I agree, but if this road leads to Mother 3, i'm all for it ha

It's a "lost game" that was never sold outside Japan, that only pirates have had access to in English, that is now actually officially being released for the first time outside of Japan. It's an event nobody ever thought would happen, until now it seemed Nintendo didn't really value the series.

Pretty much, only real difference is that only Mother 1's localization was unreleased. Game still came out in Japan. Star fox 2 wasn't released at all, unfortunately.
Honestly though I don't think 1995 would have been too late for a SNES game. I mean you had classics like DKC2 and Yoshi's Island coming out that year.
I know that. Folks here are going to be in for a hard landing when they actually play the game.

No idea, but it's just a feeling I had based on that tweet and his acquisition of an American Wii U based on him sharing his NNID for one yesterday as well.Why would he already know about it though? Is Nintendo working with him?

Yikes. I appreciate your honesty.
What makes it tedious? Too much grinding? Lack of character/story? Difficulty?

The trailer was really emotional

Yeah I'm baffled too. I could see it being not as big for some people. But you'd think someone could at least appreciate more people are able to experience the game officially.

Is there a conference going now? What the shit?
All of those. It's very much a game of its time. Think Final Fantasy on the NES. Grind central.
I never found it tedious, but I have very high tolerance for grind and JRPG difficulty.

It's the precedent being set. That Nintendo would finally release the english version of a game whose domestic release was canned 25 years ago in a series that's been woefully neglected outside of Japan for at least 20 of those years shows that they might actually have interest in making Mother 3 available outside of Japan.
I think this beats Monster World IV's record of the longest wait between regions for a localization, come to think of it.

Can't speak for others, but part of my excitement is fueled by the fact Nintendo has acknowledged the existence of Mother a lot in the past two years.
And think about it, Lucas in Brawl, Mother NES on VC, Itoi delivering a heart-felt message himself. It's Mother-overload!
And the possibility of Mother-fucking 3... *passes out*

Yeah, I don't get that either. I mean, yeah, it's not new, but it's hardly something usual.
I would do an avatar bet.

I have a feeling this will be rebalanced for modern players.
It's way too grindy for today's gamers.

So how many fire flowers will Reggie have to pull out this year if they don't announce a Mother 3 localisation in their presentation?
