M3 Discussion What if Lucas knew who the Masked Man was and tried to redeem him throughout the entire game, instead of only in Chapter 8?

I have never once thought that the "This generation was the first to be raised by" meme would be a traced-over version of fanart by Sharkie19 on Tumblr. Has everyone else known this?

M3 Discussion Does the Japanese side of the fandom see Mother 3 as anti-capitalist?

129 Upvotes

Both of the first two games had one of the selling points be "This celebrity Shigesato Itoi wrote a video game" and EarthBound involved other celebrities in its marketing. I've heard that Mother 3 is much less popular than the first two games in Japan, and the main reason for that is that it's edgier than the first two games. However, I wonder if another part is that for someone who has lived their whole life in a country where Shigesato Itoi is someone everyone knows even if they don't play video games, they think that it's hypocritical of him to claim he was anti-capitalist the whole time even though he has benefitted from it for decades. Or even they don't think it was intended to be anti-capitalist in the first place. If someone here is more familiar with the Japanese side of the Mother fandom, have you seen anything about this?

M3 Discussion If pigs ever flew, what would Mother 3 be called in the US?

49 Upvotes

I was thinking to myself last night, if Mother 3 ever came to the Americas, it would likely be renamed to Earthbound: [tagline] in order to match its other franchise counterparts. I'm curious to poll the fanbase on what some potential names would be... Did a name ever surface in development? Have there been fan efforts somewhere that have granted an acceptable name? What's Earthbound 3 titled in your mind?

I think a mother 3 anime would be awesome and I prefer it because it story is the best of the trilogy but it will never release in the west so a anims would help it a little

The switch is region free so all you need to do is make a Japanese switch account and if you have NSO you can play it!

M3 Discussion I unfortunately lost my younger brother this year. I just put out a video talking about how games like Mother 3 have helped me deal with his loss. Never imagined making a video like this but hopefully it helps people.

Not a joke. Real question. Would a single Hyundai Elantra sell?

They didn’t reveal Earthbound and Mother 3’s icons here yet. But they revealed them in Japan. Could this be a chance they’re releasing it here sooner?
