I honestly think the hype is caused mainly cause it was never released outside of Japan and it's just riding Earthbound coattails so to speak.

Well, the hype could go one of two ways: Because it's good (seriously, it's one of, if not THE best game I've ever played, in my opinion. I still like Earthbound a bit more.), or it's because of what @Tasuki said. I think it might be a bit more of that. Anyways, enjoy your new game, and prepare to be sad. Prepare to be very, very sad.

I have nothing to contribute here except to say that when it comes to the Mother series, y'all best listen to everything @ogo79 says.

Because he knows.

its also one of the best sounding games youll ever play.
if you have ocd it will test it severely in order to obtain all the enemy battle memory. theres a few enemies that you can only get at certain times. some are only located in certain chapters and some are only found in one spot in the game after multiple tries.

@SuperWiiU: Even before this announcement I thought this was likely, considering Mother 1 and 2's US release and Lucas being in Smash Bros. This just amplifies the possibility of Mother 3 getting a US release.

Something is bound to happen... If it does get released outside of Japan, then there will be balance to the force.

Also, I can't wait for the Lucas amiibo. Just hoping it's not another exclusive, but most likely it is.

@PKpunky: Considering Nintendo's want to release Pokemon Gen 1 on its 20th anniversary,Mother 3 might be released on its 10th: April 20, 2016.

I would imagine that a Western Mother 3 release will be just around the corner. In a short space of time, we have seen what has previously been thought to be unthinkable. Not only has Earthbound been rereleased worldwide, but so has the first Mother game. I would expect Mother 3 to be released sometime next year, if not alongside the release of the Lucas amiibo.

If it does get released around the same time as the Lucas amiibo, then that would be a great surprise to start the year.

Though, with the anniversary coming up, it could also be during that time. Who knows the status of the whole translation, just assuming that it will eventually be released. There's that to consider too.

@ElectricMastro

Exactly my thoughts.

The difference is that Nintendo had been sitting on a translation of Mother 1 since 1991, whereas Mother 3 did not have an official translation lying around. It would be amazing if they did it, but probably the only way they'd get it out quickly or even easily is to release the fan translation (though he works as a professional anime translator, he spent a huge amount of his personal time working on the game and said he'd be willing to just give Nintendo his work, and be willing to work with them on the game and legal issues effectively for free because he's such a huge Mother fan).

I really think Mother 3 will get localized. It's just a matter of when and in what format. I almost find it tough to believe they'd go through all the trouble to translate it and localize it (there would have to be some censorship just like there was for EarthBound) just to release it as a $10 Virtual Console game, when they could sell it for a $40-60 retail game on 3DS or Wii U (or NX). At best we might even get a Mother/EarthBound Trilogy with all 3 games in one disc or cartridge (unlikely though).

But yeah Mother 3 is a fantastic game and is the only game I played entirely in Japanese because it's just that good. I've been a huge Mother/EarthBound fan, ever since I played EB in 1996 and it was torture to see the development of EarthBound 64 for N64 only to get cancelled and then for a good 6 years we waited until Mother 3 reappeared on GBA which actually looked even better than EB64, only for it never to be localized. So it's been a very uphill battle for us EarthBound/Mother fans over the years and the fact that both Mother/EarthBound Beginnings, and EarthBound were re-released outside of Japan in any form is a good sign that a localized Mother 3 is in our future in some form.

Because:
a) It's a fantastic game, quite possibly the best on GBA
b) It's the sequel to another fantastic game with a huge cult collowing
c) It was never released outside of Japan
d) Hype
