brb buying wii u
mother 3 is hard as shit still haven't beat fucking new goddamn fassad I mean goddAMN
The SNES copy will soon be cheap now! also earlier in the video, they say stuff about "Gameboy Advance" VC releases. Mother 1/3 release possible? [editline]17th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=VinLAURiA;40315942]Some of the effects in the VC version of Super Mario RPG were changed to be less flashy due to increased epilepsy awareness.[/QUOTE] Actually thats because of the Wii's refresh rate being different than the SNES one IIRC
Why not the wii as well? I'm not gonna sink a buttload of money for a wii U. I'm saving for a laptop
[QUOTE=Recurracy;40315990]mother 3 is hard as shit still haven't beat fucking new goddamn fassad I mean goddAMN[/QUOTE] stock up on jerky and loads of pies use debuffs IF ALL ELSE FAILS grind the shit out of everything
[QUOTE=Wormy;40316236]I doubt it. The cartridges will still be rare.[/QUOTE] They definitely won't be under $75. But they should drop from the current average of $200. [url]http://buyearthbound.com/[/url]
I still have my cartridge, box, and book. Bought it all for less than 5 bucks from the local video store when i was 8-9 because we constantly rented it and loved it so they sold it to us for next to nothing and threw in the box and book they stored in the back.
[QUOTE=Megaman1811;40316055]Why not the wii as well? I'm not gonna sink a buttload of money for a wii U. I'm saving for a laptop[/QUOTE] Because Wii U needs sales
also because the wii u virtual console is like 200x better complete rebind-able controls, any controller you want to use, Off tv play, etc.
[QUOTE=Wormy;40316236]I doubt it. The cartridges will still be rare.[/QUOTE] Except EarthBound isn't rare at all.
[QUOTE=Wormy;40316236]I doubt it. The cartridges will still be rare.[/QUOTE] The carts aren't really that rare. The price is just extremely inflated by people who think they are.
I'll buy and play this and be completely unmoved by how overhyped it is. I'm sure it'll be fun though
This is great, maybe now I can actually convince some of my friends to play it.

They're uncommon, but they give up 16,000 exp when defeated and you can double that with enemy bufferizers from the chimera lab.
I hope Nintendo does a 3ds version as well, imagine the trippy battles in 3D!!!

[QUOTE=Recurracy;40315990]mother 3 is hard as shit still haven't beat fucking new goddamn fassad I mean goddAMN[/QUOTE] Now changing Yokuba's name to Fassad: Pure localisation genius. Yokuba is supposed to be close to Yakuba, which is a word for Facade, or something similar [sp]since Yokuba/Fassad is a false identity.[/sp]. So not only did he change it to something that made sense in English, but it sounds fairly middle-eastern, which fits his appearance. I don't think Nintendo could even do something like that so smoothly.
[QUOTE=Flyingman356;40314421]Only if they just steal tomato's version of the script. Nobody could translate it like he did.[/QUOTE] Localization is not what's holding Mother 3 back from international release, if it was they'd have done it by now. The problem with Mother 3 is that a lot of the soundtrack rips off popular bands, such as The Beatles. And If you know the bands' history with copywrite protection and digital versions of their songs, you know that you don't fuck with the rights owners of the Beatles.

No fucking way. I wish they'd port it to 3DS too.
Nintendo actually listening to their fans? Hell must have frozen over
and thus starmen.net grew the weirdest boner
Incidentally, I've been listening to this almost non-stop while working on the animation I'm doing for a school project. [video=youtube;kziHt3UXdmA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kziHt3UXdmA[/video] Is great. Is very great.

Itoi no more please no more [editline]18th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=SgtWoodsy;40322830]I could swear that was a problem with EarthBound rather than Mother 3. Mother 3 wasn't translated because it was released at a bad time (DS was just hitting its stride and GBA was dying)[/QUOTE] That, and because Earthbound was relatively a commercial flop (Nintendo expected it to sell well over expectations, so they rolled the red carpet and all). They probably feared MOTHER 3 would suffer the same fate, and therefore it didn't leave Japan. Shame about MOTHER 1, really. Having everything ironed out, debugged and translated, but was constantly delayed until the NES was obsolete, and an US release would be a waste.
[QUOTE=absolalone111;40314332]Europe as well? Fuck yes.

So I just actually beat/played earthbound for the first time. I went into it knowing nothing about it; just that it was apparently popular. Honestly it's probably one of the greatest games I've ever played holy shit it was awesome.
