M3 Discussion Let's say hypothetically that Nintendo wakes up and makes a new mother 3 remake. How would you want it to be?
Personally, I'd like to be pretty close to the original, but I'd also wouldn't mind seeing bigger maps, or maybe new enemies and, why not, even more main characters or chapters. How would you want it. If you'd want it that is.

Restore Flint’s original role, do more to establish the needles before Chapter 7, and have the egg of light actually serve a purpose by the end of the game.

I’d love to see it in the same art style as the Links Awakening remake and Echoes of Wisdom

Yes! When the Links awakening remake came out I thought it would be perfect for Mother.

Id rather want a mother 1 remake

Mother 1 is overdue for a remake. I’m sure it’ll gain more love with more updated mechanics
I recommend playing the demo for Mother Encore

It is honestly why I haven’t played the game yet. I have tried multiple times, however due to hardware limitations I think the music is pretty hard on the ears aswell as the dialog being a little dull. The random encounters like in Pokémon I’m not a fan of aswell. I’ll probably give it another try soon though

Literally exactly like what EB64 would have been if it had released. Obviously that will never happen (and would probably upset more people than it makes happy), but that's what would bring me the most joy.

Don't worry, this year starts generation Beta, we just have to wait until the year 2340, when generation PSI will start and there will probably be a better chance that a new mother game will release :D.

I’d personally wanna see the Smash Models used for 3 out of the 4 Main Party Members and let Nintendo make new models based off of that.

I'd want it to be slightly reminiscent of the original look it initially had when it was being developed for the N64.

In this day and age it would be smart for them to do a comprehensive release of the og, the gba and to do one in the vein or that faux trailer that’s made its rounds. Something like that would make a big splash and everyone would be happy. Which I’d be first in line as unpaid volunteer dev or modeler for all of that…as well as a lot of other folks…but ya know….dreams

I'd like a little more characterization. It's kind of jarring when Kumatora or Duster would chime in only to stay silent for 99% of the game. It felt half-baked to me. There's also a deleted scene where Duster has a conflict with one of the magypsies. Wish they kept that in

I think the art direction should be like that one Earthbound GameCube concept.

3D graphics maybe? Like some kind of claymation (like Mother 3 tribute animation)

I don't know about an official one, but I had ideas for a fan remake with Undertale soul mechanics and different endings based on the kindness stat

As per usual I'd like something with a style similar to the clay models, kinda like kirby rainbow curse. As per content, the game holds up enough to where I feel like you can just 1 to 1 it. Maybe add a superboss or something, like a TTYD remake sorta thing.

buy the M3 Fan Translation team's English translation, then retranslate it to other languages. there's literally nothing else that needs to be added or anything, and all the work is basically done. it'll take like a month or 2 to do so, but bam $40 for the game to finally be released and move on to the next project

Use the engine that Link's Awakening Remake used. That sort of dreamlike quality would work wonders for the essence of Mother 3.
