Despite what looks to be a boom in fan translation projects for Japanese games on the Nintendo DS, I can’t help but feel not sanguine about them. It’s simply because the games are not the ones that I would play. Soma Bringer? Bleh.
But if there’s one fan translation project that I would really love to see succeed, that would be the one for the GBA game, Mother 3. I have the original copy of Mother 3 on my shelf but it’s really a pain to play with a translation guide in hand.
This is confounded by the fact that having played Earthbound and Mother via emulators on the DS, the urge to play Mother 3 is just so strong. But the good news is that the fan translation project is almost done and a patch will be released any time now.
Yay! Link.
