Wow, that's all I can say.

Hey, at least they made a new Nester comic. At least I think they did.  :-\

Like I've been saying for a while now, it's not that Nintendo isn't unaware of Earthbound fans, they simply dust them off, ignore, and occasionally taunt them for daring to disagree with their strategy to reach everyone but the core gamer.

Okay...now I hate Nintendo power. Before I just brushed them off but this is just SAD.
I mean, seriously. Nintendo is just asking for all their fans to leave them X_X;;

They don't care. There's more money to be made by courting 50 year-old women. They have more money, and there's more of them than there are of us.

Of course that's all Nintendo cares about. I just wanna know where Shiggy is on this...I think he's the only one who actually cares about the games anymore. The company has gone south since Iwata took over IMO...

What if they were joking about the Mother 3 thing, though? I realize that it isn't likely, but perhaps it is.....

They'd do it to piss of those guys who are modding the game, not for the fans. They're petty like that.

That's actually pretty funny to someone that knows what Nintendo is doing to them, but doesn't really know what the game's about.

If they didn't release it when it was on GBA, why would they do it now after pissing so many people off?
Let's just wait for E3 to pass, and then NP can give their "big announcement" even tho anyone with the internet will know about it by then

Who wants to bet that it is that Castlevania fighting game?

Of course, it could be somehow MOTHER related. Sword of Kings? Just kidding.

The people who are translating the game said they would stop immediately if Nintendo ever announced an official translation.

You know, the guys who are fan translating it ran the numbers on how much it would cost Nintendo to localize Mother 3.

It was somewhere in the range of $5500-6500, which is practically nothing when it comes to translation.

That sword is either a sword from that Castlevania fighting game, or it is the Sword of Kings. Who knows? They could announce something new about the MOTHER series.

After it is leaked online, presented at E3, and becomes common gaming knowledge online, of course.

If u have the money buy a PS3 instead. Better exclusives unless ur a Halo fanboy. Cuz everything good on 360 is also on PS3...
Yea trust me I don't trust a thing Nintendo says either...they've lied to me a few too many times.

It's a straight-forward translation, really.

Cheap, especially since they spent one milllion sending out those Wii Remote covers.

They also highlighted/bolded several words that could be seen as hints. In the Nester comic that they published, they bolded the word mother several times, as well as parodying people calling in asking for games.

I cannot wait for the Pulse in the September issue.  :D

When it comes to the EarthBound fans, they just like to have a quick laugh and pat them on the head saying, "You never know what the future may hold."

Maybe occasionally pitying them by publishing them and having a joke at their expense to publish something that could be easily perceived as a re-release. They weren't even trying this time.

There are three games in the series. Nintendo planned to release the first one here, but the NES's lifespan ran out.

So, they just took the sequel and tried to pass it off as the first game.

Perhaps they were considering him BEFORE he was in Brawl, not AFTER. See my point? ;)

Meh. If they're 2 series I could care less about, they are Earthbound(oh, sorry fanbo1Z, I mean "Mother") and Kid Icarus(just because Pit's in Brawl DOES NOT mean Nintendo will consider him for a future project)
Yes it does, actually.

Perhaps they were considering him BEFORE he was in Brawl, not AFTER. See my point? ;)
Yeah, but they definitely considered it more during/after the development of Brawl.
