Yeah, this is definitely happening.
This is absolutely not Geoff making an incredibly obvious joke.
Can't wait for this to happen, which it absolutely will.

I was extremely let down by mother 3 when I played it. Hope it does get released because a lot of people obviously want it but the game was meh.

I'm not saying this is the year, but I see no reason for Nintendo to not bring out Mother 3 over here. I've always been convinced it's coming.

it's a Shaft reference. Give it up, people.

buy yourself a copy of the Japanese GBA cart, procure the patched ROM dump that is translated, and burn it to an EEPROM to put in the cart, and enjoy an expertly localized version of the game if you are that against emulation and flash carts, etc.

I've had a translated Mother 3 cart sitting in the GBA slot of my Nintendo DS Lite for years. The game is accessible.

It's an obvious joke.

Even if they did release Mother 3 at this point, it would be so heavily edited that everyone would complain anyway.

Play the fan translation and get on with your life

Mother, you had me
But I never had you
I wanted you
But you didn't want me
So
I just got to tell you
Goodbye
Goodbye

Real talk, I feel like the game's political and philosophical messages is what's keeping the game locked in Japan. The game has clear themes of anti-capitalism, anti-consumerism, anti-fascism, environmentalism, anarcho-communism, and so much more. Changing that to make the game less political would destroy the heart of the game, and keeping it in as is might make the alt-right screech into the night about communist Nintendo.

I mean, they're not being subtle about what the Pigmask Army represents:

I'm going agree it's a misread shaft reference, I'd only see it if nintendo online got GBA games at some point in the future.

After thinking about this for a few mins I'm sure it's not going to happen.

Because Nintendo E3 isn't on Sunday

HAHAHAHAHA-- Shut up, Geoff.

If only Reggie's parting gift was a Mother 3 announcement.

Having never played a Mother game, and seeing it have so much intense, if niche, fans, is it that good?

Any other game that it can be compared with?

Fine, German localization for the PAL Wii U, but only available to purchase in Sweden for some Nintendo reason.
If you thought nazis being in the game was the real reason it wasn't localized, why that market?
(If any in-game aspect is keeping it from being brought over, it's the sexual content, not the evidently radical communist advocacy conceived by a professional copywriter/amateur gold-hunter.)

T'was a joke. (The comment about the localization location, not my feelings on why I feel like they won't localize it. You do bring a fair point though.)
