Ahh, thanks for the link.
So it seems that the choice comes down to either an EZ-Flash 3-in-1 (since I already own a CycloDS) or an EZ-Flash IV. Anyone have experience with either that can recommend one?
as in, does this : http://www.realhotstuff.com/expansion-pack-size-p-212.html work with the CycloDS? If not, I'm going to have to pay the extra for the EZ-Flash IV I guess.

This stuff is sort of up in the air. You'd think that the guy whose done most of the hacking work (Jeffman) would know, but he hasn't posted anything about what carts work and what doesn't work.
I have an old EZFA Realtime, and I tried to load the Japanese Mother 3 Rom onto it, and my cart said that the rom was too big. Mother 3 takes up the max size of a GBA cart (256mbits) so there is some trickyness here and I'm not sure how the issue is going to be resolved. I'd like to maybe get one of those DS flash carts that are able to also download GBA roms to a GBA cart, but the Mother 3 Translation site has been completely silent as to what stuff on the market will work perfectly, so I'm not going to go out and buy anything yet.
I have a feeling I'll be playing it on my PSP via emulator at least for a little while until information about what GBA flash carts work comes to the surface.

Except that at "the end of the GBA's life" the GBA was doing awesome and was even outselling the PS3. It's pretty clear that someone ordered the GBA killed so that the DS could take it's place. So much for "3rd pillar." Anyway that's sort of a discussion for another thread...

Thursday night would be so perfect. I have my last exam Thursday morning before a 1 week break.

So am I the only one expecting a huge backlash against the game after anglo-GAF realises the game is very different in tone from EarthBound?

Honestly I already know this won't be an Earthbound clone. It's hard to explain but in the end I guess what I'm anticipating isn't really another "Earthbound", but another game by Itoi with a great theme surrounding it.

Nice to hear it's finally coming along. Mother 3 has been a project for a while.

I am crying tears of joy and also I have an erection of joy.
Ugh, yeah. I just beat Mario RPG the other day with all my characters at level 30 and totally maxxed out. Now I need another VC RPG to play. My kingdom for some Earthbound action! I'm tired of playing it over and over on an emulator. I need something that will restrict me to actually play it accepting consequences instead of misusing freeze states. (And believe me, if they're available, I won't resist using them.)Milabrega said:

It's never going to be released.
When a company sacrifices a brand it is for something bigger. Nintendo took two huge risks and made two brand sacrifices with mass awareness, one was the sacrifice of the Gameboy, and the other was the Nintendo brand(on consoles). When you sacrifice something, not just for the sake of it but very wisely and ritualistically, with a mass audience of participators(the public), you ask for something better than what was sacrificed, it is a huge risk but that can be successful with excellent world wizardry, the size of the call will determine if it gets answered. You don't however dig back what you gave away, and M3 was part of the whole deal with the Gameboy sacrifice, it will not be released again.
I bet it comes out on the DSi Download service

Looking at the Art-work it kind of reminds me of Bob's Game.

A bug will be discovered and the release date will be announced as November 5, 2008. On November 4, Nintendo will issue a cease & desist letter and the project will be canceled.
Later that day, John McCain will officially win the Presidential Election over Barack Obama in a landslide victory.

I was very sad when that the Pig Mask battle theme was not in Brawl.
It's one of my favourite battle themes ever (for my favourite JRPG ever, ho ho ho).DarknessTear

Absolutely cannot wait. I imported the GBA version not too long ago as a means of (possibly) reinforcing my Japanese studies, but the translation is still something that I have been awaiting ever since the project was announced. Needless to say, one of my favorite games of all time will FINALLY be available in my native language, and this makes me very happy.
YES. Shogo Sakai is brilliant, and this soundtrack is absolutely wonderful. I have the OSV, MOTHER 3i, and MOTHER 3+. They're all so awesome, and each one is in frequent rotation on my iPod. Seriously, there's just SO much good material. The Love Theme is undoubtedly one of the single best in-game compositions of recent times.
And, not to disparage the EB love going on here (I like it, too!), but it's my personal opinion that M3 is without question MUCH better than EB. For those diehard fans out there who have yet to play M3, be prepared for an incredible experience.

I haven't even played the game yet, but you're absolutely right. The soundtrack is fantastically amazing and I've listened to the Mother 3i and Mother 3+ albums extensively.
But with all due respect to the Theme of Love, which is indeed an excellent composition, my personal favourite Mother 3 song has to be
the Sixteen Melodies, a combination of the eight melodies from both Mother and Mother 2.
Masked Man said:
As I said before, Earthbound is my favourite game ever made, but I would not be surprised if Mother 3 managed to take its position. I would be delighted if it did.
Masked Man, you can't change your avatar to a non-Mother avatar just when the translation is about to come out. D:

I like your pick, too. If I'm not mistaken, both are nominated for the GAF 1000-track Game Music Battle of Eternity. But while I appreciate the various reprisals and allusions of the latter track, I much prefer the original (and much more thorough) development of the Love Theme in its own piece.
It's just so much more moving for me.Ahh, I know. I was introduced to Gurren Lagann at a bad time, huh? :O But I'll most likely be switching it to something M3-related on release day, so fear not!
(After all, with a username like mine, it would be some sort of sacrilege to go without a M3 avatar on such a momentous occasion!)And while we're thinking about it... Beware to those who haven't played M3, but GL-reference time:

The moment the patch is safely downloaded on my computer is going to be so great.
There will be nothing Nintendo or anyone else can do.
