Finally I can cross Mother 1 and 3 off my video game bucket list. I do prefer the gameplay to Earthbound, but I think I like that game's story more. I like that the run button from Mother 1 is back (like fr why'd they get rid of that?)
We'll see how it stands whenever I play it again, whenever that may be. Sad that I don't have anymore Mother to play.

An absolute masterpiece. One of the most gripping stories in any video game I have ever played, and most certainly in any 2D game to date. Do not wait for Nintendo to translate this game, it does not matter who translates it. Play the fan made one and be done with it, you do not need a multi-billion dollars corporation’s consent to enjoy this masterwork of art.
I wanted to love this one badly, but eventually i stopped forcing myself to play it as i wasn't enjoying it, my friend recommended it to me after we had a discussion around Undertale, saying that it was inspired by this series.
I can see why others like it, its probably a masterpiece, but unfortunately it wasnt for me.
If they remaster it i will be down to giving it another try.

Bought the English translated GBA cart and played it primarily on my Gamecube's Gameboy Player. Started this unrelated to the whole NSO release that happened for Japan. For years, I never wanted to play the Mother 3 Fan Translation because I was still holding out the small semblance of hope that Nintendo will one day do an official release, though I REALLY wanted to play it. It wasn't until about 3 or 4 years ago that I finally kind of had the epiphany and came to terms with that, IF Nintendo of America ever did release and localize this game, it's going to be in some basterdized, inauthentic form for a variety of reasons, whether it be because of the music, certain characters that Nintendo may feel are "too topical for America's current political climate", darker story elements being toned down, the games distinct art style or maybe a mix of all these things. The fan translation is THE most authentic way you can play this game, and I'm so happy it exists and to have played it. It's been a WHILE since a new game has entered my "favorite games of all time". But Mother 3 definitely cracks it. How it compares to Mother 2 for me is complicated. If it makes sense, I think in a lot of ways, Mother 2 is the better game, being so ahead of its time. But maybe its because Mother 3 is less focused on being a parody and more comfortable with telling its own story, that I think I prefer this to Mother 2 ever so slightly. (That and the rhythm combat combined with the rolling numbers is probably my favorite combat system of any JRPG now ((sorry Paper Mario TTYD)) ). I don't know if this game will ever really get released in the west, I'd still be interested in trying whatever Nintendo officially puts out. But don't wait if your still holding out for some reason, the fan translation is THE authentic way to play the game, not whatever Frankenstein Nintendo of America may or may not put out one day.
Que jogo incrível...uma masterpiece que não deveria ficar exclusivo do Japão, em minha opinião eu prefiro o segundo jogo, mas esse também é muito fodaaa; como sempre nessa franquia, visuais, estética, trilha sonora incrível com aspecto inocente só que com várias coisas dark e macabras, o jogo chega a ser difícil em certas partes, principalmente quando as áreas são cheias de inimigos, e os bosses também chegam a ser muito difíceis, o que vai precisar de um pouco de grinding, o prólogo do jogo é incrível e emocionante com tragédias acontecendo logo de cara, os personagens do jogo são carismáticos, bem construídos e com suas motivaçõe (Flint um dos melhores personagens do jogo... não merecia sofrer tanto)...e a história desse jogo é outra coisa incrível a parte, esse jogo possui um plot twist do caralho, que te pega de surpresa e faz você ficar bem pensativo, nunca vi algo assim em um jogo da Nintendo, simplesmente foda, e o final...minha nossa, Mother/Earthbound é bem emocionante mesmo, chorei demais. Jogo incrível nota 10
