Mother 3 PATCH IS OUT NOW WAAAAAHHHHh

[Translucid]

IT'S RIGHT HEREEEEE




So, the boys over at http://mother3.fobby.net/ are getting ever closer to completion for translating Mother 3. They update pretty frequently, so it's like a replacement for the Smash Bros Dojo.

Here's a video of the progress. It looks great so far.

They've got a to-do list up as well, which is starting to look mostly knocked out.

I sorta wish sites like this wouldn't advertise stuff like this until it's done. Remember the Chrono Trigger for the N64 or whatever?

Says who.

it's a rom translation patch. thousands have been done in the past. they're going to release a file. you patch it to rom. you play it on an emulator.

these people are breaking no laws at all with this project, the people who play the translation (using roms) will be.

this isnt the same as the chrono trigger fan-game. that was using characters that they did not own, stories they did not own, recreating a company's property. squaresoft had every right to go after them. same thing could happen to people who remake popular games with RPG Maker.

this is a file containing text. english text. english text that they wrote. nothing illegal about that.

patching the rom however, could very well be illegal. I dont know about something like that. I know patching RPG Maker XP was illegal, because the EULA forbids it.

this is going to happen.

Re: Mother 3 Translation progress

All the more reason for Nintendo to get off their lazy asses and translate it, then release it in the U.S. themselves. There is demand for it, as evidenced by this project(I've been keeping up on it myself) and the popularity of Brawl, but they're ignoring that because someone high up at NOA seems to personally dislike the Mother series.

Re: Mother 3 Translation progress

Because Mother is EVIL.

Just like Garr's Mom.

Re: Mother 3 Translation progress

nintendo doesnt hate earthbound/mother, nintendo promised the people at starmen.net that earthbound is coming to the VC in winter of 2007!

Re: Mother 3 Translation progress

Oh that is good. We won't have to wait long if it is coming out in 2007.

Re: Mother 3 Translation progress

from interview with cofounder of starmen.net

How long would you guess before Nintendo brings Earthbound to the Virtual Console?

I'll be surprised if we don't see it in the next few weeks.
