“With my new strength, I have made a promise to her to protect you, my brother. My King. Til my day finally comes, I will take your hand and dance with you on our new journey. Once someone new comes along who can take my place and you’re ready to let me go, I can finally be at peace. With her. And you…with Him.” - Claus
HAPPY 18TH ANNIVERSARY TO MOTHER 3!!!💛✨🌻🧡🌻✨💛
Im a bit late to the party, but I’d rather be late than not draw something for such an amazing game.
(If you don’t know what I mean by “him” in the quote, I’m talking about Ness hehe)
Thinking pre-timeskip tazmily was some quaint utopia tainted by Porky/capitalism flattens the story quite a bit. In my opinion, the point was since the Tazmilians chose to forget history instead of learn from it, they were susceptible to the same downfalls as before, Porky just accelerated it.
Tazmily likely would have lasted much longer without his involvement, but their ignorance made them easy to persuade into speedrunning inhumane industrialization and consumerism, so they may have made the same mistakes more gradually without his interference.
I've said this before, but Nintendo are definitely not going to release Mother 3 in the west. The logistics alone of fully localizing an old game, using development techniques that aren't used anymore are impractical. Not to mention all the brand unfriendly things that Mother 3 has, including gender hijinks, explicit drug use, and suicide.
Mother 3's English fan translation is easily accessible on PC and even on hacked 3DS. Plus the fact that Nintendo won't release it adds a mystique to it, right? It's this secret thing you have to hear about through Smash or word of mouth and seek out for yourself. Everyone who wants to play it has already played it or can play it right now, and people who are waiting for an official release to play it are going to be waiting forever. If you haven't played it yet and want to, take this post, plus the upcoming Japanese re-release as your reason to, because if you're not willing to pirate Mother 3, you're not ready to hear what Mother 3 has to say.
