Date: June 9th, 2026 2:18 PM Author: Wilbur Mercer, permanently embarrassed millionaire (Safari) Earthbound snes is amazing and still my favorite game of all time. It is faggy and story driven but also funny as fuck and the combat is novel, grinding only required at one point.
Mother NES is unplayable without mods due to the random encounter rate. Couldn't get into it
Mother 3 (gba fan translation) is a disappointment compared to earthbound. Story is disjointed, characters weird. And its extremely fucking dark and depressing unlike earthbound. Your mom/wife is killed in the first 10 minutes and you spend the whole game (spoilers) searching for your baby brother just to learn he was killed on the same day but his body was mechanized and he has been controlling the enemy forces throughout the game as a soulless cyborg |

Date: June 9th, 2026 2:22 PM Author: Wilbur Mercer, permanently embarrassed millionaire (Safari) There is a reason it did not get a US release -- it's not a compelling game and not a good followup to earthbound (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872463&forum_id=2)#49925543) |

Date: June 9th, 2026 2:26 PM Author: cowgod Since when does being a compelling game matter? Nintendo has released like 7 shitty paper Mario games. It came out for GBA after DS was out and has magical transgender gypsies and SKEWERS westerners. If it releases itd sell like 180,000k. Or less. Even if it sucks like you say it’s just not made for westerners at all. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872463&forum_id=2)#49925559) |

Date: June 9th, 2026 2:19 PM Author: cowgod They kind of have mediocre Gameplay but I appreciate the skewering of westerners.
I don’t think JRPGs actually suit modern attention spans at all. It’s better if you have absolutely nothing to do like in the 90s. If you can handle dragon quest and shit, sure give it a try.
Play Earthbound. If you can handle more, do Mother 3. Don’t play the NES game.
Mother 3 is the most intellectual title of all time and it SKEWERS westerners. At one point it depicts old people living in squalor bc of western values. |

Date: June 9th, 2026 3:03 PM Author: Mailer Daemon mother 3 also has a section where the world is saved by a bunch of magical trannies with pink hair and beards, what could possibly be a more positive depiction of "western values" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5872463&forum_id=2)#49925638) |
