Like 90% of it is translated which is good. But the other 10% is gibberish. Not Japanese, but like just a jumbled assortment of text and symbols that's unreadable. Just so strange.

Yeah. It only came out in Japan, but fans translated it. I got a physical cart version of the translation.

That'd explain it.

I just watched some Mother 3 videos and I'm really feeling that I need to play it again. :)

That sounds like a lot of work to get a game we already had translated on SNES decades ago

I believe part of the point is that a Mother 2 fan translation can be more faithful to the source material than the SNES localization.

Speaking of which, is Pokey still a huge bitch in the fan translation at the start of the game (swelled head, using Ness as human shield, etc)

I was wondering if they flanderized him because there's a lot of weird Japanese fan art that tries to show him as more 'pure'

I seen a really good Youtube theory where he's someone who wants to be better but his relationship with his best friend (very one sided emotionally) Ness brings out the worst in him and he misplaces his anger and frustrations. Really humanizes him

I just go the traditional route. Never actually use my cartridge anymore but it's a game Id never sell. People like me are why it cost so much lol
