My opinion on this game's localization

While I think Mother 3 is an amazing game, I can't see why people still want/hope Nintendo will localize it. Nintendo would very likely censor some things. There is a fan translation, keeping everything in tact. Play that.

  • If this were to get translated i'd rather have it in a trilogy pack, that way i can own merch of it too.

    Yeahs1
  • I do have the fan translation, though. I'm in Osohe castle, but I haven't played much recently because of other games. :P Keyboard controls also aren't comfortable for a GBA game (or just any console game) imo. I could use a PS3 controller as a gamepad, but my brother likely wouldn't let me have one.

    I actually put it on my Wii, it's pretty neat but I haven't got far in it yet.

  • I don't have a computer, or a half decent phone. It's gonna be VC or nothing for me, for a while anyway.

    I don't have a PS4 or an Xbox One, should I complain that they put exclusive games on them? And when you mention a phone, if it's a smartphone then you probably can do it.

  • While chances of legal conflict with playing the translation are low, it's still best to be as legal as possible. Anyway, MOTHER 3 will come out. At this time, it's not a matter of if, but when.

    Distributing that stuff is illegal, having it isn't. If they're not selling it to you, then consider the alternatives. No, you're not getting an official translation and it would be inferior to the fan translation anyway. When the only person who can have a say in it doesn't want to do it, then you're probably not going to get it. Just buy the merchandise and get it over with.

    Yeahs1
  • That reminded me. Visual Boy Advance can be used on the [Coffee] brew Channel. Since you use an SD card to put the games on the Wii (U), can you play the fan translation on it?

    Yes, I've done it. It patches the file, so as long as the file works then you should be able to use it.

    Yeahs1
  • Yay! I should install it on my white Wii soon since I don't have a classic controller (nor a keyboard with a usb cord).

    Yeahs0
  • Just asking: Do you remember the compatible controllers for VBA?

    Yeahs0

    Pretty much anything that works on the Wii. Though be warned, using the Wiimote is awkward. I'd use a GameCube controller if you have one.

  • I'd rather see an 3D remake of Earthbound on 3DS rather than localization of Mother 3. Then they could worry about making Mother 3 available worldwide, and maybe make a remake to go along with the Mother 2 remake.

    Yeahs0
  • how about: go ( nope ) urself

    Yeahs0
  • it worked with Earthbound, it can work with Mother 3!

    Oh, they toned Bayonetta down quite a bit actually, and they also don't have to worry about age ratings either since she's an optional download. Regardless, it's still an RPG and translating them takes a lot of time. Just get the fan translation if you can and play that, that way you've at least played it and on the off chance they officially release a translation you can just buy that as well.

    Yeahs0
  • I must say, Puppet is the most mature one out of all of us! I just remembered a typo in the fan translation. There was a garden of potatos. The sign next to it said "Potatoto."

    Yeahs0
  • "it worked with Earthbound" In context, you're saying that begging Nintendo worked to get EB translated. Nintendo was translating that regardless in the 90s. Begging to get it on VC is different than begging for a translation. They already had the entire game, they just had to emu(NSFM) it on the Wii U like any other game. Same with EB Beginnings.

    Yeahs2
