- Atoramos, on 10/17/2008, -0/+41I honestly believed this day would never come.
- ThwompBlock, on 10/17/2008, -0/+38Over a year of incredible work and labor finally comes to fruition...
- honeymustardn, on 10/17/2008, -1/+28***** yes you are the best game ever
- mktwo, on 10/17/2008, -0/+27I've been waiting for this! Thank you ♥
- rayefrenzy, on 10/17/2008, -0/+26WHY AM I AT WORK WHEN I COULD BE PLAYING THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!
- airwalkery2k, on 10/17/2008, -1/+26Nintendo of America had the ball for well over 2 years. And yet they refused to play it.
I'm happy some fans finally got it out there. Hopefully NoA will wake up. - cbrunet, on 10/17/2008, -0/+22I met Reggie Fils-Aime a few years back, and my only words for him was that I wanted him to take my money. He looked at me confused, and I explained that I wanted Nintendo to just take my money, and all I ask for in return is a localized version of Mother 3. He laughed and said "That's what I keep hearing", but I guess what he really meant was "I don't care". So screw you Nintendo, and thank you translators!
- enderanjin, on 10/17/2008, -0/+21*****. YES.
- vidkid7, on 10/17/2008, -2/+23Thirteen years of waiting...
- hardcorerikki, on 10/17/2008, -0/+20Cool. Thumbs up.
- Maurina, on 10/17/2008, -0/+19God! Finally! This is amazing, I loved Earthbound, and I bet this game will be just as good!
- Satsumomo, on 10/17/2008, -0/+19I followed Mother 3 from when it was just announced, and once it was released, I continued to follow it, since there were strong rumors of it being released in America as well.
I waited. I waited too much. Then I found Starmen.net about 3 years ago. Been following this project VERY closely. Now I'm at school waiting for my class to start, that won't be in another 2 hours, and then it's a 3 hour class, then about 40 minutes until I get home. ARGH!
Nintendo, don't you dare TOUCH these guys with anything negative, or you will feel the wrath of the people you have let down for so long now. - lastoftheeld, on 10/17/2008, -0/+18I wish everyone could be as happy as I am right now.
- thac0nfus3done, on 10/17/2008, -0/+16Thanks to everyone who worked on the patch!
- AniMeowzerz, on 10/17/2008, -0/+15After a couple months of blog-lurking, I can finally write this day down in my calendar. Gaming history :D
- Sunsneezer, on 10/17/2008, -0/+13What they did is nothing short of HEROIC. They reversed-engineered some pretty nasty and twisted code to translated a game that's as close to literature as it gets, all that from a language so far removed from English, it tires me just thinking about it.
- G3rm, on 10/17/2008, -0/+13I am incredibly thankful for this.
- ElbowLettuce, on 10/17/2008, -0/+13No crying until the end.
Guaranteed Masterpiece. - zeekayy, on 10/17/2008, -0/+11Now I gotta replay Mother 2!

I do not take responsability for you guys clicking this link. As said on the site, at least buy some Mother 3 merchandise if you can't find the original game ;) - tenritsu, on 10/17/2008, -0/+9Tomato does what Nintendon't.
- WeeklyGeek, on 10/17/2008, -0/+9yay yay yay yay yay
- jaychuck, on 10/17/2008, -0/+8As Danzig once said, "Mother!"

- Derbmeister, on 10/17/2008, -2/+9Epiphany of win.
- RupeeClock, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7First chapter complete, and the game is proven to be charming so far, and fun to play too.
You guys, words fail to find me. - poptartrevival, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7I just creamed my pants. Praise Mato, he is a golden god.
- matt81, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7Who needs NoA? Thanks to everyone who worked on the translation patch! You all rock.
- Ledjar, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7thank god its finally out, i'm buying a flash card for my DS TO-*****-DAY for this!
- rhinez0r, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7Kudos to the team at starmen.net. Support their efforts and preorder their handbook: http://handbook.fangamer.com/
- OddMoniker, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7I'm shaking...I've waited for this for 13 years. ***** you NOA. I love you Mato, Reid and the rest of the team!
- ghostfaceDX, on 10/17/2008, -0/+7HELLZ YEAH BUDDY! Tell your friends!
- HughesAP, on 10/18/2008, -0/+6I have never donated money to any site but you guys are getting some from me
- RobotBuddha, on 10/18/2008, -0/+6Wow, they even released a patching tool for osx and linux!
- TheShafter69, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5Incredible.
What an amazing game.
THANK YOU FOR THE TRANSLATION - spashos, on 10/18/2008, -0/+5This is the reason I finally joined digg.
Seriously, I want to see this dugg more than those thousands of submissions revolving around Obama/McCain/Palin. - Peter89, on 10/18/2008, -0/+5Honestly, I'm freaking speechless. I teared up a little just seeing the menu in English and naming my characters.
- AcidBurnz, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5And Jeffman. He's my roommate in college this year, and has also put in many sleepless nights into the project. hats off to the whole team nonetheless.
- inactive, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5The music in the game is awesome
- KirbyMeister, on 10/18/2008, -0/+5718, no FP. wtf it's only been up for two days, why isn't this front-paging yet?
- Ryuho209, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5Joined the EB fan community a bit late, but this is still amazing.
A Translator that actually got their work out on time!
Amazing job, Tomato, I hope you know how many fans are squealing right now. - farfromsubtl, on 10/18/2008, -0/+5Digg fails. This is huge news.
Later on, Kotaku will cover it and they will get front paged. - mkkmypet, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5i've been checking the blog almost every day since the start. so much hard work was put into this, and now its FINALLY here!! :D after 13 years, the EarthBound sequel is finally here. i played it in Japanese with a translation guide, but obviously that's nothing compared to playing it in my native language.
- Carobu, on 10/17/2008, -0/+5Best day, EVER!
- Jpun19, on 10/18/2008, -0/+4I grew up with this game- and with the teaser APE building in Fourside, along with the tantalizing ending, I have been holding my breath for thirteen years- and now it is finally here- thank-you, everyone who worked on this project (I wish I could have helped, but I do not know Japanese and do not have programming skills.) And shame on nintendo for neglecting the fans of this series- allowing our cries to be absorbed by the darkness- you made a big mistake not localizing it to the U.S.!
