The New Freedom

HELL YEAH. I know this site isn’t about video games but I don’t care, I’m so excited about this amazing hack I’m writing about it here anyway.

The Mother3 Fan Translation is now available.

Mother3 is the sequel to the Super Nintendo game EarthBound, which is my favorite game of all time. Mother3 came out for the GBA, but only in Japan, so some dedicated fans have been working really tirelessly on hacking the ROM to make it playable for us English speaking folks. This is a really tough hack, way more complicated than just changing out a script as you might think. I’ve been following the development progress on the dev blog quite religiously for some time now and it really shows the magnitude of the work that went in to creating this.

Thanks and congratulations, Tomato and Jeffman!

I don’t think I’m going to sleep until I play through this game now. See you in a few days.
Rich
