Remember when Aaron so somberly wept over the last shreds of hope regarding a proper translation for Mother 3? As it turns out, he wept a bit prematurely.
HarassmentPanda (which, we're going to assume is not his Christian Name), sent us a link to some work being done over at Mother3.org. They have just released the first video of their efforts on a translation for Mother 3 (aka Earthbound 2, aka Daddy Fat Sacks ...), and it looks fantastic. Ok, actually, it looks exactly like Mother 3, which is, to say, like an SNES game, but in that light, it's some gorgeous work.
Nintendo, this is the public telling you to go c****** f*** yourselves. If you don't want to localize a game we've been clamoring for since the dawn of time in proper King's English, we'll do it for you! Take that! Now you don't have to lift a finger to profit off of us! How does that feel?!
Guys, maybe this wasn't the right way to go about things ...

i cant friggin wait
I've had so many friends play the import with a translation guide or something, but I can't pull myself to do it.
I've always loved EarthBound, from the humor to the storyline to the gameplay and ESPECIALLY the music.
Hell, I think I'm required to love the music considering I'm the guy who put the Bound Together Project together.
God this translation cant come fast enough.
In other news, I think I peed myself. The translation project can't finish soon enough!
I really wish this happened more often

I would love nothing more than to play all my favorite old games on an actual nintendo console (I mean, other than the nes and snes I still have lying around...). But, it's too bad that the virtual console turned out to be what it is. I remember the first time I heard of Revolution, and how I thought this feature was essentially a form of "complete backwards compatibility" and that you'd just have to get online to download roms of all those classics. oh well.

Srsly you could just buy the f****** cartridge from nintendo, and then download the rom, emulator and translation. That is allowed. Otherwise watch the youtube videos of Mother 3 and drool while everyone but you plays.
