Mother 3 fan translation has just been completed!
Man Earthbound (Mother 2) brings back lots of memories. I think it was the first RPG that I ever beat. Never had the patience to beat RPG's when I was 10 =p. But man! Such a fun game. Too bad the sequel never made it to North American shelves.

I can't wait to play this, but I have a midterm on monday and two labs due this coming week...sigh T.T

I want to play this because of the praise concerning the game, but do I need to play the first two in order to get the most out of the third?

Nice, now I actually know where Lucas and Ness come from in Brawl! Oh.. err, yeah. I probably won't play this, I don't have any time to start any RPGs.

I don't think you have to play the first two. The second one was very fun as is. But then I haven't played this one yet so I wouldn't know if there are any references to the previous games. Maybe you could ask someone at starmen.net or the forum at the site I posted.

You can play Mother 2 (Earthbound) but it isn't necessary to if you want to play Mother 3. And Mother 1's interface was horrible so I don't recommend it unless you are a fanatic.

Mother 1 isn't really worth it to be honest.

Earthbound is a must fucking play (not necessarily to play this, just in general).

Visual Boy Advance is the best GBA emulator (used, of course, to play games you already own). And like FakeSteve said, Mother 3 rom is REALLY easy to find.

PLAY EARTHBOUND (ZSNES is the best SNES emulator, and earthbound rom should be just as easy to find).

i'm like an hour into this game

the oddball humor that made Earthbound so endearing is very much present in this game so far, I've been grinning like an idiot the entire time I've been playing this game

its like a snes rpg i never knew existed, what a great day. imagine discovering Secret of Mana eight years after you put down your snes controller for the last time (my power cord busted -_-)

Looks sweet. I never got through earthbound because I got bored half way through. I don't have the patience for RPGs anymore. I'm taking forever replaying Breath of Fire 3.

Secret of Mana was such a good game. It even worked great multiplayer.

Is anyone else (other than FakeSteve and I) playing this?

I've just started Chapter 4. So far this game is really living up to Earthbound. Of course nothing can ever fully recreate the magic, but this game comes close.

Btw, the translation is really impressive/proffesional.

I'd like to start playing but I'm studying for my midterm right now =/

And yeah, the translator is apparently a professional translator for anime who wanted to do this as a side project/hobby.

My brother's playing it right now and he says it's really fun.

sigh...back to studying T.T

The Mother series has always been one of my favorite RPG series of alltime
But the thing about the Mother games is that it is totally a hit or miss series.

Either you're fucking in LOVE with this game, or you don't like it. For me, Earthbound has been one of my favorite game since I was a kid so I enjoyed it like a motherfucker.

Only thing I had issues with this game was that the difficulty curve from Mother 2 -> Mother 3 is like running into a brick wall. Mother 2 (earthbound) was a pretty easy going game so I thought Mother 3 would be similar, but damn was I wrong. I did miss alot of features Earthbound had that Mother 3 didn't (like the pizza guy, storage delivery man, dad/mom/sister calling you). However, I still enjoyed it.
