Mother 3! In English!

The team from Starmen.net have finally released their labour of love: an English translation of the much-anticipated but never-released-outside-Japan sequel to 1995’s Earthbound. That would be Mother 3. You can find the patch here and should really play this game.

I’ve been following the translation project closely for the past year or so and the work these people have put behind this is phenomenal. Surely enough, the first chapter of the game, which is all I’ve had time for yesterday, plays almost exactly like a professional localised version would. Minus the censorhip, of course.

I’m going back to Mother 3 now, but before I go, I feel like I should thank the team for their time and effort and congratulate them on their excellent work.
