Ngl, even as the biggest Mother 3 stan this doesn’t even sting anymore, it’s been 18 years. I’m just glad I got to enjoy the fan translation. Makes sense that they would put it on VC in japan since it costs them virtually nothing to do so, if it ever released outside of Japan it’d have to be a remake of some sorts that they could actually sell to recoup localization costs.

This is so fucking funny. Nintendo had the chance to do the funniest thing and they fucking did it.

You can’t make it up
At least we’re getting Blastcorps
My disappointment is immense
Reggie where you at
Can one change their region in order to circumvent it?
They know we want it. They HAVE to know we want it.
Man Who Thought He’d Lost All Hope Loses Last Additional Bit Of Hope He Didn’t Even Know He Still Had
That’s not funny
This really stings. While i’m not surprised, this is one of games i’ve wished for the most for NSO.
Reggie you motherfucker
At this point it’s starting to feel personal
No fucking way

Reminder that you can download it and play it on your Switch. If you know Japanese of course….
**Hides in a bunker**
That’s just cruel
>Only available in Japan
Because it was never officially localized anywhere else 🙁
No, they’re not doing the work to localize it, and no, they’re not going to use the existing and excellent fan translation either.
Japan got the better Direct.
LMFAO
I expect nothing and am still let down
Wake me up inside (save me)
Those cowards!
Yeah this pretty much just confirm there’s no hope for an offcial localization.
If you still haven’t played it, just use Tomato’s translation. If Nintendo doesn’t want our money, then no need to give them it.
Well looks like I’ll finally be making that Japanese alt account
“C’mon Reggie, give us Mother 3!”
They’re just rubbing the salt on the wound now
Serious question, can I still play this in the US? Do I just switch my language to Japanese? I speak Japanese.
Really Nintendo?
Emulating the fan translation it is then.
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
It’s never coming to the US and we all just need to accept that.
Emulate that shit. Fuck Nintendo
You’ve been able to play this for years, pretty much every device you own will be able to play this game, just go play it if you want to.
Look, you can [play it in your browser](https://www.retrogames.cc/gameboyadvance-games/mother-3-eng.html)! It’s not even piracy(in the EU at least) because this damn thing isn’t released here, there is literally no way to give money to Nintendo for this.
