Nintendo's Mother series barely saw the light of day outside Japan. It is a turn-based battle RPG series not unlike Final Fantasy, created by the legendary Shigesato Itoi, a famous Japanese copywriter, essayist, lyricist, game designer, and actor. The first game in the series to be released outside Japan was the second game, which is known as EarthBound on the Super Nintendo. EarthBound wasn't released in Europe until 2013 on Wii U's Virtual Console. I, for one, enjoyed EarthBound and I want more from the series. Anyone who played the Super Smash Bros series would remember Mother characters who was playable in the games, namely Ness, who was the hero from EarthBound and has been in Super Smash Bros from the start, Lucas, the hero from Mother 3 and who appeared as a playable character in Super Smash Bros Brawl and as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS and Jeff, Ness's teammate in EarthBound who appeared as a Assist Trophy in Brawl. Mother 1 was released worldwide as EarthBound Beginnings on Wii U Virtual Console on 14th June 2015 and on 17th December 2015, Mother 3 has been released in Japan on Wii U Virtual Console. Nintendo, Mr Itoi, you gave us Mother 1. Clyde "Tomato" Mandelin and his team made a translation patch so you don't have to. Use it and give the whole Mother series a chance to receive the acclaim it truly deserves. It wouldn't be the first time a fan translation became official as this website would show.(http://legendsoflocalization.com/these-fan-transla...) Mother 3 was released in Japan only on April 20th 2006. We have been calling to Nintendo tio release Mother 3 for over 20 years. Let's make them hear us.

Mr. Itoi please bring Mother 3 to the U.S. Return for one more game to design. I will buy and play it, as well as refer others to buy.

Having been an Earthbound/Mother fan for many years, the western gaming community definitely deserves an official translation and release of this gem!

I'm new to the series, but I love what I've played of the first two games and would really like to see this game get localized.

I would very much enjoy being able to purchase and play this game officially, instead of any other way... I have put off playing it for a long time because of this, and I hope that I can eventually play it... but not the Japanese cartridge.

If it does as well as the first two games Nintendo's got nothing to lose, the important thing is that there is an audience for this game now and there is money to be made with these games.

I'm actually currently in the progress of playing a physical copy of the fan English translation! I hope an official version can come out in English! (I'm Kevin (KToledo04) from Miiverse, BTW!)
