Pff, buy a real bearded onion, noob. These onion plucking games are the downfall of the onion industry. Just because you can press a bunch of lettered buttons, it doesn't make you a real onion plucker.
Also, their depiction of one of the greatest onions who ever lived is highly offensive. And now the person who made him eat himself is making even more money from his death.
It sickens me to see the fake onion market so saturated.
I was just so pleased by Rhythm Tengoku, and by the superb quality of the sound! I swear, the songs sounded so great on the GBA, I thought there was some extra hardware in the cartridge itself!
Yeah, its sharp. been sitting on mine for a month now till i finish up Tales of Vesperia.
that said, i hear it plays well (timed-attack wise, etc) on PSP, how's it fare emulated on Wii? that was my original plan, hoping it holds up better than on PC.
The reason why Nintendo won't release Mother 3 in English is because despite the fanbase being extremely vocal which gives the impression that it is huge, it's actually very small and Nintendo understands this.
@OpinionMan: but how much would it cost them when the game's done, translation's done, and frnakly, you're not gonna market a GBA title anyway, so after you comp the tranlators and high-five them, you toss it onto VC for straight profit? i get the argument, but i dont know that it applies here.
@Torokun: If this were any other series, I think Nintendo would come down on it fairly quickly. With Mother, though, there are a variety of somewhat convoluted legalsnags that make NOA hesitant to bring the series here officially.
Nintendo, in a rare moment of putting fans before business, seems to have decided to look the other way so that folks outside of Japan can enjoy this work of art. And I couldn't love them more for it.
I think it has already been pointed out that the reason Mother 3 has very little possibility of ever being released outside of japan is because of possible copyright infringement on the games original music.
Not really sure if that's true but from what I've read on different forums and Kotaku, that seems to be the case.
@Esper_tricks: I believe that had more to do with just Earthbound's music. I don't remember too many songs like that in Mother 3, though it does have a couple songs FROM Earthbound so who knows. But that is yet another layer.
Basically, the game would have cost them something like ten times the amount they could have possibly have gotten back.
I thought about getting one of these. They're very beautiful. Why Nintendo has never thought to issue a cease-and-desist, especially for the ROM translation, is still beyond me. I hope they never do, but I know they do know about it (Reggie said as much in an interview), but it seems like they just don't care.
Shigesato Itoi already said that he doesn't care who makes Mother 4. Maybe Nintendo doesn't own as much of the rights to it as I thought and are unable to prosecute because Itoi is the one who doesn't care?
@Derek Rumpler: I don't really see how having a translation for a game is bad. The developers make no profit from it and don't go out telling people to download the game (although that's the only realistic method for getting it in the U.S.).
@Derek Rumpler: Nintendo's lack of cease and desist must be their apology for never releasing it themselves. That's my optimistic view on it, at least.
@Kommissar Kayce: Nintendo didn't make the strategy guide. The same people who made the ROM translation did.
I still intend on supporting Nintendo, even though I did break one of my rules and download and hack the ROM to display in English. When I happen to see a Japanese copy of this game and have the money, I will buy it.
I didn't say Nintendo did. I know they didn't. I was saying they're denying us something that has enough fan drive behind it to have produced a goddamn hardcover english strategy guide for a game we're not going to get.
@Endless Fighter: My PSP plays this game flawlessly. I can even do the timed attacks... My Pc cannot... Tell me how that's even possible!
The PSP has a 233 Mhz processor. My PC is an aging, but still much more powerful AMD 64 3500+ with 3 gigs of ram and an ATI card based on the Radeon HD 3650 line...
How is it possible an emulator running on a 233 mhz mips processor can run better than one running on my PC??

It's all about playing it in public spaces, meeting new people who also like the stuff you like, and having fun with a bunch of friends.
Also it's probably easier to convince non-gamers to play than stuff like DDR, PIU or even Guitar Hero.

An english strategy guide.
For a game not being released over here.
That in order to use this book effectively, you have to get a rom and fantranslate.
Then run it on an emulator of some sort, or your DS.
....
Yes... yes Nintendo... I see all your reasoning behind denying us something that enough people want to have produced a scenario like this... yes...
