Dr. Fedora helped translate some of the MOTHER 3 stuff very early on in the fan translation project. He recently posted some of his thoughts and translation notes, which you can check out here! Here’s a sample: Fassad’s English name has a surprisingly unexciting origin. The Japanese name Yokuba/ヨクバ is basically derived from the word for “ambition” or “greed” (“yokubari”/�...Read More »

Just before we released the MOTHER 3 translation patch back in 2008 – like the night before or something like that – a mysterious e-mail was sent to the address I list on my online resume but don’t use for anything else. I haven’t posted this anywhere before, but Reid’s talked about it on camera a few times (such as here). So here it is, for your reading glory. (more...Read More »

The MOTHER 3 fan translation’s been out a long time now, but every once in a while I think about how it could’ve been improved or handled better. One of those things is the decision to go with “Porky” instead of “Pokey”. At first I was worried it’d take a while for fans to get used to – was it that way for you? For reference, here’s what I put ...Read More »

After a lot of work, the MOTHER 2 vs. EarthBound comparison section is finally done. It only took me like twelve years, but it’s done, hurray! I still have to fix various typos and I’m sure I’ll need to make little tweaks here and there, but I don’t plan on there being any more updates. If you haven’t checked out the section recently, I’ve added new stuff to som...Read More »

CrouchingMouse sent this in the other day: I’ve been studying Japanese for a couple of years, and thought I’d try translating a few of the Mother 2 4-komas you put up on EBC a while back as practice. I’m still pretty new at this, so they may not be perfect. But if they’re acceptable, I’d love to share them with the community. You can check out the translated stuff her...Read More »

There’s been some interest in an Italian translation of MOTHER 3 lately, but so far no one’s really contacted me about it via e-mail. So if you’re a native Italian speaker and have some experience translating from English into Italian, contact me at tomato@starmen.net. But only after you read this first! Also note: this is a call for fan translators, not professionals seeking pai...Read More »

It’s been a long and winding road, but the Spain Spanish fan translation of MOTHER 3 has been released. You can check out the announcement and download the patch here if you’re interested. I don’t have any screenshots handy, sadly. Still, it’s really cool to see so many translations being released lately! The amount of work that went into this one was staggering for sure. ...Read More »

Shortly after we released the English-language MOTHER 3 fan translation, we gave a bunch of other small teams the stuff they needed to translate the game into their own languages. At last count, the number of translations (not including English) was at 9. That was like two and a half years ago though, so what’s happened with the projects since then? Here’s a quick look. Spain Spanish J...Read More »
