I'll commit to buying a WiiU if this comes Stateside.
I'm fully expecting a western take over of the Mother 2 Miiverse community when it appears.
Maybe that'll get their attention.
Can you even get on Japanese Miiverses with a Western console?
I know you can set the region and look at it. Not sure about posting.
I don't think Starmen.net are the type of people that would restrict this sort of thing to a single Miiverse community anyway.
The main reason Earthbound/Mother 2 wasn't released on the VC was because of copyright issues due to audio samples, right? So if it's being released in Japan, one would assume that this problem has been resolved and that a North American release is imminent?
Don't worry, guys, eBay to the rescue:

Add ridiculous shipping costs to Europe. Not knowing if the battery is in working order, or if it is going to die soon and the fact that you can't even be sure that it's a legitimate copy or simply a rom dump on a SNES cartridge. Trying to get a legitimate copy of this game is just a giant pain in the ass as well as a huge hit on your bank account. Maybe you are fine spending upwards of €150 for a beat up cartridge only version of an 18 year old game, but as much as I'd love to play it, I sure as hell am not going to spend that kind of money on it.Well, any Virtual Console version wouldn't come with the box, guide or stickers, so not really an even comparison.
Looking at completed listings, a whole bunch have gone in the $100-140 range (and a couple of lower-priced ones that were of course snapped up as soon as someone listed them), and there's a Buy-it-Now available at $210 right now if one really doesn't want to wait.
Sure, still much more expensive than a virtual console release, but, not nearly as extreme as the $400 and counting in the above auction if one is just interested in playing the game.
Yes, you can. You can even post messages there too (if I remember correctly)Can you even get on Japanese Miiverses with a Western console?
Pretty safe to say NA wont be seeing this I'd say.
We need to make a kick starter for 8-4 to translate the game and to just give it to Nintendo to release. No excuses you turds.
That would be COMPLETELY worth it and I don't think anyone else would argue that.They'll probably just package this with Mother 3 so they can sell it in the US as a 40 dollar cart.

Honest question.
Why did Nintendo stop bringing the Mother series over?
I only ask because even simple releases like the Virtual Console version of Earthbound were actually edited out of games like Super Smash Bros.
Did someone at NoA's kid die from Mother 2 or something?
That would be COMPLETELY worth it and I don't think anyone else would argue that.

There would be some legal issues with that one too.Does Mother 3 have music copyright issues as well?
Or they just can't be f**ked translating it?
Itoi said:Well, yeah, maybe that's it. I wanted to make a playground that everyone would value down to the tiniest or most insignificant thing. The goal I probably didn't think of before making it was to be discovered by players throughout the world. Yeah, that's one thing I wanted to do.
this was the thing they were hinting at? Something that'll never come to the USA :/
They said the same thing about Xenoblade, and I have a copy that plays in my US American Wii.
They said the same thing about The Last Story, and that came over.
They said the same thing about Pandora's Tower, and that's coming over in a couple of months.
Never give up. Never surrender your dreams.
They said the same thing about Mother
They said the same thing about Mother 3
Imported both of those, since waiting didn't seem too fruitful. And so far, years having passed by already, that's provided to be the correct decision.
And I'd gladly take either of those over all of those three combined.

Funny, around 1996 I walked into Funcoland with my brother and we picked up those two games!I regret not buying Earthbound when I had the chance to when it first came out in America.
And Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
I'm super sad right now...
I want this to come out on VC if only to watch the prices on eBay drop and the overcharging scumbags cry.
Neither Mother 1 or 2 were released on VC anywhere in the world.Question. Was MOTHER (1) ever put up on VC? If not, would MOTHER 2 coming before it indicate that they're working on that one first since it's the only one that's made it to the states?
