Mother 3 Translation RELEASED!

[neonix]

snemul sux with sprite layers for M2!

are the battles as boring as they are in M2?

Mother 2 battles aren't that boring. Only the ones against weaker, repetitive enemies, and luckily there's the auto-win feature once you're at a high enough level. I actually don't know is Mother 3 has this feature (I assume it does, but this is my first play-through), but the battles are still fun.

If anything, you can have fun trying to master the combo technique.

This game is crazy good.

I've been playing it using a 3-in-1,looks alot better on the DS that an emulator.

Theres a similar feature in Mother 3, where you can dash and ram right past enemies that are much weaker than you. But unlike Mother 2, you don't earn experience when you do this.

And juggernaut911 is sorta right. I did finish Mother 2, and I found the battles a tiny bit boring. Mother 3 is much more faster and active though.

Mother 3 is better in every way...though I'm disappointed I can't import my Japanese M3's save onto my computer..even if I did, would it be compatible with the English patch? Doesn't matter, I can have new saves I guess. This will be my fourth time

 

[juggernaut911]

it would probably be compatible. the only diff is languages

 

[Absynthe]

Yes they are compatible. Mato said that several times in his blog.

Here is the Japanese to English save convertor.

Ok chances are that Nintendo thought it was too late to release this elsewhere but shit they should have ported it to the DS! Its amazing, and this is coming from someone who is really bored of all the damn RPG's lately.

Its such a shame they gave up on it just because GBA games weren't selling, either a DS port or hell VC would have been better than just leaving it.

So true... Silly Nintendo. The same thing happened with Mother 1 on the NES. A great game, but they didn't publish it because they thought it was too late.
It would be hilarious if someone in the future finds a Prototype Mother3 English Translation cart in a Nintendo depot, like it happened with Mother1

Well, we could still hope in a Complete Earthbound Collection (Mother 1+2+3) for DS!

It would be something awesome.

This game is crazy good.

I've been playing it on a GBA SP with an XROM 512MB

It's better than most DS games I've played in the last six months I reckon. Hooked!

I'm sure I saw some English screens in an magazine over here before this project started.

Seriously Nintendo should put some of these "never released" games out on VC, especially StarFox 2.

 

[Ferrariman]

I'm willing to bet that if Nintendo released this on GBA right now, it would still sell.

 

[sixb0nes]

Is anyone else having the black squares problem playing this on a DS? Black tiles in random places, covering maybe 30% of the screen.

 

[Ferrariman]

Is there a Storage in this game?

 

[raulpica]

Is there a Storage in this game?

Yes, but only farther in the game

Spoiler

Chapter 3+, iirc

Awwww

 

[Dingler]

This game is fucking awesome! Just completed chapter 1 - had some trouble with that big dino-thingy

 

[blueskies]

I still think they would lose money if they released an official version, and will never do it. Better to just look the other way when the fans make the translation. This way both sides win (we get to play the game, they don't lose money).
If this translation had been for a more popular game/franchise, I bet it would have been shut down.

 

[Whizz]

This surely is a great translation, hats off to the people who made it.

I'm not sure if it has been said before (don't feel like reading trough 13 pages of spoilers

) but it doesn't save on an M3 Real natively so boot it with GBA Exploder to make it work.

 

[musashi]

Very well done translation. If anyone is wondering YES this DOES work on PSP-GBA Emu's flawlessly. It's almost as if Nintendo themselves did it. Hats off to the Mato and the rest of the Starmen Staff. Me? Well the game told me to take a break for today, so I did.
