What went right in the east? What went wrong in the west? And what about Earthbound 64? What would come out of that if it were finished?

Not being released in the West is what went wrong.
Terrible marketing on NoA's part.
The series in general is better targeted at Japanese audiences.
MOTHER 3 came out very late into the GBA's lifespan and it wouldn't have been worth translating at the time.

is it that hard?

Have you played the game at all?
>>337961813
I have, in fact I lost my progress on my old computer when I was on the chapter where you explore the volcano. So I never go to finish it.
EB64 probably wouldn't transform into a 3d rpg as sucessfully as the loz series.
Mother 3 by itself is near perfect, the spritework and ost are beautiful despite being on the gba.

Volcano!Inferno! Is such a cool track

The game or translating M3?
The game isn't that difficult, I think it's more the style of writing and story that they prefer.
Translating it wouldn't be difficult, but by the time it was finished it would basically be a T-rated GBA game released around the same time (if not after) the release of the DS, in a series that previously wasn't popular at all in that market.

From what I gathered from the fan translation team it actually was quite difficult to translate. It was basically built from the ground up to work with the japanese language on the GBA and used kanji to represent the characters' names in battle which allowed them to be super condensed. They basically had to redesign and mod in custom menus and whatnot to get it to work right. Considering the GBA was all but dead and Mother wasn't really meant for the West, the juice would not have been worth the squeeze.

Posting best battle theme. You already went ahead and posted the best overworld theme.
Is Porky the most despicableand tragiccharacter in video games?
Waiting to replay this gem until E3 is over.
I bought the fan guide cause it's charming as hell, it would be neat to have a Nintendo translation and play it while referring to the guide which uses the Tomato translation.
The real reason I want to play it with a guide is because I missed the Sticky Shield Snatcher last time.

Mother 3 and 64 are literally the same game
>>337967857
OKEY
So in the character's perspective, how do music combos work? Do they just hear music playing in the background and decided to bash the enemy to the rhythm?
>>337968590
They have instruments right?
