Didn't someone send an email to Nintendo to C&D this? Look how that turned out lol, looks like they don't give a fuck just like with the Mother 3 translation
Christ this looks so tryhard.
I know why Nintendo's not getting involved-it would draw ATTENTION to this shit.
Itoi has stated that he is done with the Mother franchise and even went further to say the fans would have to make a Mother 4.
So that's exactly what fans are doing.
>>253680861
>b-but only Nintendo can make a good game
So they even refuse to translate Mother 3? Why?
>>253680953
So from what I'm getting, you want a Mother thread?
I can't wait for the fan attempt try hard Giygas mindfuck final boss.
lol ur mom is the worst series
>>253681063
I don't know the official reason, but I'm willing to bet immortal transsexuals being important to the plot have something to do with it.
I've been replaying Earthbound since people compare it to Mother 3 a lot and they really are quite different. As in, Earthbound feels a lot more like a Dragon Quest game, whereas Mother 3 is more unique by focusing more on the plot and narrative from the start, whereas EB's plot only starts picking up around halfway through. Which one do you guys prefer? I think I prefer Mother 3, but it's a difficult choice.
>>253680861
>this looks so tryhard
What the fuck are you on about? It looks like a Mother game would.
>>253681063
They saw that fans already did it themselves and downloaded the shit out of it so they just didn't bother
>>253680861
>this looks so try hard
>>253680664
i fucked ur mother
>>253681063
The first Mother game went through hell with its translation. Earthbound met with lukewarm reception in the west. Historically, the series is not popular, and spending the money to release a translation of a game released 10 years ago is not a viable business move.
>>253681362
That's it.
>>253680861
>>253681409
i fucked your earthbo- I mean mother 2
>>253681063
Corporations don't apologize unless they really REALLY have to.
>>253681294
Well you're comparing 2 games from 2 decades.
Things change. Menus stop lagging. Graphics transform. And now you have something to improve on rather than create.
>>253681362
That's the problem. It looks like a Mother game, but it's not "officially endorsed" by Nintendo. He plays games for the novelty of having an "authentic" experience, and not for fun.
>>253681652
i fucked your mother 3official release
>>253681409
>>253681652
My mother's dead
Hard to believe that Nintendo doesn't want to be involved with the mother series despite interest rising with the smash bros games and a larger following now than before,
>not calling it Mother: A Fangame Subtitle
>>253681816
Ask them this and see what they answer.
the more /v/ hates this game, the more excited i am for it
>>253680664
>still viraling this shit
You would get better response being subtle
>>253681784
so?
>>253681784
that only makes my penis harder
>>253681453
There is no Mother "series" in the west, there's a singular game, Earthbound. A game that came with what, an eighty dollar pricetag and was completely unknown? Gee whiz, wonder why it didn't sell well.
>>253681941
I'm not asking nobody nothing, but since you're telling me to ask them I'm sure they'll get mad or something I don't know.
>>253681704
Maybe they should've made Mother 4 into a FPS do it doesn't look so tryhard right?
>>253682053
>viraling a free game
I haven't played Earthbound in about 10 years. I know I should be pissed at the Platinum reward but at least I got Earthbound to replay and enjoy. I might play Mother 3 after since I actually haven't play it yet.
>>253681691
And both games has different philosofies behind them, the big gap between those two also changed Itoi as a person, hence the difference in tone, setting and plot.
Both are amazing games, Earthbound has top notch gameplay for the time, Mother 3 is a really creative take on the turn system with the rhtyhm based combos.
For me, I prefer Mother 3 over Earthbound, but you can't really say one is better than the other
who starmen.net here
>>253682127
The weird marketing is also a great factor why Earthbound didn't sell well, luckily, the game is the most succesful in the VC
>>253682282
Is that site still alive? I used to go there a lot in the mid to late 2000's.
I can't imagine it thriving as it used to with the mother 3 translation finished for years now.
>>253682282
I used to like the page, before it got run by technocolor horses
>>253682282
Jesus christ never again.
>>253682282
Isn't that site infested with ponyfags?
>>253682408
Earthbound also came out before the JRPG fever hit the west. Nintendo not translating Mother 3 was a huge blunder, and it's too late at this point, guess they just didn't want out gaijin-bucks.I'd still buy it legit if they translated it.
>>253682282
I only ever went there for translations and hacks.
I have no idea what the community is like other than https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSLlJ7oJ4eI&list=UUPXGGoCEEqniF1rbGii7HEg and a few let's players.
>>253681063
Because it was a Gameboy Advance that came out in japan in 2006, while the DS was already 2 years old. The GBA was already on it's deathbed at that point. Earthbound sold like shit in NA and never was released in Europe until Wii U VC. It's a massive game to translate, far more effort than lets say Kirby. It's basic business why didn't release it here.
That said, they could now release it now on the Wii U but it be a lot of effort to translated the whole game for something that probably wouldn't sell all that much.
Or they could due a bundle for all the games in the series on the 3DS to celebrate the 25th anniversary .
Literally nobody would care about this if they didn't decide to call it Mother 4.
>>253682739
>and it's too late at this point
Well, they did that joke in the E3 direct, and Earthbound was a massive hit in the VC, so there's a little ray of hope.
>>253682791
It was overrun by ponyfags, imagine /mlp/ but as a huge hugbox
Looks neat. I don't give a fuck if it's shit, I will play it anyway.
>>253682739
I think a good few would. I feel Nintendo could easily make a small bit of profit if they just translate it and gave it out on the eShop. That and Mother 1 since it's already done so it cost them nothing.
the real question is, why don't they put the whole series in English on Wii U virtual console? they paid for a translation of Mother 1 that they never released, EarthBound's already there, and Mato said they can have his translation for free.
hell, make it a "Mother 1+2+3" deal where you buy all three together for $15 or something (EB is $10 as is). it would easily make back any costs on their end just from the fans the series already has
>>253681816
>Not just Stepmother
>>253683021
>Well, they did that joke in the E3 direct
During a robot chicken skit.
Where they also promised not to reveal any more mario games, then announced 3 mario games.
I'm just as excited about the fangame Eagleland, but nobody seems to have even heard of it most places. This one's also pretty far along.
>>253683159
And fucking Earthbound is the best selling game in that shit, they fucking know we want the goddamn games and we would pay for them
>>253682282
Was that Mother 3 guide they published worthwhile? I regret not buying one.
Just went to check to see if they had any available, and saw this in the store.

Reggie hates it for a reason. The only people that wouldn't complain are ironically feminist because Kumatora is actually a strong character. These themes aren't suited for Nintendo, at least out of Japan.
>>253682791
What a terrible waitress, spilling beverages and glasses everywhere as she doesn't even fucking try to balance the tray.
>>253683280
They also joked about Star Fox, and Miyamoto confirmed a new Star Fox game is in development.
>>253683280
Well dude, at least they reconized that the fucking game exists
>>253683280
A "Mario game" would be something like a New Super Mario Bros or Super Mario 3D World, dummy.
>>253683159
Nintendo would never let anyone else translate their work. And they just don't care I feel. They can easily make a small bit of profit by releasing each by itself for full cost and no one would really complain (I mean we finally got it right). But Nintendo just feel there's no point. One thing is that they mostly just focus on Japan and think of us as an afterthought.
>>253683317
>No BRs in Eagleland.

I'm not even interested in this because I haven't even played mother yet, but this is the shittiest criticism I have ever seen.
>>253683728
That's a stage editor, not an actual game with levels and stuff, but I'll give you that, since I totally forgot they announced it.
>>253681050
youre retarded
>>253683728
Mario Maker doesn't really count as a game, or at least, not a new game.
Isn't it just a level editor?

>world without the southern hemisphere

Go fuck yourself, fanboy. By the way - Your post did not damage my gaming experience. You're only limiting yourself. It did not affect me in any significant way.
>>253683927
>>253684001
I assume you'll be able to share levels online, like Littlebigplanet. I'd say it counts as a game.
>>253683881
And you are right, there are some idiots going around here yelling how they hate the fact they are making a free fan game with the name "mother 4"
>>253680861
This. Wouldn't devs just stop putting EFFORT into games.
We don't want good games!
>these threads every single time
>>253684079
This is a sfw board.
The biggest problem I have with this fan game is them calling it Mother 4. That is just INCREDIBLY pretentious. And you play the Mother series for Itoi's brand of charm. Even if they try to copy it, it would either be too different, too safe, or just plain shit. There are other much better JRPGs that you could play. Hell, there are better games made in RPGmaker that you could play.
I'm also convinced that this is viral.
>b-but you can't viral a free game!
They still want the attention, page views, and download numbers so they can have an ego boost, and also justify future projects.
>>253683836
Maybe but I feel we will never actually get it because Nintendo felt the games are over and any effort on them is pointless. And like I said they care about Japan and America as a afterthought...with Europe as something that's there but can't remember them often enough.
>>253680664
When will mother 4 come out?
>>253684378
except Itoi explicitly said he doesn't want to make a Mother 4 and that other people are free to do so
it would be pretentious if he hadn't said that but he did
>>253680861
Go away, Reggie.
>>253684512
Tonight.
>>253684378
nobody cares
>>253681362
Making an authentic game without the blessings of the creator is cancer, even if the game is fantastic. It should be C&D'd as hard and fast as possible and its developers sued into oblivion.
>>253684512

>>253684665
"The fans would have to create Mother 4" is pretty much a blessing.
I just looked into it. It looks pretty decently made, but the names are awful. Ninten -> Ness -> Lucas -> Travis?
Meryl? Lloyd? Leo?

Baby's First Troll, people reply every time.
>>253685008
Whoever made this clearly has no respect for Itoi.
>>253680664
I would say that they shouldn't call it Mother 4 because if Nintendo released Mother 4 it would look wierd, but Nintendo aren't going to release Mother 4, Itoi isn't working on it anymore and without good old Shige you can't have another one.
It looks kind of good, I like the characters already.
>>253685174
I just really, really hate the name Travis.
http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/04/shigesato-itoi-discusses-mother-4/
ITOI: The feeling of, “I want a MOTHER 4 to be released!” is inside me, too. Even if it’s not something I need to do, I still feel that way. Still, there isn’t someone for me to watch over from afar anymore. If there were a fourth game, I’d want to be the player.
>>253685159

O-okay...
>>253685278
>Still, there isn’t someone for me to watch over from afar anymore.
>>253684665
I don't see why. If a game is good and doesn't outright copy assets from other games, I think it should be allowed to exist.
>>253685159
It's because there's nothing to fucking hype about it. I don't get why people keep making these threads. It will catch it's proper wind of discussion when it comes out.
>>253683787

I'd be more into this if it were made on a ROM or something I can could take on any of my devices.
Imagine Nintendo picked it up and ported it?
This game looks fun
>>253686154

>>253686490
>tfw when you get the mystical gloves and mystical stick on the same playthrough
>>253685352
>>253685713
It's an obvious troll thread, I think the only reason why they get blown up so much is because people think they can just turn it into a regular Mother thread as if nothing's going to happen.
>>253683443
>aren't suited for nintendo
They published Conker and Perfect Dark back in the N64 days, and they're publishing Bayonetta 2 now. There really isn't much that isn't suited for Nintendo.
>>253686230
the fuck does that mean to me? it's still computer only
>>253686926
being a mother fan means taking things in stride and just trying to roll with it and have fun
Am I alone in that I hate the Mother 3 style change vs Earthbound's? Particularly in the heads/faces. Like in the OP pic, that guy in back with the creepy giant fucking head and pedosmile.
>>253685159
>>253687265
I like the 2nd row best.
>>253683443
Are you telling me, that the company that published Conker's Bad Fur Day, and is funding Bayo 2, publishing Devil's Third and fucking Splatoon wouldn't publish Mother 3 because of it's themes?
And if everything fails, couldn't we just harass Xseed to publish the game? they published Pandora's Tower after all, and they have bought scripts translated by fans for Ys Origin and Felghana
What are the chances of Jeff fixing shit up at night?
>>253680861
Kill yourself.
>>253687394
I always thought the 2nd to last was better.
>>253681691
Mother 3 started development immediately after Earthbound was finished. The final script was finished around 2001, while the story (as we know it went into shape in 1995). I'd say it was pretty innovative for a 909's relic.
>>253687265
2nd and 4th row is bretty gud
>>253687809
Same here.
>>253681816
Itoi said he wanted to play someone else's Mother 4. You whiny faggots are so irritating.
>>253687809
It's better than the final row, I'll give you that
That fucking guy with the giant head though just freaks me out. It looks so goddamn retarded.
>>253687880
*1990's relic.
Why the fuck did I misspell that.
>>253687265
I really like the final stuff.
>>253688007
I think it's just because he's an adult.
They're not exactly after something unless it's piracy. A fangame isn't piracy. A translation patch isn't either, trchnically.
>>253687531

Yea, I wonder why?
>>253688253
So, if I just keep raising Jeff's IQ, he'll eventually fix everything? Alright.

Fucking
wasted
opportunity
I hope they get a C&D. There was drama about the name since the very beginning. They seemed to get the wrong idea about Itoi wanting to be a player if there was ever another mother game.
It's like calling your game Super Mario Bros™ 5
>>253688345
You haven't played the best game in the series because the sprites look freaky?
>>253689071
did Miyamoto ever say he has no plans to make a Super Mario Bros 5 and that he'd like to be a player?
what do you think "wants to be a player" means other than "someone else can make it, I'm not going to"?

>They seemed to get the wrong idea about Itoi wanting to be a player if there was ever another mother game.

>>253689275
He also said our very lives we're living right now are Mother 4.
>>253689297
Perhaps having another Japanese company take on the role.
It doesn't really matter in the end, but I still think some subtitle or something quirky is a much better name than Mother 4.
>>253684001
Yeah, I'm sure pretty much the same thing has been made a bunch of times too, but the thought of playing everyone's levels is exciting. I also like how you can switch between classic and new (I wonder if that will change things as far as enemies though).
The best I've got with this sort of thing is playing a sort of shitty sort of fun mod of the Wii game.
>>253687265
2, 5, 4, 5, 4 imo
>>253688552
I dunno, Pokemon has been getting pretty dark.
Like how the villains in X and Yjust wanna nuke everything.
>>253681063
because the game has trannies and serious adult themes like religion and multiple family members dying, and it isn't going to be hugely profitable in america (according to nintendo), also when it was released the ds lite was about to come out so it would be silly to release a gba game when the gba was dead during that time in america.
all we can really hope for now is a virtual console release or some sort of "EARTHBOUND ULTIMATE COLLECTION" which probably wont happen

no it's everybody else, the same faggots who tried to blackmail on shit because it's not made by nintendo
remember the URA Zelda project?
remember the Starfox fangame?
>>253692921
Or maybe they're not wetting their pants for an amateur game that lacks originality and piggybacks on something successful
But please, put your fingers in your ears and post another image from your reaction folder.
It actually looks good guys

Those, as far as I'm aware, are still going, and nobody on /v/ (who isn't shitting on them by default) really cares. The few threads I've seen about Ura Zelda have been overwhelmingly positive

does Noill have a blogspot? last time he did something was the spaltoon stuff and kumatora's rainbow/spike gloves
>>253692856
I'm the "asshole" for not crying for a C&D? I'm the "asshole" for wanting these guys to go through with their vision?
People like you and the others in this thread prove that /v/ is full of manchildren who stomp their feet when people are creating things they don't like. Grow up, other people have access to the same pop culture you do, and they're actually making something.

I hadn't known this existed, but I'm glad I do now
>>253693869
Dude, when was the last time you heard of them? As far as I know Ura Zelda was dropped because Seth wanted to add all kinds of stupid shit in the game and Shadows of Lylat has been cancelled, and had it's source code released

thanks for inflating the Earthbound carts, faggots
Nintendo doesn't even own this IP. It belongs to Itoi.
Mother 4 looks good even if a bunch of the team members are giant douches.
And Cognitive Dissonance is already a fun completed mother fangame rpg. It's just not called mother 4 so no one cares.
>>253689297
Probably to some other dev at Nintendo to take the helm and create the game
>>253690190
Essentially this. I used to post on that forum since it was chill as fuck and even added people on AIM. After it was gone though it was pretty much "fuck it" from there. The forum doesn't even exist anymore either, and neither do all the retarded theories about how and when the game would be translated.
Kept me hype as fuck for Brawl though I can tell you that.
>>253694750
I always wanted to try that game out, but I never get the chance to.
What exactly is it like?
>>253694159
>these guys to go through with their vision?
But it's not THEIR vision, though, and that's the problem.
If it was their vision, then great. Go nuts.
But it's not. It's Itoi's vision, as filtered through a bunch of fanboys with zero experience.
If they were making their own game, and billed it as a "Spiritual successor", we might actually have something, but the fact that they're actually calling it "Mother 4" shows that they have no idea about basic concepts like artistic integrity.
You know why Earthbound and Mother 3 are such amazing games?
Because the people making them didn't set out to make a good Mother game.
They set out to make a good game, and then tried to fit it into the Mother universe.
These guys have it exactly backwards. By simply giving it the name Mother 4, they're dedicated to making an "Authentic" Mother experience, as opposed to a good game.
It's going to be a "Heart Warming" story full of "Kooky" moments and "Crazy" enemies, and it's going to have really weird and catchy music and it's going to be done in a simplistic, high-saturation art style, and it's going to fail in every regard, save basic, surface-level appearance. Because those things won't be there to serve the purpose of the game, but because all the other Mother games had these things, so in order to be a Mother game, this one has to, too! Which is completely and utterly missing the point.
>>253695126
I know they aren't owned, but I'm confident Alpha Dream could build upon M3's rhythmic battle system quite nicely.
>>253691481
ayyy lmaoSeriously though. A lot of people have problems with it because it's called Mother 4. You can't call it that unless you have Itoi at the helm of it. Call it something else, and people would respond more positively towards it.

>These guys have it exactly backwards. By simply giving it the name Mother 4, they're dedicated to making an "Authentic" Mother experience, as opposed to a good game.
I agree with this.
Having it as a spiritual successor/inspired by Mother works better than naming it Mother 4. As developers, their priority should be making the game as good as possible and making it stand out rather than riding on the coattails of the series that they're trying to emulate.
>>253689234
Who's the black guy?
>>253696437
play mother 3
>>253694406
It was a long while back.
I did a google search on Ura Zelda just now, and I am sad. It's been officially cancelled. It's a shame, it looked pretty good!
>>253692875
Rare wasn't very good at that point anyway though. Not bad enough to drop all their series, but as I understand it it came down to a bidding war that Nintendo didn't feel was worth it.
>>253695302
It has an involved story like m3 but with more of a m1 atmosphere and earthbound exploration and graphics.
It takes place between m1 and m2 and connects to m3.
The combat system doesn't have scrolling bars though and it's the kind of rpg where every character has a bar that fills up relative to their speed before they get their turn to attack.

God damn it, I guess I've reached the point where I'll look up this poor guy's videos.
Alright, just finished Mother
Should I move on the EarthBound or Mother 3? I already beat Earthbound this year, though

WHY DONT THEY JUST FUCKING PUT THE GAME ON 3DS ESHOP.
WHY ARE THERE NO FUCKING GOOD GBA GAMES ON ESHOP.
IM NOT GONNA BUY A FUCKING WIIU, I DONT MIND PAYING FOR GAMES NINTENDO IM TRYING TO HELP YOU.
>inb4emulating
IVE EMULATED IT I JUST WANNA HAVE THE DAMN GAME ON SOMETHING THATS NOT MY PHONE.
Man, I fucking love the Mother 3 art style. It's so simple and pleasant. Too bad the rest of the game is mediocre.

fucking nintendo. I knew this portable was bad news when they removed the fucking cartridge port,.
>>253699104
Well, if you already beat EB this year, then it should still be fresh in your mind. Just go for Mother 3.
>>253686935
Rare themselves published everywhere except Europe, where THQ published it
>>253702192
And to be honest, the file I was playing Mother with have been there since 2012, so by the time I picked it up again to finish it I was in Yungtown, pretty much near the end
