Well, I know it's been a few months probably since I've last blogged on here.. I've been laying in wait for the right time to make my comeback... Finally, as of four days ago, that wait has ended.
Mother 3 is here.. The first (and only) game that I've ever imported. I've already played a good 30 hours or so on the GBA and I can tell you this. Despite the fact that the game was in Japanese. It IS one of the best RPGS I've ever played and it does indeed have one of the most compelling storylines I've ever experianced... In fact, the Sound Effects, Gameplay, and Presentation are all top notch. So what's the hitch right? A game like this deserves to be experianced by everyone... The sad thing is.. this game is only available in Japanese....
Something so good should be a shoe-in for Nintendo to cash off of over here.. but for some ominous reason (Despite the outcry from Mother/Earthbound Fan Boys like myself) Nintendo never decided to localize it.. in fact Dodgy and Evasive answers were all any member of the press got when asking Nintendo Of America about it.... Realizing this and taking it into consideration, A small yet dedicated group of people began the unofficial fan translation of Mother 3. That was nearly two years ago... the last year of which I've been following very closely. It's amazing to see this hard work pay off.
I'm only just a few hours into this playthrough, But I wanted everyone to know how proud I am of these individuals for doing something that SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE WANTED. If any of you are reading this, (and I know, It's a slim chance) I just want to say "Thank You.".. Yes, I know, It's Cliche' but, I really want them to know that they've done a great job with this whole thing. I also wanted to let all the friend I know on Gamespot that this is happening. If any of you who are reading this would like, I highly recommend finding this game through some various means on you're computer and getting the patch from Starmen.net..
This is an experience that should not be missed...
