CloseSpeaking of Mother 3, I hope all the true fans of Earthbound are keeping in mind that there's going to be a major procott on Earthbound on virtual console in support of the translation of Mother 3. (Starmen.net has been talking about it for months) The hope is that if enough people buy Earthbound, Nintendo will be forced to see that a translated Mother 3 would be a good investment. So if you're interested in a translated (legal) Mother 3, be sure to buy Earthbound on VC, assuming you've got a Wii, and get your friends to as well. It's really the last hope we've got left.

Jesus man I don't think Nintendo could have done better marketing themselves. I read at GW that Marcus was going to buy like 100 copies of this and gift them to everyone =\ Still I don't think that Mother 3 will ever be localized.
I think it's weird that Nintendo just wants to pretend that Earthbound never happened (by removing the Earthbound demo from SSBB I'm sure they were showing that they had no intention of putting it on VC) and I'm sure they only put Earthbound up because it was the #1 most-requested VC game in their Nintendo Power poll. It makes no sense to me because I'm pretty sure Americans would understand the humor better than Japanese people. It's sweet that Nintendo listened to fans and put it up on VC and I hope a lot of people can enjoy this classic for the first time! I don't know if I'm willing to buy this for VC and not play it just so that I can protest by giving away dollars though.

Yes, finally. I have been saving points in my account for this (or an equally awesome game).
Heres to hoping for Mother 3 at some point!
Also, I recommend this to everyone who hasn't played it yet.
I am pretty sure Nintendo has the best marketing team ever... what better way to make people want a game more and more then by ignoring it and them.

author=brandonabley link=topic=1005.msg14489#msg14489 date=1210002925Granted it's far from a sure thing, Him, but this is basically our only chance. And if Earthbound actually does sell well, Nintendo is going to either have to be stupid or be insanely biased against Mother 3 to not localize it. I don't know why you wouldn't play Earthbound if you had it, though. Why not buy it and play it? Then you're getting something out of the money you spend AND voting with your dollars!author=Shadowtext link=topic=1005.msg14115#msg14115 date=1209919761

Also, it's not "protest." It's like....the opposite of a protest. It's contest. No, wait, that means something else. It's ANTITEST. "Hell yes, we like Ness! And we'd like to like Lucas as well, if you'd give us the chance! I realize that doesn't match the rhyme scheme or meter, but it's worth mentioning!"
...that might not fit on the signs well, but since it's a bizarro protest, we'd probably be picketing inside our own homes anyway.

Man if we spent as much time studying Japanese as we did bitching about which games are and are not translated and how good the translations were we probably would have all mastered the language long ago and wouldn't be having this problem.
