add to the equation the spoilerific magical beings and their apparent method to release someone's hidden power.

Yes, that's what I was referring to :D

Oh, I thought you meant that scene where certain famous celebrity shows up.

[Corpus]

I haven't got to that bit, yet. But yeah, the tunnel scene is

And then it's a bit

And he's all, 

And you just wander off too bewildered to , though happily accompanied by new Friends.


Anyway, I don't think that's a reason for Ninty not to bring it to the West. I mean, they have Mr. Stab-People-With-A-Chainsaw-Arm coming out soonish. It's just that EarthBound barely sold over here, as a result (I have read) of an awful advertising campaign.

[Alevice]

Well, the western often finds sexual overtones in games far more offensive that mindless violence.


You can rip limbs, but you can't show tits.

[Corpus]

Yeah, that's true. There could well be an American media shitstorm akin to the Mass Effect embarrassment.

Then again, I don't know if Mother 3 would be high-profile enough to warrant media attention.

Then again, the news of the fan translation spread through the internet like some kind of highy-powerful explosion that is also everywhere at once, so maybe it's bigger than it seems.

[Cheater‽]

Reminds me of this article.

[Corpus]

I think Mother 3 definitely qualifies as a mature game, in the non-idiotic sense of the word. In fact, Itoi has said as much in an interview.

[Don Andy]

Mother 3 is a mature game that doesn't take it itself TOO serious, which makes it so awesome.

Also I've recently heard of the removed bossfight, which makes it even more interesting, seeing that it features pretty disturbing content.

Since I have lost interest in playing this due to emulator lag, can someone unspoiler this railtracks thing to me?

Basically, Lucas gets raped by a magic transvestite to awaken his PSI powers, one of which is "PK Love"

HOYL SHIT!
All I can say is D:

[Corpus]

He doesn't necessarily. You can't tell, because the screen goes black. Read the bit of the Itoi interview that I linked to, anyway.

[Don Andy]

It would be so much less disturbing if he wouldn't face the guy with his back.

For anyone who has palyed a little enough on Mother 3, you would know why nintendo, given their family friendly policies, wouldn't bring it to the states and neighbors.

Yeah, they do have that slant unfortunately but I don't consider it to be an acceptable excuse. Nintendo releases mature themed games occasionally so I don't see why they can't release this.

Honestly, it wouldn't really sell that well here.
Unless they released it as a compilation with all three games to provide context.

This would make more sense due to the fact that most people's exposure of the Mother series is with Earthbound.

I seriously think that if it was marketed well enough and sold as a compilation it would sell. There's enough people who want Mother and I bet a few more people who love Earthbound and haven't played Mother to warrant to say that more then a few people would buy it if promoted properly.

[Don Andy]

I've read of this Mother compilation being planned for DS, but it's probably a japanese only thing again.

[Alevice]

Am I the only one finding chapter 7 somewhat though?
