bro just let it go, zoomers don't like JRPGs and they sure as hell don't know what earthbound is.
its a high quality rpg, but its not as specials as a game like earthbound, if it were not called mother 3 i would probably be nicer to the game
I enjoyed Earthbound: I think it really encapsulates the feeling of being kids navigating the big world...But mother 3 is way better.
Better visuals and QOL improvements are an obvious benefit of hardware improvements, but I think the OST for mother 3 is superior to. The characters actually have character which interact with the world around them rather than 4 mute homies with little to no personality getting talked at going through the motions. I also appreciate the narrative as while there are differences between Mother 1 and 2, they feel somewhat samey in terms of narrative.
You Dont understand earthbound to think that they are comparable. They are both different types of games man.
Alright, I'll bite. How so?
Because mechanically wise, they're the same. Mother 3 has a more linear story, but there are times when you can go back to old areas and do optional stuff. Earthbound is suppose to be a more open world, but there's very little reason to backtrack outside of game progression; I can think of 2 "side quests" off the top of my head and they do nothing.
earthbound really excels at making you feel like youre growing up, with its changing environments and progresion. i cant describe it too well because i havent played the game in like 4 months, but there really arent any games that just compare to it, a lot of these "earthbound-likes" are more mother 3 inspired than earthbound, plus earthbounds ost is more creative and the story is a lot more cooler with how its not in your face really (compared to mother 3)
I agree that it's one of the only games to give you that feeling and that a lot of Mother-likes like to reference the "quirky" side of Mother (prevalent in Mother 3) but disagree with everything else:
Agree to disagree!
I don't see Mother 3 as being better. The game was a lot more railroaded to me compared to Earthbound.
But that isn't a bad thing? Mother 3 has a much more involved story, which is why the game is linear as a result.
Even then, while it might lose the illusion of a big open world like Earthbound, it ironically has more optional stuff to go and do than Earthbound.
earthbound was also on rails as frick, mother 1 is the only nonlinear game and it's one of the worst parts about it
>But that isn't a bad thing?
No. I want to have the freedom to explore and discover rather than the game forcefully show me things. This is why BotW/TotK are the best Zelda games ever made.
You also have the option to go and do some needles out of order even if it's not recommended.
already played the fan-translation so I don't really need an official release unless it adds more content like more Nana, I liked her
I don't dislike Mother 3 but I think Earthbound is a more memorable experience and I personally liked it better
Mother 3 had a more emotionally engaging story but 2 had the better sense of childlike adventure
This was cool.
i cried, Sorry!
>日本語を読めない
The absolute state
If this game doesn't use Kanji a lot I'se screwed
The mystique and running gag of this game not being localized will keep people playing and talking about it for far longer than if it ever did officially release worldwide
Oh stop b***hing about this already
You all know, every single one of you, that if there was an official translation you'd all hate it and just tell people "Download the ROM and emulate it, it's better."
And Nintendo knows this too. Every single person that wants to play Mother 3 in English has the best version, better than what Nintendo would do. So what the hell are you b***hing about?
I bet she fricks like a BearTiger
It's just performative, they don't want to actually play it. It's like that "huge Earthbound fan excited to play it for the first time" meme
if copyright/twitter troons were such a concern, a cool way to navigate through that criticism is by adding an english language option in the mother 3 jp nso rom, so people that want to play can just make a jap account. i dont know if thats possible though from a technical sense and a business sense.
Honestly is there anyway for Nintendo to release a Tomato tier M3 translation without it being M Rated?
I feel like that's the only real issue.

What annoys me is how much fricked up shit kids are exposed to in America that are seen as totally okay just because theyre presented behind a thin veneer of infantilization. Five Nights at Freddie's and shit like that. And even Undertale that gets away with doing fricked up stuff because it's to monsters.
Meanwhile in games like Mother 3 despite the setting being so crazy and fantastical, the fact that they take the serious things that happen 100% seriously is what makes it controversial.
If the animal abuse still happened but wasn't as realistic it would be fine.
If samba wasn't a monkey but some made up creature or would be fine.
If instead of mushrooms Lucas ate some made up fantasy drug it'd be fine.
If the magypsies didn't look human and were made up creatures it would be fine.
It's like they're only against mature topics when they come close to resembling real life issues.
How fricked are we when MOTHER 3 of all things is too realistic a portrayal of issues for kids to be exposed to but everything else on the internet is not?
You're 100% right but that's just the hypocritical, surface level, skin deep world we live in sadly anon
Mother 3 didn't come out in the age of iPad children who's parents don't really love them. If it released in the exact same state as a $10 Steam indie game, it would be the next FOTM.
>It's good
>Because
>LE UGLY CHARACTERS
>LE EMOTIONS
Yawn. Boring.
Shit game
Magypsies aren't even really a negative stereotype they're depicted as wise sage figures who put aside themselves for the greater good
there's a bunch shit that would that get canned or changed
it's not one thing
I don't see the big deal with showing some real life africans.
>the only black on the white ship, which was probably a technological marvel since they have tech that can store and erase minds permanently
>when his mind was erased, he was fitted to become a fricking tribal stereotype
It's such a fricked up detail, Jesus Christ lmao.
Don’t forget that NPC that looks like Mr. T
the only thing i can see getting changed regarding magypsies is lucas getting held underwater sith some slightly sexual dialogue to stress him into his psychic powers working
magypsies are otherwise treated as a /misc/ wet dream. they stay far away from humans but aren't averse to visitors coming of their own accord, they're regarded as weird, they say themselves they aren't human, kumatora was raised by them but is still a frickin' based tomboy, they're actively hunted down by pigmasks after the masked man is added to their ranks, they're DEAD FOREVER when their needle is pulled, and fassad "detransitioned" into a man (by taking off his makeup and did nothing else)
but it isn't played as mean, it isn't given undue attention, fhere isn't a fat neckbeard seething about troons in the writing staff. it's just transgender stereotypes being given a seven sages role and played straight and for laughs at the same time
>There are "people" that still won't download the rom
EOPs on suicide watch
Hearing how the Mother series inspired Undertale stopped me from playing these games up until last year.
How can such comfy games inspire one of the gaygiest games and fanbases of the last 10 years?
Undertale was made for the western audiences only
That's the difference
lol japs fricking love toby
westaboos aren't regular japs
Nintendo has contracted Toby to make soundtracks for their games, guess they are a western company too
>pokemon sword and shield
come the frick on homie
>Pokemon is not Nintendo
When is the PC and PS5 port?
I said it was made for the western audiences appeal only
Japanese are way more open minded into everything and loved Undertale more than the westards
>and fanbases
moron ALERT
Undertale is it's own thing in and of itself, but it can never compare to any actual Earthbound game. It's like eating salty fries and then eating chocolate and claiming they're the same thing.
I played the EN translation patch and had fun, why are tendies so autistic for wanting to have an official translation?
this. I think it would be fun if it happened, but I think it would succeed in nothing, since people who wanted to play it, already played it.
BRING OVER MOTHER 3 REEEEEEE is a meme almost as old as M3 itself
We've had a bunch of old games that was locked onto roms and old consoles so it wouldn't be odd to hope for a modern release of M3. Problem being: the game has always been a lost cause. Nintendo ain't going to touch it with a 10 foot pole.
Honestly I don't even care if we get an official EN release. It's just that the reasons that we haven't piss me off.
In the same way that I don't actually give a shit if a game censors panty shots but the reasons why they were censored annoy me.
It's soulless corporate suits deciding that they know what's better for a country or speakers of a particular language than the person who created the game.
nobody is withholding mother 3 from the west out of malice you egotistical moron
Lol, my post isn't coming from the perspective of cultural war shit. I haven't been on Ganker for a while so I forgot how common that is.
I don't think they're withholding mother 3 out of some woke agenda, but because they are uncomfortable with the content.
They literally already have a translation and could probably easily pull a Trails from Zero and get it used officially. There's clearly /some/ demand for Mother 3 overseas and if they're willing to remake fricking Mario RPG I don't see why applying an existing patch to mother 3 would be some kind of financial risk.
The reason that they haven't brought it over yet is because the aging boomers in charge of localization are uncomfortable with the content of the game.
there's little or nothing uncomfortable about it without also being terminally online and this extends to the boomers you're thinking of
holy autism
You need to get your head out of the culture war nonsense.
>Toby Fox requested to localize Live A Live instead of Mother 3
It's a classic but he could've pushed Nintendo to localize it
Live A Live is better, Toby Fox made the right call
Toby Fox could’ve been more based and picked up on Mother4/Oddity
>mother 3 localized
>"ayo this shit censored"
>protagonist has an intact family (at first)

You have to choose either the red pill or the blue pill Ganker.
1. Mother 3 gets an official english translation, but a significant amount of depth is cut from the game in an attempt to make it palatable to a western audience.
2. Mother 3 official english translation never ever.
2
we already FRICKING HAVE A TRANSLATION
Do people really want an official Nintendo translation knowing how much they like their "artistic liberties"?
>/pol/tards still think the Magypsies are preventing the localization
200 posts and not a single person mentioned the real reason its untranslated, which is that the soundtrack has an enormous amount of uncleared samples, including directly ripping the melody from a Beatles song in one of the shop themes, it does this way more than EB does and while it can fly in the more lenient jap copyright system if it came to the west it'd get nailed.
surely this is just an inside joke at nintendo corporate by this point, right?
Seems so based on how cheekily Reggie mentions it even way after the fact
Either you play the fan translation or you learn Japanese to play the original. There was no way Mother 3 was ever going to be localized all the way back when and it's definitely impossible now.
Everyone who cares even a little about Mother 3 already played it with the fan translation, why would you even want an official release? Just to complain that the localization is different and then say you aren't going to buy it in protest? It's not even like the series has any chance of continuing to want to show support for
at this point Im just going to download it for emulator. frick nintendo. I would support it if they would just translate it.
>no physical M1+M2+M3 release even in JP
I fricking hate these temporary online services so fricking much. REMEMEBER WII SHOP YOU WILL OWN NOTHING
>captcha WTJRPG
there's a 0% chance any official translation would be better than the fan translation
there's literally no excuse your toaster can run a GBA emu to play it
>people still pissing and shitting themselves over not getting an official translation of this game
I'm not even mad anymore, mostly just disappointed. they've had 15 years to play a fan translation that's better than any official localization could hope to be but they think that isn't good enough for some reason. You don't see me crying that nintendo hasn't localized pokemon TCG2 to put on NSO, because I played that years ago with a fan patch.
>mother fan excited to play mother 3 for the first time
eathbound is top shelf in fandoms full of the most no games posers
Reggie raping us from retirement.
Pirating Nintendo games is always right, THOUGHEVER.
Mother 3 is great, played it when the fan patch came out, and honestly at this point it's just funny if they don't ever port it.
And they keep making jokes about it.
>tendies want to donate money to a billion dollar corporation
You can't make this shit up.
everyone talks about the magypsieps or whatever but also forget all the other fricked up shit, like child suicide, mushroom bad trip island or the absolutely safe capsule
Earthbound gave me an existential crisis, I was expecting a 50's movies style invasion, but I got greeted by a cutesy game with bright colors, then I got to the kidnapping part, and the end is specially eerie, you need to rip your mind apart to save the world, you can wander around leveling up preparing but the thought of inevitable doom never leaves. It didn't help that I played it as a kid entering puberty, the entire world was changing.
I honestly don't understand how the frick that inspired undertale, it's absolutely nothing alike, maybe toby is moronic and never understood the concept.
>B-BUT MUH MUSIC
It's a goddamn GBA game! This isn't fricking 2003 anymore, it wouldn't be hard or cost that much to change a few music tracks, hell they could've gotten Toby Fox to rearrange it for free clout and it wouldn't have broken the bank.
Don't you fricking sit there and lie and say it was the music that keeping the game from being seen on western shores.
People would cry bloody murder that the game is being censored if they changed the music.
It's a lose-lose.
They would've gotten over, plus there's still the Tomato translation.
That is not an excuse
They'd still whine and spam the fan translation in every thread.
Still not an excuse
>caring about casuals playing mother 3
if they actually rereleased it with all of the neccessary censorship, you are encouraging even more annoying homosexuals to get into mother 3. its already obnoxious with the game only having a fan translation
It's the principle of it. I'm mad at Nintendo for being lazy and shitting down our throats and then expecting us to be thankful for it
Their NSO service is already a fricking joke and I wouldn't recommend it over getting these games for free anywhere else via emulators
bro the music ties directly into the gameplay as well with the rhythm game thing, they'd have to reprogram the battles around new tracks
>NOOOOO, DON'T MAKE THIS MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO EFFORT
There entire communities that hack games from the ground up to make something new from them. Don't tell me Nintendo is incapable of doing something like that better fit their own fricking game. They could even get Shogo Sakai to make new songs for it, I'm sure he's not busy right now.
This is such a lame and bullshit excuse
nta but no one trying to argue that it'd be impossible, simply that it's a frickton of effort for a game in a series that is ultimately niche (no matter what terminally online communities would lead you to believe) and has had readily available fan translations for well over a decade.
>frickton of effort
Anon. this is a fricking GBA game we're talking about. A game that can be played on the most outdated potatoes and brick phones. It would NOT take that much effort or money on Nintendo's part to tweak it for international release, and being niche is irrelevant since I've seen far more niche games get released and translated.
Stop making excuses for them.
The effort isn't in making the localization, it's in hiring some California trans lator to make the translation and then hiring some butt monkey manager to review. Both having 100k/yr salaries of course.
And how is that any different from any other game these days? Don't get me wrong, I don't think the translation would be good, let alone on Tamato's level, or that you should pay 50 smackums for it instead of getting the ROM for free online. But I'm more mad Nintendo isn't even trying, which is something I expect from NSO at this point.
It's the principle of it. I'm
Obviously "frickton" is relative, in this case it simply means "far more than most games looking to be localized" nowadays. Any effort past what's standard needed to localize instantly puts it under a scope. People act like larger gaming companies having more resources means they should be more blasé and thus should take more risks, but it instead means more eyes higher up are on any given endeavor and it needs to prove that it'd be either profitable or baseline beneficial in a way that makes the result worth the effort.
I'm not making excuses for them, if I had any sway it would've been localized years ago. I'm simply saying that Nintendo has little to no actual reason to do so for a litany of factors and thus I'm not surprised or offended that they, indeed, haven't done so-especially since I played the game for free close to a decade ago at this point (and I'm assuming anyone who gives enough of a shit to advocate for it at this point has too, especially on this site).
It costs more than the alternative, which is not wasting money to translate a niche old game
So "frickton" in this case is literally any kind of effort at all? Cool. glad we can agree on that. And all that jargon you said, just tells me Nintendo doesn't give a shit about their old games or NSO in general, which I already knew, so yeah, thanks for telling me what I can plainly see
And you are making excuses, that's all any of these explainations are at this point. Excuses, and frankly offeneded people try to use it as a legitmate way to say how Nintendo "can't" do this and that, when they obviously can.
>Excuses, and frankly offeneded people try to use it as a legitmate way to say how Nintendo "can't" do this and that, when they obviously can.
They can do whatever the frick they want, they're a multi-billion dollar company who still has very good relations with the man who holds the rights to the series. I'm simply not expecting them to do anything given every factor surrounding the game's potential localization, and since I recognize that, I didn't have my fragile sensibilities irritated at the prospect that they'll continue to do what they've been doing for 18 years at this point.
I played the game, loved it, talked about it, etc. etc., so I'm content. I don't need my passion for a product to be validated by a big company acknowledging it's existence.
I wasn't expecting them to do anything either, because this isn't the first time they've done this and replaced actual good games with shovelware. This is just one of the few times people share in my anger.
>They can do whatever the frick they want, they're a multi-billion dollar company who still has very good relations with the man who holds the rights to the series
All the more reason to be mad at them when they do dumb shit like this.
Again. I wasn't expecting them to actually localize or release Mother 3, it was fully expecting them to replace it shovelware, which they did (sorry, most of Rare's pre-N64 days games sans DKC is dogshit)
I am just sick and tired of Nintendo's brazen laziness for most of their older games, that they won't even lift a finger for them. Mother 3 is the just most recent and famous example of this, but there are others, believe you me.
>he thinks 3D rare is better than 2D rare
lol sheep
Yes anon, tell me how much you love Rattle and Roll and fricking Super Glove Ball
>picks the worst examples
Oh I'm sorry, should I have mentioned Wheel of Fortune and Beetlejuice too? How about Monster Max? Or R.C. Pro Aim?
the main effort that would for localizing Mother 3 wouldn't be translating it but coding it. Mother 3 has a lot of weird menu/textbox/font issues and you know they won't use Tomato's work/tools. It's not like they can just go in a file, translate the text and then the game is in English.
>Nintendo is a massive company with lots of money, they could do it
sure, they could, but there's not much reason to.
+ some more people might sub to NSO
- probably a negligible amount. Already a niche game with a small audience made even smaller by everybody already having played it
+ good publicity for a week or so
- but also bad publicity for how they translate/censor/not censor certain things. You can never please everyone but the existence of the fan translation makes it much easier to compare it to something.
- they have to hire people to code it
- they aren't selling it for money, it's just another title on NSO
that's without even getting into any legal stuff
Again, we're talking about a GBA game. And we're also talking about a multi-billion dollar company. And we're also talking about things they've had no trouble with in the past and either didn't give a shit then, or blew right past.
This isn't some huge undertaking. This is Nintendo not doing to basic amount of effort
And if they can't be bothered with a fricking GBA game. Why should we assume anything less their other games and re-releases. Hell, we've seen that mentality before, should I remind you of all the Mario sports games that came out half baked? Or Mario All-Stars? Or fricking everything about modern Pokemon
No matter how you slice it, it sets a bad precedent.
No one reply to this troony, he's been making a big stink in the thread since he has no idea how money works. Anyone with a sense of reason knows Nintendo has no reason to localize Mother 3. An HD remake would be more cost beneficial, and that won't happen either.
>Don't reply because it offends me
homosexual
I'm telling them not to do it because you're a waste of time and energy where even a kid would understand the concepts people have been saying this entire fricking thread.
I'll take my (you) you're about to give me.
it being a GBA game doesn't make it any easier, it probably makes it harder actually. I have no idea what the frick you mean by effort. Some things are worth effort and some things aren't. Mother 3 isn't. It would probably set a worse precedent for shareholders if Nintendo put "effort" into every single project they possibly could that isn't worth it and financially damage the company, making them less able to apply effort where it would be better used.
Anon, I shouldn't need to tell you this. But there are plenty of people who know how to work with 16 and 32 bit games in the industry right now, it isn't some dying art, there are game studios who work exclusively in that, mostly because it's cheaper than working in full 3D these days, and the GBA isn't hard console to work with.
What you're suggesting is they can't and won't do any kind of effort for it whatsoever, which is shit no matter how you look at it. It would neither be hard nor expensive for them to do any kind of changes they deem nessicary for international release, they just don't care.
And that's the biggest thing here, technicaly issues are one thing, but there is no justified excuse for this level of apathy. It almost seems malicious and spiteful at this point. Nintendo KNOWS how much people want the game, they know it wouldn't cost much to do something with it, they just don't care and that is shit
I never said they can't do it, just that it isn't worth it. If it was coding a game from scratch that's one thing, but it's working with pre-existing code and trying to not break anything. Yeah, they could do it. No, it wouldn't be a titanic, near impossible effort. But there's just no incentive to do it. The amount of money and effort it would take is greater than the projected reward for doing it because the projected reward for doing it is incredibly low.
And that's the thing. Any "risk" it has is virtually non-existant, any amount of money would be offset by the sales of NSO, and wouldn't scratch the dick of the budget of the actual games they have coming forward, and I imagine wouldn't take that much if any time away from them, they could fricking out source translation and coding duties and wouldn't make a dent in Nintendo's overall budget. The issue is exactly that they won't. Because, just based on what we've seen, they don't care. And that is a issue, Nintendo taking the laziest route possible, because literally any kind of effort would be too much, no matter small. And again, this reflects poorly, it's a bad precedent. Nintendo is having pay 50 dollars for this shit, why shouldn't they be held to some kind of standard for it?
Hell, for as little effort as they could've done, it could've saved the direct (which was agressively dull) in the eyes of many people, and they couldn't even do that. Because they were lazy, the smallest amount of effort was too much for them. Why shouldn't they get called out for that?
I think you overestimate how many people would subscribe to NSO + for Mother 3 and underestimate how much money and work it would take to localize it.
Even IF, it didn't get a single new subscriber, it wouldn't cost them that much to offset it. You are overestimating how expensive this would be, I can safely say it probably wouldn't even put a scratch on Nintendo's bottom line, especially with stupidly popular the Switch has been for 7 fricking years
I don't believe it would have a significant impact on their bottom line but I do think it would be a waste of time, money and effort. It doesn't have to bankrupt the company for it to be an unappealing proposition, and there are so many other things like Mother 3 that would offer little to no return as well. Is the precedent that you want set that they should waste their resources on every little project like that to show that they care?
Again. You're basically saying "any kind of effort is too much". How do you not see how fricking backwards and reductive this is? This isn't even even just a Mother issue, which I have also said.
You are giving them a free pass to not give a shit, and spit in the eye of the customer.
spitting in the eye of the customer would be asking Tomato to no longer provide the fan translation without any plans on localizing the game themselves. That would be backwards.
Demanding that they localize a niche GBA game to add to a service, which has had a fan translation that's readily available for well over a decade because not doing it would be lazy is reductive
The tomato translation has been out in the wild for years, even if Nintendo somehow got away with doing something, it'd be out again in a dozen different places ready for download.
People are still paying 50 dollars for their shitty service, not having games for it is absolutely a spit in the eye. And AGAIN, you are missing the point, this is not just a Mother issue, this is something that extends to entire goddamn company, this isn't just about the translated ROM of one GBA jrpg.
I don't really understand your point about people rehosting the patch. Yeah obviously they can't erase it forever, but it would be a shitty thing to do.
also, just unsub from the service you moron. It's for kids who were too young to have an n64
I don't believe I am missing the point. You want them to spend a bunch of resources on projects with little to no return to show that they care. That's the point, right?
It would be a shitty thing to do, but not unexpected. Nintendo has never liked emulation when it wasn't under their control, why do you think NSO exists? Because normalgays are too stupid to download an emulator and find the ROMS free online
And also, I don't the service you dipshit. But that doesn't mean the kids who do have to settle for it being bad.
>You want them to spend a bunch of resources on projects with little to no return to show that they care
Little back handed on the wording, but yes, to have value for the service and simple presveration. Also, it's not a "bunch of resources" we've been over this, you even admited it wouldn't cost that much or be that much effort for them. This isn't some huge undertaking, it's slightly more than the bare minimum
so it's okay for them to take down the fan translation because it's expected, but it's not okay for them to not localize games well over a decade old even though that's just as, if not more expected?
Also, you keep flip flopping, are we only talking about Mother 3 or every little project they can possibly undertake? Because it if's only Mother 3 then yes, I admit, it would not be "a bunch of resources" but that's not what you want, you want them to put resources into as many financially unviable projects as possible and those will add up, and their inevitable failures will be unattractive to shareholders compounding the loss they'd make in actually bothering with that shit
I never said it would be okay, you're words in my mouth you dipshit. Just that Nintendo would do something like that, if they haven't tried already.
And the issue that they're actively choosing not to localize a game they know people want.
>Also, you keep flip flopping, are we only talking about Mother 3 or every little project they can possibly undertake? Because it if's only Mother 3 then yes, I admit, it would not be "a bunch of resources" but that's not what you want, you want them to put resources into as many financially unviable projects as possible and those will add up
The FRICK are you talking about? I'm not saying Nintendo should spend money on projects frivously, but to just put some fricking effort in.
You misrepresenting my post and strawmanning it. Also stop talking like you're a fricking corpo suit,what benifit them, does not benifit any of us.
As I said, the Mother franchise is not established overseas. Japanese people go :O when they hear about Mother because it's very popular there.
Whining about Mother 3 not getting localized is pathetic. If you love the games, the translation is available and better than what Nintendo could ever produce.
>You are giving them a free pass to not give a shit, and spit in the eye of the customer.
You misunderstand. I commend them for not bringing Mother 3 to the west officially. It would be doing disservice to the game.
You are really missing the bigger picture here. This isn't just about Mother 3 not getting localized when it really should've by now
This is about Nintendo and the utter apathy they have for their own games and the people who buy them.
I already have Mother 3 physically and on ROM translated, I don't care about playing it on NSO "offically" even if it did by some miracle made it. But I do take issue with Nintendo actively not caring with their own IP or their fans
The Mother trademark is owned by Itoi and Nintendo, so it doesn't fully belong to them. I'm not sure how much this changes things, but Itoi can at least keep selling Mother merch without Nintendo being mentioned (as far as I remember).
>Nintendo and the utter apathy they have for their own games
So
>corporation: *does corporation thing*
>consoomer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY IS CORPORATION LIEK THIS THIS SI NOW WHAT WE DESRVE REEEEEEE *hands corporation a wad of cash while choking on his own snot*
It seems you are kinda deluded about the nature of Nintendo and expect it to be something you want it to be rather than what it is.
I don't expect anything. Corporations are not my friends. I like it when they do something good, but I expect the worst.
As you can see, you can enjoy and even buy the game or merch if you want to. I absolutely couldn't care less if there's no official localization for a game. What I care about is whether I get to enjoy it or not.
You're so close to getting. Corporations AREN'T our friends, I didn't expect anything either. But that does not mean we shouldn't hold them accountable, the lack of a Mother 3 localization stems from a far bigger issue of Nintendo showing a complete disregard for their own older games, espeically in the west, taking the laziest and cheapest route possible
And Itoi is non-factor in this. The would give it for free himself if it wasn't under IP laws and shit, so that leaves Nintendo to face blame, which they should.
Corporations acting like corpoations is bad thing, and we should call them out for that. How does giving them a pass help anything? Just waving your hands in the air and surrendering to their bullshit? If people had that mentality Project Rainfall would've never gotten off the ground and Xenoblade wouldn't have left Japan or Europe.
No, the only reason the Mother series is well known in Japan is because Shigesato Itoi's name is on it & he's a huge celebrity over there. The series is not as popular over there as you think it is.
Nintendo's stance is clear and reasonable. It would take some effort, probably not very much, but still significant effort to translate the game. The Mother franchise overseas is not the staple that it is in Japan. The only reason they released Mother 1 in English is because they already did the translation 30 years ago.
The whole localization process is probably not worth it.
>Toby Fox
no john undertale needs to frick off from nintendo games he already ruined pokemon's soundtrack in SV
>It's the content
>It's the music
The real reason is that they're not going to waste money localizing an old as frick niche GBA game, your only chance is the game getting a remake
Eh, I trust more the troonymericans getting offended narrative.
Didn't an old SNES game get translated somewhat recently, too? I don't remember if it was a game from the Mana series.
I need a Kumatora gf
me too
Kumatora is 14
No she's not? She was old enough to work at a Hooters and Duster's meant to be in his 20s
She's in her 20s but wouldn't frick anyway

Who cares? 1 is the only good Mother game
Believe in my prophetic dreams, it's coming.
Give us 64 you cowards.
It probably wasn't very good, but I still wish it was leaked or something.
surprised nothing of it rose up when the big nintendo leak happened a couple years ago
I remember hearing that that was only a small portion of what they got, and a lot of stuff still hasn't been released to this day.
It's kind of weird how development was too difficult being in 3D when it was at a time where developing 3D games was difficult for everyone, but they just did it anyway.
Wasn't everything from E64 repurposed into M3? It would be the same game, but probably worse since it wasn't even close to being finished.
>it wasn't even close to being finished
It was apparently over 90% finished, it just missed the boat on the N64's lifespan ending before it could release. Miyamoto tried to convince Itoi to put it on GameCube since it was almost done anyways but he was against it.
>Wasn't everything from E64 repurposed into M3?
There are some things from the trailers that we can see never made it into Mother 3, like the minecart segment with Claus. The ending was apparently "darker" too.
Why was Itoi against GC?
If I recall correctly, he was worn out from the long production and was tempted to scrap the whole thing.
Also on looking it up it seems I was wrong about it being so near completion. Rather they had finished all of the groundwork and only the programming was left. Not sure how long that would have taken to finish. I do know that Iwata was able to code EarthBound from scratch in half a year, which was helped by all the sprites being done and the story and soundtrack essentially complete too. But I imagine the programming for an N64 game would be a lot more taxing.
I want the sequels that were cliffhanged at the ends of Mother 1 and 2 personally.

Why are nintendies so obsessed with a mother3 official western release?
If you really cared you would have played the fantranslation 10 years ago and realized that it's the worst mother game in the trilogy
I mean it's obviously better than mother 1
>B-BUT DA SHTORY IS SO GUUUD
not really

Of course it’s Japan only lmao

She’s so cute I want to hug and kiss her
>JP only
wake me up when something new happens
I'm so tired of this song and dance every single time Mother 3 is mentioned. I don't think anyone actually cares about the game itself, they just want to act high and mighty and want to act like it's a big win if it gets ported without actually bothering to play it. If it gets translated by NoA, it'll be butchered meme garbage at best. Nintendo doesn't mention it because they're literally giving you the okay to pirate it, and everyone still complains.
>t. Nintendo doesn't mention it because they're literally giving you the okay to pirate it
That is a very generous way to think about it
and also wrong, but I digress
If Nintendo or Itoi actually cared enough, the fan translation would have been taken down by now. It isn't, they don't care and neither do you. Every time they mentioned it, whether as a joke in the pseudo Robot Chicken skit or on Twitter, should've clued you in that they wanted you to shut up about it.
Nintendo has been trying and failing to take down roms of their shit for years, them masking it with shitty "haha look we know how much you want it" ""jokes""" doesn't change that. And Itoi is the black sheep of Nintendo's corpo world, the man give it for for free across the planet if he could, in a way he would outright approve of it if Nintendo suits didn't have an eye on it
They really haven't attacked the Mother 3 fan translation at all, which is why it's still up. You can make fake scenarios all you want, they do not go for it because they don't want to. If they wanted to, it wouldn't be hard for them to have a lawyer or two nudge the fan translation off. The truth is they don't see a reason to localize it at all, and the game is old at this point so why bother? It's too much work for something they themselves don't care about. The peak of the popularity of Mother 3 passed ages ago. Brawl only had Lucas in it because Samurai assumed it would be localized, and when it didn't, the fan translation happened and everyone was happy. The only people that aren't are weird Nintendo fans that feel the need to buy everything and Twittertards. Anyone that actually wanted to play has played and moved on or played it multiple times. If you cared about Nintendo getting money, you could've bought a Japanese copy ages ago.
They haven't taken that much action because it's bad publicity. Not that that's stopped them before but still
Nintendo wants money, sure, but they're fricking lazy when it comes to anything that isn't 3D or older than the Gamecube, or wasn't made by Miyamoto
Contraray to what you may think, this isn't something unique to Mother as a franchise, there are TONS of games that have no localizations that fans had to take up the work for them, and still either haven't seen western releases, or releases at all after their original console is dead and buried. Do you know how many first party SNES games STILL aren't on their goddamn service, even in Japan?
I don't give a shit about giving Nintendo money. their service is a scam no matter how you choose to look at it. But I really have hard time believing any fan-translation or ROM has their approval, implicit or otherwise, when Nintendo has tried to kill emulation for years
I unironically think we'll get the Tingle games or Captain Rainbow one day before Mother 3
Tingle literally kisses little girls in Balloon Trip of Love and thats probably more socially acceptable than anything in Mother 3
We got Mysterious Murasame Castle and Joy Mech Fight on US NSO before Mother 3
Reminder to everyone ITT that the day before Tomato was sat to release his fan translation he got an email from an ~~*anonymous source*~~ that told him that if he were to release his translation that Mother 3 would never be localized to English officially, and here we still are
It never going to happen regardless
There were constant rumors that NoE would handle it like they did for Xenoblade cause NoA didnt wanna touch either game
Imagine if NoE never took the gamble on Xenoblade
NOA is petty enough to pull some shit like that, but I think they were lying. We still wouldn't have it, even if they complied
Just look at how much they don’t give a frick about Fire Emblem and for good reason.
I don't see what the problem here is. The LITERAL 11 year old girl says it's too soon for them to be lovers.
Dawg Alear quite literally is like "erm w-we can still be "partners" until you're older"
C'mon now
>people b***h about localizing
>turns out the original script has fricked up stuff in the script
>localizers change it in order to avoid controversy
Who is in the wrong here? Because if you ask me, that seems like a company decision. And as far as I know, a LOT of Nintendo games had weirdly pedophilic shit like this or something just as bad. The reason they don't keep it faithful is because NOA knows they'd get eaten alive, and I wish they did just so it could happen. The fact that something like Engage exists even aesthetically in FE's series is genuinely embarassing. I'd want 1:1 translations so we can EXACTLY see what the writers wanted, and then properly shit on them and raise hell if it's an issue.
Go back to Twitter where you belong troon
>defending pedo shit

Clockwork. Pedos should be executed.

Ah sweet irony.
Kumatora is a prostitute in the N64 version
What did they mean by this?
To be fair Mother 64 looks like it was going to be shit
it's like Itoi saw how massive FF7 was and said 'i can do that' and then he couldn't
Mother 64 was dark
Im still hoping for development or beta version of EarthBound64 to appear, regardless of how complete or shit it is.

You're right. Holy shit, take me back, we didn't know how good we had it then
Mother has its 35th Anniversary and Mother 2 has its 30th Anniversary
Ah yes, the classic video game hits like "Sega Saturn" and "Playststion".
They should've put some titles in or something.
Any classic Phantasy Star fans in thread?
Remember Nintendo is Japanese Disney and this is their Song of the South. There I said it.
>Why yes, we are the reason why Mother 3 will never get a official English release! How can you tell?
as an adult, their dialog makes me laugh, and they're actually good characters. problem is they're in a "children's game" according to the insane ratings system everyone has. mother 3 is really dark, but it there's no blood everywhere, so it's for 5 year olds.
It should never get released in the west. None of them ever should have been. The western Mother community was an absolute mistake. If you didn't play the games in the original Japanese, you did NOT really play them. No, Tomato's translations aren't good enough either.
will you teach me japanese?
Redpill me right now how the original translation is superior, because I'm pretty sure every autist has verified that the fan translation was more or less accurate.
But enough about fan translated Fire Emblem games
2 > 1 > 3
why are people complaining about this
mother 3 has had a 1 to1 fan translation for years
>The Tomato translation already exists why are you mad?
>It isn't getting translated because of Trannies
>It isn't getting translated because of the music
>It isn't getting translated because it's niche
>You should be happy Nintendo is lazy
STOP MAKING EXCUSES!
Nintendo should get shit on for this. They have had 18 goddamn years to make it work, they have 7 for specifally the Switch.
Stop acting like there's nothing that can be said about Nintendo's laziness. Stop acting like we should expect or want the localzation even if it ever did come out
Laziness is something we SHOULD hold Nintendo's ass over a fire about! Because it's not just about Mother 3 but goddamn game they've ever made!
>morons genuinely think will put more time and effort into localizing an 18 year old GBA GAME just to appease western manchildren
This is what baffles me about you fricking Black folk. Do you honestly, GENUINELY believe that the company would WASTE money to localize this fricking game when it would require so much fricking effort? Not only would they have to redo a good chunk of music, troony localizers would have a field day, try to make story changes, plus NOA has to deal with potential backlash either way, AND part of the copyright is held by the creator. There is quite literally ZERO reason for them to localize it when it would cost more money in the long run, you fricking low IQ subhuman. Also:
>reddit spacing
Get the frick off my board you scum.
>Nintendo is bad, so we should stop giving them shit for when they are
Frick off
>reddit spacing
Not a thing nor has it ever been a thing, and I'm sick of gays like you using to dismiss a post off hand, frick off.
You are shilling for Nintendo and you don't even know it
You dumb frick, I'm not defending any company, it's common business sense. There's no point doing it when it's too much of a hassle. If you wanna play it so badly, go learn japanese and play the original you damn mongoloid. And pick up a business book while you're at it.
Find any way to justify you want, that's exactly what you're doing. You're giving Nintendo a free pass because they've been shit in the past so you should expect or want nothing less. That is exactly the kind of attitude that justifies them being being lazy with their games and services, frick you. You might not protray yourself as shill, but you're still doing their job and working up to bat for the corpos that piss on us and then call it rain.
>he thinks an 18 year old gba game is indicative of nintendo's business ideolody
Yep, you're moronic. Now gimme my you, you weakspined homosexual. Enjoy no troony localization of Mother 3. It's only good news to me.
>It's old so who gives a shit
Okay shill.
you dipshits do know that you can create a japanese nintendo account and add it to your switch so you can access the japanese e-shop to download the japanese version of the app and play it legitimately, right?
frickwads
You know what's even easier? To download a GBA emulator and finding the ROM online, you sole licking dipshit.
>using an illegal emulator to play an illegal dump of a game
you didn't beat the game
ACKshually, I looked up the ending credits on Youtube
I DID beat the game.
you didn't beat the game
Yes I did.
I also have it on translated on a game cartridge, and have a working GBA to play it on
Suck my butthole shill
>illegal
lol what are they gonna do about it? send feds to my house over a 19 year old game they decided not to localize because the fanmade translation was just that good? moron
i watched chuggaaconroy's let's play of it years ago, so i beat the game
>watching a shoe sniffing pedo's cringe 240p lets play means you played it
You lost, Dalton.
sex with kumatora
What sexual position?
For me it’s her Dominatrix me with reverse cowgirl and calling all sorts of things like “Patheic”.
missionary position with hands holding
Literally use Duolingo for like two months and you’ll have enough knowledge of the Japanese language to understand how to read the game.
You won’t understand it seamlessly, you’ll probably need to look up words for what they mean, but you can do it.
So you didn't buy a copy of it when you went to Japan on vacation?
No matter the translation Pokey has one of the worst fates I've come across in a video game. If they change that not to trigger youths then I'll skip on playing an 'official' translation even if its a remaster
He got exactly what he wanted 🙂
Pokey has one of the best* fates I've come across in a video game
>america isn't ready to play the game about capitalist pigs destroying a perfectly sane and healthy lifestyle
Friendly reminder that your NSO subscription allows you to download the Japanese NSO app! You just need to create a separate user profile and a separate Nintendo Account (use a Japanese area code).
I don't care.
I played the fan translation a billion years ago when that came out.
If it came out officially in the west I STILL wouldn't give a shit, not just because I already played it, but because I refuse to reward their continued shittiness over it. They had their goddamn chance, they had 20 goddamn years of chances that they continually refused to take. Nearly 20 years to take my money, and now I simply refuse.
to the 3 actual people that played the fricking game instead of screeching like monkeys, they know magypsies are actual total bros. Literal aliens that just help you out on your journey, not troon shit
They are buttholes and deserved a painful death.
The series turns 35 this year, I wonder if they are having any kind of special celebration or if they will wait until the 40th anniversary to do anything.
Hope to see a remaster or even remake of Mother 1 or 2, or even better both.
>Western trannies hate the magypsies
You guys are so out of touch
cute
thank you!!
no problem!
draw more!!
I definitely will, I'm always happy to draw more cute Kumatora
can you draw kumatora petting anon while anon lays his head in her lap and she says she can warm the room up with pk fire or something
thank you based anon
maybe not today but if another Mother thread pops up or if you check in the drawthreads from time to time, it might do something like that
Mother 3 being stuck in Japan forever is the best outcome. Trannies will beg for a US release but immediately regret it once they actually play the game and find out they’re being made fun of. Nintendo did the right thing by putting an end to the shitstorm that Iwata was about to unleash. Too bad it cost him his life, but the Nintendo ninjas did the right thing.
>troony 3
Holy SHIT
troonys can never be mothers, you homosexual
HAHAAHAHAHAAAA
i really don't get why people feel so strongly about it getting an official release.
anyone who wants to play it in english is a google search away
>official release means more merchandise in english, acknowledgment from their social media, corporate sees the franchise is worth investing in
>supporting itoi and nintendo for making a game you like
>new translation means a new way to play the game, even if it's inferior to the fan translation
>accessibility to normies means more fans and more people willing to play/discuss the game
>preservation of the game, if it's translated then it'll be easier to continue rereleasing the game for years to come
>genuinely just feeling validated by nintendo at this point
>the more they ignore a translation, the more western fans feel theyre being ignored/disrespected
It's not a huge deal but at this point it should just be done so it can have an official release.
>more merchandise in english
Why would I want merchandise in English?
>acknowledgment from their social media
So you want to read how westoids are seething on twitter, huh.
>corporate sees the franchise is worth investing in
It's in a good position right now. Not big enough to become slop but definitely big.
>supporting itoi
That's fair, but it can be done without shitting up the >fandom
>and nintendo
Lol
>new translation means a new way to play the game, even if it's inferior to the fan translation
Mental illness
>accessibility to normies means more fans and more people willing to play/discuss the game
Holy fricking shit
>preservation of the game, if it's translated then it'll be easier to continue rereleasing the game for years to come
The game is literally as preserved as it can get.
>genuinely just feeling validated by nintendo at this point
I guess that's all that's left if your daddy wasn't willing to give you the validation you crave
>the more they ignore a translation, the more western fans feel theyre being ignored/disrespected
Absolutely not the case. Everyone western fan has already played Mother 3.
This is fricking embarrassing.
It's either you want the release or you don't care. You can just admit you don't care, anon.
All of your arguments can be applied to literally every game ever made. You may as well not localize anything and just play fan translations for every game ever made. Go ahead, no one's stopping you.
>i have no argument
FTFY
>i'm a manchild
FIFY
Convinced all the morons going "durr they won't because it mocks trannies" didn't even play the game
>Yooo [30 year old game] is coming to [bad emulation subscription service] this is straight fire!
KYS
>it's all in hiragana/katakana with only N5 Kanji
shiet
doesn't seem like there is an option to enable full kanji characters so it could be easier to read
This is why I ain't even attempting to read that shit even though I love the game
I can manage for the most part but it's rather annoying indeed.
>Mother 3 is coming to NSO
In Japan.
The correct way to play this series is:
>Mother 1+2 gba for mother 1
>Earthbound snes
>Mother 3 gba
right?
>STILL no N64 rom leak
Weird way to end the thread with all back and forth nonsense but okay.
>The Magypsies were all happy with whom they were and helping people when they could.
>Except for Yokuba, who rejected their lifestyle and went full Republican
