On with the fanthoughts!

I think the whole Mother 1 + 2 thing's REALLY cool, though I think it'd been cooler if they would quit REMAKING EVERYTHING AND COME OUT WITH SOMETHING NEW!

Granted, Mother 1 has never been released (legally) in the US, but I find Mother 3's possible debut FAR more exciting than any remake, which I believe has become all Nintendo thinks the GBA is for (Remakes, not the Mother series). Mario Advance is just the SNES titles remade with Mario going "WAAAAAAAA!" whenever you die. Wee. Note my unemotional cheerings. Whatever...

Mother 3 should be quite amusing. I mean, let's face it, Mother 2 wasn't half bad. Therre's been more developed plots, yes, but few RPGs can say much more than "I look pretty, but my game play is boring and monotonous, and I think you're a lot dumber than you really are!" (Please note that Golden Sun broke this horrid trend that's cursed us since the PS1. Thankyou, Golden Sun.)

My point is, Mother 1 + 2 is another stereotypical Nintendo project. It's Mother 3 that deserves all the hoopla! Anyone who owns Mother 2 and downloaded Mother 1 won't care about the first title (I never dl'ed M1, so I am somewhat excited, truthfully). But NOBODY's EVER seen M3, so that should cause quite a stir.

And, if it's a crummy game (like so many of Nintendo's Mario attempts are becomming), I'm going to sue the whole dang company! ALL BOW TO THE INSANE HAMSTER! HE WILL HAVE HIS WAY!!!

(Forgive my rantings. :) )

Now I have To Horde Some Money.

Oh, and i'd like to thank Nintendo someday, i'm really glad that they want me to be happy.

There honestly isn't much else anyone can say about it at this time. As more information and media becomes available, we'll be able to speculate and analyse further, but for now it's one big honkin' random-symbol partay.

%*#@*&^)%&($^!#$!!!!!!!

I guess I do.

I wrote in for the fan thought about how newer gamers would treat mother 3, and I basically said it wouldn't sell well and it would be a flop, just because of the graphics and it's competition.

This was assuming it was on the Gamecube.

So, the fact that it's going to be on the GBA changes eveything. People generally don't look for graphics on the GBA. I know many gamers who won't buy a game with cruddy graphics for the GC, PS2, etc. For the GBA, though, it dosn't matter. It's pretty obvious that handhelds don't have anywhere near the capabilities of the consoles, and people realize this. So graphics aren't as important on the GBA.

So now i think the game will sell well. It's got such a "cult" following, it can't fail. People will buy it or my first name isn't Jeff.

Now, for my opinion on the matter - Well, to put it simply, i couldn't sit still all today, just THINKING about it.

Here's the other thing. Just yesterday, I was telling my friend that this was coming out. He was like, "Oh, cool!"
Now, this was the same friend, that just a month ago, I showed him an EB rom, and he said, "Uh. The graphics are sort of dinky. It looks like the EB community could get major new hits for this. This site could become 100% more popular, which could be a bad thing, but we would get less people coming in looking for hair care products and people saying, "Whats Earthbound?" as soon as they post on the forums. Some people are so dumb. This could make EB not just a hair care product or something you scan by when your surfing the net. People are going to be knowledgeable! Smile! The end is here!

All I could ask is if 1) both games could see an English release and 2) Ness will return in Mother 3. I REALLY would like to see what the heck Pokey was up to and how it would effect Ness, his friends and family, and also any new heroes that may arise in the story. Power to the PK People!

Also, I REALLY loved the designs in 3D. They were so expressive in ways sprites couldn't depict, I wouldn't even care if they decided to cel-shade them! Scaling those wonderful character models and events down to small sprites makes the game less exciting to me. Character design aside, there's the game itself. In 3D, you're not just controlling the character but you feel like you're right beside him/her. Not only that but you'll never know when an enemy would catch you off guard behind an unsuspecting corner or enjoy controlling the Pork Bean and such. Think about things this way, had Miyamoto, Koizumi and Tezuka decided to cancel Ocarina of Time on the N64 back in 1997 (when the game was about 50-70% complete) and decided to move it on Gameboy/Gameboy Color/GBA because they were more used to Zelda in 2D would you say that was a smart move? I wouldn't.

I'll still get Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 on GBA but something feels missing...
