    This is a topic I've been planning to start for a while, but seeing as I'd ordered Mother 2 in the mail a while back (see my "Imports" topic) I decided to hold it off until I could get this picture. :P Anyways, let's talk about one of the most underrated, yet when it comes to it's fanbase, overrated RPGs ever!



    Please excuse me for the lack of boxes for the American games, considering the NES one is custom-made having never been released and the Super Nintendo one (along with the player's guide) are back from 1995. :lol:
    Game... ovahhhhhhhhh!!!

    You're probably the biggest Mother fan there is, Bomba. You're lucky that you have the strategy guide, I'd do anything to get that! :P

    Thanks, but I don't really like being associated with their kind. I'm not the type of person to get to level 99 off of Coil Snakes, talk about the games all the time and tell people how they changed my life, and name my kids after characters in the game. And yes, I've come across all three of these. :shock:

    I know a website that's working on a fan translation of Mother 3 which is being created by the same team who did the fan translation to Earthbound Zero. I want to play an English translation of Mother 3 because then I'd be able to understand what they're saying instead of looking through Japanese text.

    The site you're referring to is Starmen.net, and they didn't translate Earth Bound (NES), Nintendo did.

    I know Nintendo translated Earth Bound (NES), I'm saying that Starmen released a translated version of that game since it wasn't previously released.

    :shock: Holy hell you're right! I wanted to get it with the Game Boy Micro when it was new for Christmas, but that didn't happen, and now it's way more expensive than it was then!

    That's why you gotta get things fast. I'm glad I got my rockman 2 cart when I did. There was only 2 of them for sale on ebay at the time....and now there's none.

    This game was awesome. I'd love to see Nintendo bring the series back on Wii, but if not, they should at least put this game on the Virtual Console.

    Note you'll have to provide him a NES cart to work with. I was so attached to all of mine I ended up ordering an extra copy of Kirby's Adventure online because I couldn't bare using one of my current games.

    Ah... I see what you mean. The only games I own that would use the cart is Super Mario Bros 2 & 3. I'm not 18 yet so I can't use ebay so I guess I'm gonna have to send one of those 2 Mario games that I own. Which of these 2 games do you think I should send because I don't even know which one I could do without?
