There is perhaps no group of gamers more mistreated than American Mother fans.
While Japanese gamers have gotten all three games in the surreal RPG series, all weāve gotten is Earthbound, a Super Nintendo localization of Mother 2. Americans didnāt get Mother on NES, Mother 3 on Game Boy Advance, or any of the subsequent ports and re-releasesāand Nintendo wonāt say why.
Rubbing salt on our Mr. Saturn-sized wounds, last week Nintendo announced a release of Mother 2 for the Wii Uās Virtual Consoleā¦ in Japan. Nowhere else. (I asked a Nintendo rep if it will ever come here. The response: āWe have nothing to announce about this game at this time.ā)
I love it. Occupy Miiverse!
