It's official!

 

[AniHawk]

Awwwwwwwwww yeah!

 

[clearacell]

what does it say exactly?

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Terribly inauspicious day for anything.

 

[ivysaur12]

WOHOOOO!! FUCK YAH!!!

I'm pumped.

It's official!

Coincidentally, Easter is on April 16th this year. :lol

 

[Doom_Bringer]

What is this Mother series all about?

 

[TekunoRobby]

I shall give a stoic and hip response:
Good stuff yo.

 

[Idioteque]

Have they even shown screens of this game yet?

 

[demi]

 

[Mama Smurf]

That's almost my birthday.

You know what this means? A game I don't much care about is almost coming out on my birthday!!1

 

[Archie]

 

[Amir0x]

Have they even shown screens of this game yet?

No! Come on already Nintendo! They just gonna reveal screens like a week before the game releases? Fuck, so long the wait... been so long.

I remain bitter until US release is announced.

 

[thestopsign]

A week after Tales of the Tempest and 2 weeks after Xenosaga I and II. :lol

Japan should have a long period of game time, and cancel all other activities that are meaningless like jobs and school.

 

[RevenantKioku]

No! Come on already Nintendo! They just gonna reveal screens like a week before the game releases? Fuck, so long the wait... been so long.

Don't worry, I plan on importing this one. It'll get a US release.

 

[Greenpanda]

Crazy!

Will be interested to see how it's turned out after all these years. I hope it's good!

 

[Amir0x]

Don't worry, I plan on importing this one. It'll get a US release.

Har! But importing is not acceptable for a Mother game, nor is a third-rate fan translation. If Nintendo does not bring this to the US, they are an officially dead company. Not worth discussion ever!

 

[Archie]

This game will have a NA release, BELIEVE!

 

[Wario64]

US release = never

GAF cries

Wario laughs

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Speaks the truth.

I'll let you know if it sucks or not.

You do know this game will be translated by fans in no time, right.

 

[Amir0x]

Nintendo has to take responsibility for this series, and they have to do a fucking awesome job of translating. If they do not show RESPECT for the US Earthbound fans, they are confirmed dead and will exist no more in my dark, crippled heart.

 

[BorkBork]

I WANT FUCKING SCREENS!!!!

Erm...

yeah...

...

Bye

 

[Mama Smurf]

Despite not being overly fond of Earthbound, I will buy this if it has the battle music that was originally planned for the N64 version and was released after it was cancelled.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Can you just imagine a fan translation? Eight some years of waiting for this game is liable to break a man.
I'm slightly pumped for this, but cautious. I have been burned by many a sequel.

 

[Amir0x]

Erm...

yeah...

...

Bye

TEN YEARS, DEMI. TEN YEARS!

 

[belgurdo]

Heut ist mein tag

 

[demi]

I'm pretty sure Earthbound 3 will come to America.

So it is written.

So shall it be.

 

[Tsubaki]

what does it say exactly?

■『MOTHER3』の発売日が、決まりました。
　2006年4月20日（木）です

Mother 3's release date has been decided. It is April 20, 2006.

 

[MrDaravon]

I'd be more excited but the fact that Mother 1 + 2 never came out here (which seems like a no fucking brainer) makes me skeptical of a release of 3 here.

 

[RevenantKioku]

Explain me Tomato Adventure and Slime Mori Mori, and then we'll talk logic.
Anyway, I'm mostly concerned with Mother 3 being /good/ before worrying if it gets stateside release.

 

[Johnas]

TEN YEARS, DEMI. TEN YEARS!

Nice tag, Ami.

I never did pick up Earthbound like I told you I would. It's time I make good on that.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Nintendo would just can it, if it turned out like crap. So it's either going to be awesome, or mediocre. Not crap though.

 

[Amir0x]

Nice tag, Ami.

I never did pick up Earthbound like I told you I would. It's time I make good on that.

I hope you do man. It's well worth it, imo.

RevenantKioku: You tryin' to jinx this project!?

 

[RevenantKioku]

Nintendo would just can it, if it turned out like crap. So it's either going to be awesome, or mediocre. Not crap though.

As you can see from Ami's ranting, 10 years has had quite the effect on some of us. For a few people, Mother 3 is going to have to bring them to levels of rapture that nothing is capable of.

 

[Ghengis Cohen]

Releasing it on Hitler's birthday spells nothing but bad things for this already.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Ness is in Super Smash Bros. for chrissakes. It's time to give him his due.

MOTHER 3 IN US!


(1&2 too!)

 

[Joseph Merrick]

Uh.. totally fucking awesome. It's a buy.

 

[krypt0nian]

No! Come on already Nintendo! They just gonna reveal screens like a week before the game releases? Fuck, so long the wait... been so long.

I remain bitter until US release is announced.

Totally agree. This is insanely good news, I will not dance without an english version.

 

[Koomaster]

So in the next 3 months - screenshots yes?

*orders the lube*

 

[VOOK]

Maybe a Triple Pack will all 3 on one Cart? :O

 

[polg]

Maybe a Triple Pack will all 3 on one Cart? :O

downloadable version via NWFC and transfer to DS FTW

 

[WrathOfOtaibah]

How do you know Mother 3 is going to be any good? Games that get pushed around, delayed, redone, etc. always turn out to be shit.

Shhh.

 

[AniHawk]

Like Psychonauts.

Or Resident Evil 4.

 

[Jonk]

Starmen.net just reported on it thanks and credited to GAF.

Thanks guys this is MOST EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!

Expect a full accurate translation from us soon.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Was the first one (two?) pushed around, delayed or redone? 'Cause that ended up like shit.

 

[gjb-sensei]

Three months... just three more months until a new EarthBound/Mother title is at long last released... I can't wait until they release the first batch of media for it.
