I feel like half the charm of mother 3 is that it’s not that hard to emulate with the English translation, and it’s a game worth doing that for.

Just play the translation and be glad with that. You don't want a current Nintendo tampered Mother 3 localization anyways.

really not missing out on much

The ending fucked me up

localizationfags are cancer.

Because it had a fan translation everyone who wanted to play it in English already did so years ago.

>b-but nintendo doesn't get any money for it! it just isn't right! i can't use an emulator, they're illegal!

You do not want this game localized in this day and age. Everything would be shit on so hard.

why do people want this game localized again? its already translated and i bet everyone who wants it has played it already.
Besides, series is completely dead and thats a good thing

Maybe more likeable but more useless.
>Neither one uses PSI, but Jeff's one-shot powerful weapons vs. Duster's "thief tools" that are largely useless half of the time
>Neither one uses weapons until the very end of the game, but Poo's powerful PSI moves vs. Boney's "sniff"
I kept wishing that Boney would be a temporary character or something but it never happened.

Our /ss/ waifu Alison Rapp wouldn't be working on the translation if it was done now so who cares

I am so mad

This. Tonally, it completely shits the bed in being a Mother game and lacks the childlike sense of wonder present in its predecessors. In fact, its message reads more like an old man raving at you about the dangers of technology than anything. M3 is incredibly polarizing in Japan because of this; it's only the west that upholds it as some sort of holy grail.

Why do you need a localization when you can already play it in English?

Of course, you're not going to answer this, nobody ever does.

>implying v wouldn't want an /ss/ lover waifu

Seriously, why the fuck do people want an "official" localization for MOTHER 3? It would just get censored/edited to hell to keep the E rating in the west.

To you guys saying "play the translation on an emulator" the emulation fucks up the internal timing of the music to the actual MIDI files your hearing meaning combos become harder to do and by thusly combat becomes a chore.

what's she charge for a throw these days?

I hate that Mother 3 was never localized, but I'd say Microsoft bringing in paid online and the "money>players" dev mindset is a fair bit worse.

See
The emulation isn't cycle perfect and causes issues. This is a problem on all GBA games but only really is noticable on a few select games, like ninja five O or mother 3.

I keep hearing this bullshit but I've never had a problem with it. Also, is fixing this mechanic the biggest reason on a long list of why you want a localization?

She retired off the internet a year ago and hasn't been seen since. Too bad, I'd totally throw in for her Patreon pics again if she ever came back.

Dusters their tools are great in terms of utility and debuffing they just aren't unga bunga beeg damage so you don't like them.

if this came out in 2006 no one in the west would've bought it and it'd get jacked off the same as 2 with people still playing it in an emulator instead of buying it. it was ahead of its time, they marketed it wrong, hidden gem, rare CIB copy only $300 etc.

Yes.
Also upload a video of you doing a 12 hit combo right now it it's "not an issue" for you. I can do it in my import copy easily but not on the emulatrd one.

Mother 3 abandoned what made it worthwhile outside of its art style. The series was always a Dragon Quest clone but with a different setting Mother 3 opting for a magical island the animals becoming Chimeras and adding in a couple paved roads and cityscape later just acted as a formality to both turn it into just every other JRPG and something vaguely resembling Mother 1-2. The common trend at the time seemed to be separating parts of the game into a chapter system each ending with some really bad purple prose scrolling across the screen and the writer I'm assuming Itoi less someone else made this decision was really up their ass with this plot: Oh iF yOu NaMe LuCaS's MoM yOuR mOm YoU'Ll Be SaD wHeN sHe DiEs DERP", it was pretentious garbage so was the 3 chapter introduction with constant character switching and chapter 3 having you play as a monkey who must collect shit to give to a dung beetle to level up faster in addition to grinding as a metaphor for in and of itself grinding, you're actually grinding for literal shit to beat up a wolf with a cactus. Things are hopeful around chapter 4 but for the attempt at humor anytime you vaguely go off the beaten path sometimes you have to deal with dialogue about invisible ants you dare not step on. The game doesn't really start being fun or overly forced until around either chapter 5 or 7. Chapter 6 all 3 minutes of it was really up its ass by the way, going left and jumping for your mom, going left just like on a black ending screen HAHA SO FUNNY AND QUIRKY, THIS GAME HAS SO MUCH PERSONALITY, DOORKNOBS AND SHIT. Chapter 8's setting being mostly cardboard I will say was brilliant though it's a perfect representation on this game being a shoddy imitation at Mother.

mother series is not even that good

(2/2)
I get it, "YOU JUST WANT MORE OF THE SAME THING", sure but I wouldn't mind the setting shift so much if there wasn't a bunch of annoying stuff attached, I don't care if the island is Magicant or something similar, I don't care it’s an alternate dimension that I have to spend 10 minutes hearing about at the end of the game from a character that never spoke before being expected to feel anything from this outside the annoyance of waiting for this exposition to finish while fucking Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie No.3 plays as if this was some high art My Dinner with Andre shit. The vapid fanbase for this game is an elitist exclusivity club on par with people claiming Sonic CD is the best one when it was only playable on a Sega CD because only these enlightened chosen ones played if much like only people downloading roms with a translation patch are touching this. This isn’t a bad game or RPG just don’t prefer it compared to the rest of the series and think it’s highly overrated due to the mystique surrounding it not being officially translated. Nintendo would fuck up and don’t think more people would give a shit out this game outside of a niche of dedicated fans that think Mega Man Legends 2 is a triumph in storytelling.

Cope

Mother isn't good at all really, it's overrated and only loved by a niche fanbase that happened to play Earthbound most of them after seeing Ness in Smash Bros. Point is Mother 3 is the worst of them.

You've never played OG mother if think 3 is the worst.

Mother 1 is just every other famicom RPG without any depth and you can literally just run to the end at around level 20. The entire series is just JRPG garbage with quirky Charlie Brown shit and I have a tolerance for old RPGs. SOme rythm system in 3 doesn't take away the annoyance of everything else force on you in a 15-20ish hour scenario compared to the 6-10 hours in Mother 1 that after a time are fairly open and empty without pretentious "BAAAAAAWWWW MY MOM IS DEAD, now let me tell you the future of mankind" bullshit. The fuckin RPG maker fangame Tale Between Two Times is better than Mother 3, a fucking run button and pink haired dyke doesn't add anything.

While grindy, M1 was charming in a way that M3 wasn't. I liked it more than 3.

Not it doesn't. The only things that fuck up timing is if you don't have frame skipping disabled, and if you have a mechanical keyboard and press the keys all of the way down

I can't easily record an emulator without slowdown
The best I can do is try to screenshot the 16-hit text

mother 3 has a charm itself, but the chapter method of story telling kinda ruins the freedom of exploration that the previous games gave you

Duster annoyed me less than Boney, but the tools weren't particularly useful, half the time they didn't work. The best thing about Duster was how the animators showed how he walked differently, even with the Pigmask disguise, instead of everyone perfectly in step like the first two games. And that's the other thing about the Duster's arc, it was the "egg" that was supposed to be a big thing, and then wasn't really. He found it, then it isn't brought up again until Leder's textdump at the end where it explains that the egg has all the memories of the old world, but it isn't addressed, where we might get to see some more of what the people of Tazmily were originally like (I have a feeling that the original uncut version for the N64+DD would).

3>1>2

get a fucking flash card for your gba then, jesus there's always a fucking solution. Quit waiting around for Nintendo to do shit, they don't give a fuck and they never will.

Use mGBA instead of Visual Boy, retard

It's ok, I fixed it for you bud ;)

Why do they use a japanese actor for ness that can't pronounce his attacks?
Some questions will just never be answered

At least we have a fantranslation. You can't fix Aliens: Colonial Marines

Sucks to those who don't have a flashcart.
