Why won't they just localize it?
During E3, they talked about how they localized Dragon Quest 7 due to fan demand.
There is HUGE fan demand for Mother 3, the twitch stream was full of people yelling for Mother 3.
So what gives?
I realize this is probably a dead topic on /v/, but I've only been here 2 or 3 times.
I never heard Nintendo's reasoning on why, or if they've said anything at all.....hmm.
Because it's almost ten years old? Imagine if people were bitching in 2006 for a 1996 PS1 jrpg that didn't get localized. Just be happy there's a fan translation.
Why localize it? So you can brag about how much of a potty-mouth Kumatora is to your Microsoft friends?
18+, kiddo.

this legitimately made me laugh. good job
>>341556261
Weren't there rumors of a localization this year?
>>341557351
Dang is an easy replacement for damn, bro.
Would it really need an 18+ rating, though?
It does have some uh, child death in it I guess...and then there's the whole Tanetane island thing.....

I wasn't referring to the game, dumb-dumb. I was referring to the age that you have to be in order to post here.

Fucking Earthbound zero was localized.
I bet this game will get localized too in no time.
>>341557826
This....
>>341557826
Don't you Motherfags get enough shit anyway? You guys get more than what you deserve.
Why bother? You think they don't know about the fan translation?
There's no money to be made.
>>341556261
>already a free high quality translation
>"WHY WON'T NINTENDO DO SOMETHING POINTLESS BECAUSE MY DIAPER WAAAHHHHH!?"
Sure is NeoFag in here
>>341558394
What can you say? Motherfags are whiny and pouty. They need to be ran out.
Nintendo would gut it to hell. I do want a Mother 4 though.
>>341558394
This. It's not like they're making another game in the series anyways.
People who fall for Emily Rogers lies.
>I want nintendo to ruin the sexual harassement joke
>>341557826
Mother 1 had an official translation since the early 90s. They just chose not to release it at the time.
They put zero work into "Earthbound beginnings".
>>341557826
That's because the completed rom has just been lying around for 2 decades.
>>341556261
>wanting NoA to gut yet another game with their """""""localization"""""""
We actually got lucky they never did, since it meant we got an actually decent translation.
>>341558689
>Mother 4
>>341558394
Not to mention that the fan translation is probably more accurate than any poorly made, heavily censored Treehouse localization stuffed full of memes and internet culture would ever be.

>>341559743
nah
people getting mad at the game for using the series' name are getting butthurt for no reason
I mean, I gave up hope that the game would ever be released like three years ago, and I still think it's a waste of good rage to hate on them for taking the name
YOU ALREADY HAVE A HIGH QUALITY TRANSLATION FOR FUCKING FREE
NOTHING IS EVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU FAGS
>>341556261
There's already a fan translation of the game circulating everywhere. Nintendo and Itoi themselves have acknowledged it.
There's no point in localizing it if it's already been translated and played by many.
>>341556261
Anybody who would want to play the game already played the fan translation, what's the point?
You know they would censor it completely right?
>>341560681
I can imagine their excuses.
>I want to support the developers!
Import the Japanese version and buy merchandise
>I want to support future titles!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
