EarthBound Fans Take Matters Into Their Own Hands

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the if-you-want-something-done-right dept.

Reid Young writes "EarthBound fans have waited 11 years for Nintendo to release the game's sequel, Mother 3, which came out in Japan in April 2006. However, following a recent announcement by a Nintendo employee that it almost certainly won't happen, the fans are taking it upon themselves to get the job done by organizing a fan translation with some of the finest names in ROM hacking. Is it ethical? Does Nintendo even care?"

    If I write a book in French why should I care if someone translates it into English for another country and then lets people have it for free. I'm not losing anything (because I never would of done it any way) and if anything I'm gaining more fans.

    I say screw Nintendo and let these guys work. It'll do Mother more good than bad.
