M3 deserves a standing ovation for, as you put it, having the "guts to break your heart". It made me sob and laugh and changed my life. It's always so heartwarming to hear about people's experiences with this amazing game!
I also didn't know that Tomato had released a new version of the translation patch! Can't wait to play it, guess I have new holidays plans now, hahahahaha
Love the new camera tricks in the live action portions
Shigesato Itoi is a genius. no one can change my mind.
Those are some sweet animations! I couldn't help but crack a huge grin when I saw that new game case toss & catch!
Good news on the audio quality front: I released a hack for the game recently that cleans up a ton of the background hiss and noise!
Mother 3 is a really great game, but honestly the last bits of story really just made the game click. Totally wasn't expecting the turns that it took, but it was well worth the time playing. As always - good stuff!
I can't wait to finish Earthbound so I can play this game (M3 is the only one I have no knowledge about)
@@KloWnV please play it. It’s the best one.
I am still in the process of playing Mother 3 right now. Your previous videos about the other Mother games has made me finally decide to just play instead of waiting any longer for an official release. I will watch this video once I am done with the game, but after seeing your other videos, I am sure it is great as well!
Favorite game, dude! Brought me to tears every time I played it
Thanks Super Derek for take time and effort to create this great review.
This channel is criminally underrated
Sadly, so are most of the best JRPGs.
@@minusp895 true that
All of the Mother/Earthbound coverage you've been working on over the summer has been a joy, Derek!
While I don't know if it could ever top Earthbound due to good ol' nostalgia bias, you have convinced me that I do need to experience Mother 3 for myself.
Always excited to see a new video!
There is a frog in a car.... all I have to say about this game :P
As always great video and it was great to wake up to it.
Did I just witness NewSuperDerek? I’m digging the new opening, great review. Fantastic game for anyone a fan of the series
Huh, I had no idea this game had that "rhythm" combat feature. Kinda makes me wish that more of the modern "retro-styled" RPGs would experiment with stuff like this.
I love this game! One of the most profound story ever written for a video game! A pure masterpiece!
0:38 dayyyyum son
Jelly of all you down in the lower 48, I got snow in my yard already. Feels bad man.
My boy back with the 🔥🔥
This game made me cry like a baby lol
Also, I played on a gba cart I bought on eBay. Someone put the English hack onto a transparent red cart. Loved playing it on gba after all these years
A truly great game in its own right. Something very special imo. Thanks for giving it the review it deserves Derek
those special effects were rad
Can I just say I LOVE all the recent Mother videos....this has been my favorite game series for most of my life and it's always nice to see it get recognition outside of the typical cult following it has
Thanks! I'm certainly part of that cult following, considering EarthBound is what started me down the path I'm on, but after 100 games I really wanted to give the game the proper treatment it deserves as a sort of 100-reviews extravaganza! Feels awesome to have finally done the series properly, and revisit the nostalgic craziness of anticipating a sequel for over a decade! xD
Well... Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne was my first Pokemon game.
Anyway, love the zoom in when you tossed the game. Great stuff!
Your Eastbound thoughts would be appreciated.
Holy crap the anime in this knocked me into the Shadow Realm. Nice effects!
Great video without any spoilers and great quality video; I like the original GBA border use.
Game collection!!! WOOT WOOOT!
03:34 technically this is Earthbound 2 because Mother 1 is Earthbound 0 or beginning (so the prologue/episode 0) Mother 2 is Earthbound (1) (because it's the chapter/episode 1) so it's technically Earthbound 2 even know it is NOT directly linked to Earthbound 1
I was using the phrase "EarthBound 2" colloquially, the way some people say "Chrono Cross is not Chrono Trigger 2" despite both games having plots with ties to their predecessors. Just a faster way to give viewers the right expectations even if it's not "literally" correct. Language can be kinda fluid like that. :)
cool camera effect there derek when you tossed the game and grabbed it
EXCUSE ME!? THAT INTRO WAS AWESOME!
I recently bought an original Japanese copy to play on the Retron 5 with the translation patch. I might’ve bought a prepatched cart, but I couldn’t be 100% sure it would work on the Retron 5. Besides, it’s cool having a legit copy, even if it costs a bit. Anyway, the sound quality on the Retron 5 is really good at least, and the story is my favorite of the series. I actually cried at the ending, and that just doesn’t happen to me with games.
The mother series, as a whole, is full of three masterpieces each in their own rights.
Good vid thanks
The amount of times this game made me cry.. damn… … …Time to play it again-
Dude I'm really impressed you can hold up that copy of mother 3 with one finger in the thumbnail
Dat intro!
Are you going to play eastward? It has that eight bit RPG built into it that is based on earth balance. Have you heard about it? I’m really interested for you to check it out as well.
audio sounds fine to me
I love this series
🐸 Mother 3 is a true gem. I wonder if you'll make a vid on HeroLand

If there's one thing we know about Nintendo it's that they love leaving money on the table. They will pay a company to make Bayonetta 2. They will pay to publish any SE rpg they can in the west. "Mother 3? What even is that?" Nintendo
Copyright issue bro,too many license songs and questionable parts in the game. I understand why they're hesitating
@@doburu4835 I don't remember any copyright songs. That makes no sense. Japan has stricter copyright than U.S.
@@drowningin that's the weird thing about cr laws in japan. They can literally name their characters as band groups without precaution(Jojo). Most of the songs from both earthbound and mother 3 are heavily sampled. And some certain parts of the game are hard to officially localized without cutting chunks of those problamatic(?) Scenes unlike fantranslation wildwest rules.
I'm just pointing out the logistics problem.
@@doburu4835 which songs are you talking about? Also there are no problematic scenes. The people who say that are apologetic to no one who is mad. It's a silly stance to take in life to see art as problematic. That's a sure fire way to end up with the problems the west & previously communist & fascist regimes face. They are problematic because it goes against party narratives. You should never have to call or think of art as a problem. No one ever said they were offended, yet that word keeps being used
@@drowningin i don't see those as bad too in particular but the mainstream view is in collide with our views unfortunately. In reagrds with the sampled songs The bat theme in particular has some batman theme motifs in them and in some others.
I have started Earthbound probably 10x over the last 10years and never finish it. It’s really tuff to play. Random fights happen a lot making the game drag on, if you don’t die. And unless you have a walkthrough, have no idea what to do next. I want to love it so badly. What am I doing wrong?
one of the best games ever made and my latest entry in my top 10 of all time :)
the title is why i don't want mother 3 to be called earthbound 2 if it gets localized
Hey Derek. Do you think you'll play Eastward? I heard there's even an in game mini rpg that you play at an arcade strewn Across the game world that's a blatant homage to Earthbound called Earth Born. I really would advise against letting this one slip underneath the radar. Eastward is special.
Thanks for the heads up! I've heard others talk about it, it's officially on my radar now. :)
Mother 3 is the game that savagely kicks you in the balls, and then says "Hey buddy, you ok... Come on, it wasn't even a hard kick.... I know, lets go get some ice cream, my treat!"
Here is an Idea, you could do another "mother of summer" next year but review games with a Mother influence like "Lisa the Painful", "Omori", "moon remix RPG", "OFF by Morrtis Ghost", "Anodyne 1+2", and "Jimmy and the pulsating mass". It's just an idea so do what ever.
I was actually thinking about something like this. There are plenty of games out there inspired by Mother, I think we may have material for quite a while. :)
Mother 3 was the magnum opus of videogames. Sorry, folks, there's no going up from here.
MOTHER 3 Is The Best.
If you want the rhythm/combat minigame to work well you need to play on original hardware, or virtual console inject on Wii U or 3ds! Your can play the entire game without it, but it is best if you can enjoy that component as well. If you can find a way to play on a hacked Wii U the game looks beautiful upscaled on a full-sized, widescreen TV. Also, I took someone else's advice and renamed the characters after close friends and family. I recommend it! One of my favorite RPGS.
For my recent playthrough I used a repro cartridge on my GameCube's GameBoy Player and GBI homebrew. Doesn't get a whole lot more original hardware than that. I just couldn't get the hang of the beats, I think.
Yeah, it's still pretty tough to get them right! Sorry, that wasn't in reference to you. I think I remembered from another video that you use GB Player on on GameCube. Wish I still had mine!!
To anyone else reading this, GBA emulation still isn't perfect, and any lag/framerate issues throw off the rhythm mini-game. I played through the entire game without it for my first playthrough, getting in a few double and triple hits here and there. I still loved the game without it, but it is definitely satisfying to get those full 16hit combos in if you can find a way to get the game running at a stable speed.
I am more interested in Mother 4, if it will ever be made
Doubtful. Itoi stated he's out of ideas. He also said that Mother will live on in the players. Some have taken that literally and have started making Mother-inspired games. Check out Oddity, and Oddventure.
Ugh, I need it on the SWITCH! 😩
30th comment! Uploaded 5 hours ago! I'm real early today! I believe that Mother 3 would be called Earthbound 2!
You actually look like Lucas yourself.
I think if mother 3 had been released properly by Nintendo I don’t think there would had been that big of a backlash. Not even from the trans community in just my state yet alone the whole world. It’s as non sensical situation that would be the equivalent of if some one did a rant video today about hot coffe our being adopted. If your die hard fans of those two franchises our been around on UA-cam long enough you know what I’m talking about.
censoring Mara hurt my soul but I guess that's to be expected
lol, censoring Mara was honestly _mostly_ done as a gag. I think the way I censored it makes it look even slightly *more* offensive than if I had left it as-is. I even added an extra "wiggle" effect to make the censor graphics shimmer for added effect! :-P
@@SuperDerek You made Mara even more powerful and censored it at the same time. UA-cam won't recover from this
4:26 whos that Pokemon?
lol, Mara from Shin Megami Tensei. I don't recommend Googleing that one though.
@@SuperDerek is it blured in the game that any kid could buy?
@@alfasilverblade lol, nope, but the games are rated M so parents probably ought not buy it for their kids regardless. :-P
Mara is so much cooler than Charmander.
Why don't Nintendo just use this translation as their own and make all the moneys? Put a disclaimer for the bits that might offend people. Folk will understand.
I honestly didn't even like Earthbound when I tried it back in the day.
If Mother 3 is so good then where's Mother 4 lol
;-;
lmao! My good friend, have you looked up Oddity yet? Once upon a time it was called the Mother 4 Fan Project, but rebranded and looks like it will be phenomenal.
I'm the only one who hates it. The storyline, the bosses, the combat; all of it is stupid and uncharmingly childish.
