So, any Mother/Earthbound fans on GBATemp?

Mother 1 is being remade with the Earthbound engine, but it's taking a long time since custom scripts, music, etc has to be programmed from scratch.

I'm just getting into Mother 3 (emulating it on my PSP)

shame on you

Shame on anyone who hasn't played Earthbound and Mother 3.
I never played Mother 1 (NES), but that installments is only for the hardcore Earthbound fans.

shame on you

Earthbound is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time, possibly just one of my fav games of all time in general, the combat is very solid and has decent difficulty, but what mainly made the game awesome for me was its quirky dialogue.

Mother 3 refined the battle system and had a better plot, alone with characters having more personality, but I didn't feel like it had the same charm Earthbound did, and felt like it ended too early before doing much with the main party together, still a great game though.

I haven't tried out Mother 1 yet but I plan to once the new K1 gets shipped.

Earthbound would just be an RPG.

Getting a mother 3 cartridge is beyond rare, also they are really expensive, emulating them its the only choice because of its english translation patch too (thanks tomato)

what does that have to do with what i said?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I'll keep an eye on this along with everything else I take an interest in.

No its not. From where i'm standing I see no shame in emulating games if anything i'm happy I can even play the game in the first place.

I believe that the main reason Earthbound wasn't successful in North America is that they didn't release a standard edition, although there were several other factors that prevented it from becoming popular. So you got a game that no one knew about, that only came in a $100 edition that included extras like a fullsize strategy guide and scratch-and-sniff stickers (normal games were $60, but money was of higher value back then), coupled with a terrible ad campaign (the "this game stinks" campaign that likely repelled customers from buying it). Not to mention the fact that JRPGs were declining in popularity internationally and that anyone who was still into that genre was busy with Final Fantasy 3 (VI) at the time.

Mato (aka tomato) is the guy who was in charge of the fan translation of Mother 3.
