Mother 3 Finished After 11 Years

reidman writes "The unusual Japanese RPG Mother 2 (later released as "EarthBound" stateside) was a huge success in Japan. Hints about the development of the game's sequel were everywhere (even in the game itself). Originally developed for the ill-fated 64DD, the sequel was downgraded, delayed, and eventually cancelled. The fans, however, were too obsessed to let it be - and the game was quietly picked up again. Earlier this month an official announcement was finally made - the obsessive pursuit of the fans has made Mother 3 a reality (in Japan, at least) - it will be released on April 20, 2006 for the GBA! Now to get it translated..."

Translation... by saboola · 2006-01-30 05:15 · Score: 5, Interesting

If not officially translated, it has a large enough fanbase to where an unoffical translation may take place. Much like the 1997 fanmade translation of Final Fantasy 5 for the Super Famicom. I for one seriously hope it does get an official translation.

That must mean that Duke Nukem Forever can't be too far off!

Sorry about that - Starmen.Net turned on some anti-hotlinking measures between when this was submitted and when it was accepted. Here is the screenshot:
