OMFG! F-U Nintendo of America!

[Jolly Joes]

PGC interviewed NoA translation group Treehouse. Amoung the questions were if they were planning on translating games such as Rhythm Heaven and the most requested, Mother 3 and bring it to U.S. audience.

...I was this close into destroying my monitor after hearing the answer about Mother 3.

Bihldorff: Yeah. Are there any other ones we've announced that I'm allowed to talk about? [Thinking] No. Some of my writers have been working on games that we've pretty much announced, but I think I'm going to keep my mouth shut on that one for now. [Laughs] Awesome stuff, though!

PGC: If I were to say... would games like, I don't know...Rhythm Heaven or Mother 3 be filed under that 'awesome stuff'?

Bihldorff: Man, Mother 3. I don't know what's going on with that game. That's already out in Japan, right? Was it awesome, did you play through it?

PGC: No. I'd like to, but it's all in Japanese. That's where you guys come in!

Bihldorff: No, me personally, I'm not working on Mother 3. I don't have all the writers under me, so there may be other people in discussions going on with it, but I wouldn't look forward to it in the immediate future, no. Sorry, I know! There's a big Mother fanbase, there is. At least everyone can go back and play Melee to get your Ness on. [Laughs]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA--SCREW YOU NINTENDO!

Twat. "I don't want to do this so I won't but HEY, play Ness in the game I did translation on yeah? go on?"

Never played Mother myself, but ouch. Yeah. That does seem quite a kick in the balls.

Oh for the love of...

OUTRAGE.
SHOCK AND OUTRAGE.

Though I like what he said in the Twilight Princess bit. "ONCE YOU GO WII YOU NEVER GO BACK"

[王泥喜]

Tell them to get off their lazy butts and get F-Zero Climax done, as well.

[Jolly Joes]

You know they won't bother with F-Zero Climax if they won't even bother with Mother 3. And the thing that kills me is that they won't let any other company such as Atlus release it here. WTF NINTENDO!?!

[Admin]

To his defense, he said he wasn't working on it PERSONALLY. So for all he knows, other people in there are still discussing it.

[A Notebook]

...I thought everyone already knew that it was never coming to the States.

[Ultra Magnus]

i knew

There were rumors circulating that it along with Mother 1+2 would be released in a complitation for the DS.

[Joshi]

I knew it'd never come over, but I still harboured that false hope that it somehow might ;_;

[hedgesmfg]

But my question is...


...why not? He acknowledges the sizable fanbase right there!

[Jolly Joes]

Because Nintendo of America hates us.

[Mystical Thief 001]

Or they hate Mother, anyway.

[Kulock]

You assume they have a choice over what titles they do or don't localize. The Treehouse still gets directives from NoA management, who gets directives from NCL management.

And if there is a Mother 1-3 DS compilation like the rumor says, NCL would probably be handling the development before any localization took place.

[Jolly Joes]

So what the hell will it take for NoA to convince NCL that Mother 3 and a compliation card of Mother 1+2 is a success waiting to happen in this country? I mean they already know that it has a chance to do well seeing how big(and insane) the fanbase is for the series. I mean it may not be Zelda, Pokemon, or Mario big, but I could see something like that moving at least 600,000 units in North America.

I hope you guys aint gonna hate me now,but im really not interested in the wii it looks so uninteresting.
I mean the games could be cool though but the controls/controllers just seem wack.

...and what does this have to do with ANYTHING mentioned in this topic?

Hopefully the Duke Nukem Forever of translation patches is out soon

OH GOD THE TABLES

I think that this game selling 600,000 in the U.S. is hopeful dreaming. I'm guessing 100k at best or somewhere. I suppose there isn't any real reason not to release here though.

There's always that translation project that's going on at mother3.org.
