Tomato has completed his translation of Mother 1+2 for Game Boy Advance, which should have a good number of you rejoicing. You can read all about the patch, and download it, by going to this page.
The main focus here is Mother 1. Not only has the script been translated in full, but tweaks to things like text boxes, menus, font readability, and more have been made. If there were ever a time to give this game a shot, now would be it.
As for Mother 2, only the menus have been translated, not the script. Tomato says it isn't really worth the tougher-than-you'd-think effort, though it's not entirely out of the question given enough time and/or money.

This is one heck of a coincidence though. I JUST bought an english reproduction of mother for my NES.
What a pisser. I wanted to play this on my GBA finally.
True, but if anything RPG's are more popular now, and the want for a proper Mother release must be higher than it was back then.
I don't think the new translation will help much in that department, but I'm willing to give it another go.
That'd be because "Lloyd" is how it's meant to be spelt in English. "Loid" or "Roido" is just the phonetics of Japanese Katakana.
