And by that, I mean more than just Earthbound.

The picture of the unpainted-statue (which seems to resembles chocolate, but if it were a chocolate figurine, I wouldn't eat it. Really. But, regardless, *licks lips*) somehow makes me hungry.
On a side note: "fuzzy pickles".
..that is all.

Happy 20th anniversary, and thanks Itoi for being such a genius.

I play this game yearly, and it's still just as fun as the first time I played it.

Incidentally, I was playing it on my DS Lite earlier today. I have a save file at the beginning of Chapter 5 and I think I want to restart the game for the hell of it.
Maybe I'll just get the new patch and play it on PC.

Truthfully, I have never played this game series before and always find it intriguing when someone cries for a Western release. Well here's hoping for one since I want to see what the big deal is.

Mother 3, I think shows more how far a family is willing to go for a mother. I can't say a whole lot more without ruining some of the story but it's a really strong story I think.
However, I should note that Itoi has said that the name Mother is greatly influenced by John Lennon's song "Mother."

That, and the main character's mother is a strong thematic element in each of the games, though in different ways, as Ueziel points out.
And good on you for giving it a go. Don't let the antiquated battle system deter you; the game's story and overall presentation can be very engaging and moving if you get into it.
Here's hoping you join the ranks of us Mother fans!

Mother 2 and 3 are two of the best games in the history of all games.

There are just some legal factors that aren't explained and won't be and people have made up their own reasonings for it rather than the simplest idea. No company hates their own products.

Iwata feels that if it can't be done right, he won't do it at all. He was the producer you know?

As far as why the game was never released, I see a potential problem with the 7... err, cross-dressers that play a rather pivotal role in the game, but beyond that there's nothing terribly objectionable. As I understand it, there has even been excitement amongst industry professionals over the caliber of work present in the game's translation.
All in all, it's a top notch guide and translation job, and all support possible should be given to the guys who made it happen. I think I'm done gushing.

by the by, is everyone else playing this on PSP, or where? i got a DS/GBA homebrew setup but i just like the screen there better.

Great game, by the way. And to answer your question, I played through it on my Wii through the homebrew channel. My choices were either on the Wii or my computer, and if I did it on the Wii, I had a better controller, my friends could watch, and I would be less tempted to cheat with save states. I loved Earthbound, but I think that this was even better.
