I'll just say this game is probably one of the saddest rpgs I've ever played. The ending is sad, when it comes
to the mother issue.

I want a Mr. Saturn of my own, too!
Epic Bump for only one of the best games ever.
Jeremy Parish's been playing the game now with the english translation (took him long enough). And well here are some impressions.

He apparently loves the game like we all do. And gushes over sprites as an artform. Love to make a thread discussing his views of how 2d sprites are more effective in portraying emotions than 3d models. But I'll leave that to somebody else.
Obligatory, if you haven't, play Mother 3 goddamit!

Boo I need to play it again.
I'm currently on my fifth playthrough of the game, and it's just amazing how much more I appreciate the game every time I play it. And how many things I continue to pick up on that I didn't before.
I hope Mr. Parish has a great time. I see he's mostly been talking about the graphics, which are definitely phenomenal. Unique sprite animations are indeed awesome, and that's one of the reasons why I was really impressed with Mario & Luigi 3 as well.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to reprint the Mother 3 handbook?

Not yet, but the one that is being worked on is only for Mother/Earthbound Zero
Maybe someday both will be translated

I'm on Ubuntu and the patch doesn't work. I've even tried through tsukuyomi and I have no luck.
Any advice?

Alright I switched to Windows and the patch runs perfectly. However I'm stuck on a boss.
I'm on Chapter 5 and I can't beat the Robot Defense Boss where that generator thing is at Thunder Tower. Seriously every time he does that electricity move it demolishes my party to near death and I can't buy raincoats because there isn't a merchant here. And all of the members in my party are at least level 26.

Fuck that boss. I remember getting really frustrated there.Flying_Phoenix said:

Well, it's good to check everything in this game anyway, but that in particular looks like something you're supposed to check.

I still love how there are so many musical references in this game.
Batman theme.
FOX 20th Century
Godzilla's theme.
Mozart's 40th symphony
Eric Satie's Gymnopedie #1 (Leder looks EXACTLY like Eric Satie too)
Beat It.
Saint Saens Piano Concerto #2
Beethoven's 5th Symphony
tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto #1
Even fucking London Bridge is Falling Down is referenced :lol

I'm a couple of days late, but for those of you who don't follow Fangamer and Starmen.Net very closely, their Mother 3 Fanfest (Group playthrough and arts/crafts/whatever contribution) started two days ago. Currently they're about two thirds of the way through Chapter 1, so it's pretty easy to catch up if any of you guys want to play along.
It's a great refresher for those who have played through it already, and a great way to get involved for people who haven't played it yet or haven't made time to finish it.

Edit: Heh, while posting that, they updated the site to take players up through the end of Chapter 1. In about an hour and a half, tonight's host will be playing through that portion of the game live on the video feed as well.

I still need to play this. I bought a Game Boy Player and flash cart nearly a year ago, yet I still haven't bought a mini SD card for the flash cart.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
I finally got my own Mother 3 starmen.net guide, now I'm ready to dive in and beat this game. I have 15 hours logged in it and I loved everything about it from that short playthrough.
The guide is completely awesome, by the way, and I wish every game I loved had such an amazing companion piece. Just gives me a kick to flip through it, incredible job by starmen.net. Does anyone who's played through this game have suggestions for other games that give you the same, um, 'feeling' while playing?

I often feel like I like Cave Story for the same reasons I like the Mother series.
I know this probably isn't the place to post this.... but...
So, my most recent trip caused me to re-play Mother 3 again, which only caused me to feel guilty about not beating Mother 1 after quitting so close to the end (I just didn't want to level up). So I just now took a break and did this:
With my custom NES cart:
I feel so proud of myself (yes, I know that's sad!)
Back to Mother 3! Then I'll probably go back and beat Earthbound again. I <3 These games.

I was playing this via VBA-M on my laptop during AT. It has some minor issues, but at least it's close enough that combo timing works pretty well.
It's interesting playing Earthbound again after finishing Mother 3. Random thoughts:
The above is pretty much wild speculation, since my memories of EB's story are mostly fuzzy--I'm replaying it now, but I'm just finishing the pyramids so I'm not at the end quite yet.
It's interesting playing Earthbound again after finishing Mother 3. Random thoughts:
1) Do you think that Flint is a descendant of Ness + Paula? The clues that this might be the case are the Franklin Badge that gets handed down, and the fact that Lucas looks like a blonde version of Ness.
2) In Earthbound, Giygas is described as being 'neither male or female.' You think Giygas was a Magypsy, corrupted similarly to Lucria?
3) Likewise, the Dark Dragon and Giygas are spoken about in similar terms; if Giygas wasn't a Magypsy, perhaps it was an activated Dark Dragon bound to an evil heart (Pokey/Porky?)
