Even Disney Wants Mother 3 to be Localized

After Disney broadcast the Smash for Wii U finals at EVO 2017, the company has started to show interest in other Nintendo games - specifically, Earthbound sequel Mother 3 (which still doesn't have an official English translation).

It's a GBA game. Unless Nintendo decide to remake it for a newer platform, it's not gonna happen no matter who ask for it.

Tell that to earthbound new beginnings which was a ness game

Just need to virtual console it with a patched in translation

AKA the original Mother. It originally came before Mother 2, which we know as Earthbound. It got released on the west for the first time on the Wii U Virtual Console, 2 years ago:

Oh, so they called it "Beginnings". That's dumb. It was known as EarthBound Zero as an officially English-translated (but never released) NES ROM floating around the web. That's what they get when they take a sequel (Mother 2) and pretend it's the original (EarthBound) upon translation and release in a new market. They have to make up stupid crap like "Beginnings" to smooth it over when the real original finally makes an official appearance.

Mother 3 (EarthBound 2?) has been well translated by industrious fans for a good number of years. Current releases of such old titles use emulation anyway, so there's no reason the entire series (originally on NES, SNES, and GBA) can't be released on a single modern platform.

To be honest, I think its too late for Mother 3, at least in its GBA state. They waited too long and sat on their hands as a fan translation much better than anything the Treehouse could produce flourished instead of trying to get something out in a timely manner. People already played what would be the superior translation even if NoA got off their asses; they'd censor something important and everyone would Nope right out of there and refuse to buy it.

Now a 3DS port with updated sprites, that I could see selling.

PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are Not the Future of Gaming, Says US Analyst

For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.

The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.

Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.

Well Sony never said that, the other camp did and we all know how that went.

Not all know. I am betting those observing this while obscured may have trouble comprehending 😅

Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.

At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.
