MOTHER 3: Tribute

mother3tribute.com
We're celebrating our channel's 7th anniversary with a tribute to Mother 3, the Japan-only sequel to the cult classic Earthbound. (Fans of this series might want to record their reaction to this one. 👀)
This video represents over 2 years of work on a scale many times larger than anything we've attempted in the past. It is quite possibly the largest fan production we will ever produce.

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

@@lazyslackerboy The nation you vote in moves forward by punishing companies that publish racial stereotypes like in this game, and nintendo moves forward by LISTENING to those punishments and not making the same mistake. That is straight forward into the direction of YOUR culture. Nobody's taking away the fact that, even when stealing property is illegal, you can pirate this intellectual property and get the experience while contributing nothing to the economy. Why would Nintendo try to force this experience down the throats of the last remaining people who DON'T want to and haven't already? THE SAME PEOPLE whose culture you share and contribute to every day, by getting offended over things like the jippo word that the magic users refer to. Or blackface, or whatever it is.

[@koopliss]

@@shadesoftime Funny thing is, Nintendo only strikes down fangames that break a specific set of rules according to the hosters of the largest mario fangames website. Outside of that, nearly all projects related to the mother series is safe from being taken down on account of those games still technically being owned by the series creator, and said creator has came out in support of the fanbase making more games if they are up for it.

If someone sent this to me without telling me it was a fan project, I'd totally have believed it was an official announcement.

The thing is that the official thing would probably only look half as good as this, serious props to the team who made this!

[@TheMysticalFox]

The difference is a passion and love for what they're creating, and a determination to make it something special. So it's not just a job. That's why projects like SSBU and BOTW turn out amazing, but entries for Pokemon are a more standard kind of good. So it's not impossible, but it'd need the right people behind it! Either way, this video is gorgeous and fantastically created. Would love to see their work in the industry proper.

[@autocorrect5456]

@@TheMysticalFox uhh... not quite. smash ultimate is yet another rehashed brawl with severely streamlined mechanics that make it feel less like the games before it, it was more of a quantity over quality thing. that's why there's no engaging story mode or really any care put into the actual gameplay aspects. just cram as many dlc characters in as possible as if it's mugen. while i never played botw, i've seen many video essays and such about it. it seems to be lacking a lot in story, along with dungeons being very repetitious since the scope of the game was far too large. it's not really "bad" for something experimental by nintendo, just incohesive. pokemon is just a confusing mess now. i'll never understand why they never went back to the gamecube games' style of gameplay... probably because they take too much effort to make. so what happens when you don't know what to do? either "remake" the old games or make a barren open world game. that'll solve all the problems. i doubt any of the modern games for these series will be looked at fondly in the future. the reality is that when consumers accept mediocrity, just saying "it's kind of good" and never raising their standards above that, is when the quality of games drop since there isn't a need to care anymore. a good somewhat recent example was that nocturne remaster. they got away with rereleasing almost the exact same game from 20 years ago that you could've otherwise emulated for the price of almost the same as a triple a title. and people will go through hoops to defend their horrible decision to buy such a worthless remaster because they desperately don't want to look stupid. when i see something like this... just leave it to the fans. none of the original developers for these games are even around anymore. the only ones who truly understand are their fans. fans like these people. so much passion, sweat, and blood for a game that means absolutely nothing to nintendo because as we know, it's never been localized. of course, this isn't a real game, but if it were i'd keep it away from nintendo. they'd just bastardize it. but knowing nintendo... the cease and desist has priority over an acceptance of competition, and the ability to prove that they have the same love for these games as their fans do.

[@flagonking1337]

@@autocorrect5456 I gotta agree. The reason most buy these games is how they're presented: as awesome titles, and while initially they may be, in the end they're just another in a long line of successes.

Never played the Mother series but this gives me the chills. Superb art direction and a really professional outcome. Would buy it in a heartbeat. So nostalgic even for someone who hasn't played the games. Congrats to everyone involved.

[@CaptainFADC]

Stop what youre doing and buy the carts or download Earthbound on SNES for Switch. Mother 3 is incredible if you can *somehow play a translated version. Still not the same thing as Ninendo bringing it stateside!

[@FlinnyWinny]

The fan translation is great and runs really well on the emulators.

[@cristobalpinochet]

You need to play mother 3 now, it’s a masterpiece

[@packlesswolf1]

@@cristobalpinochet wait isnt earthbound just Mother 2? Shouldn't we start with that one?

[@cristobalpinochet]

@@packlesswolf1 if you want you should start with mother 1 but you can also start with mother 3, it has no connection with 1 or 2, well, it has one but I won’t spoil, it’s not gamebreaking

[@MortMort]

How was I not involved in such an amazing project! Looks amazing this is literally the best tribute to my favorite game!

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@zamsire]

this is AMAZINGLY DONE! props to everyone who worked on this you all are incredibly talented

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@thatoneguy5511]

Ever since Nintendo released the remake of Link's Awakening with that toyish style, I wanted a Mother remake in that style as well, but with their original clay style... And here it is... is so beautiful that I'm actually crying for it

[@explainedlake6451]

Okay... so who else has watched this like 20+ times already? lmao this is insane. It truly has one of the coolest music tracks of any game I've ever heard of... truly remarkable! I would purchase the music album. The entire project is phenomenal.

[@LilyBlue53]

This is 100% gonna take off and get noticed with how high quality it is, here’s hoping Nintendo takes some notes! Masterfully done you guys!

[@huhjustafox]

The heartbreak I feel, knowing that something like this can't really exist and won't ever come to true fruition. Thanks for a glimpse into a better reality.

[@MamutaPWIP]

Someone get this job and propose the idea to Nintendo.

[@aaronbrown554]

honestly, ive seen more obscure shit get brought back. hell they just remastered Chrono Cross, wouldn't be surprised if this happened eventually too.

[@Shy3k]

@@aaronbrown554 It unfortunately is pretty impossible. There are some themes in Mother 3 that would be very controversial in western markets, like the Magypsies or how Salsa is treated. There is also the obvious loss of life being an important theme. Nintendo never uses mature themes like these in their cartoony games, it's usually only for the games intended for older audiences. Games like Earthbound and Kirby are so abstract that their mature themes are only really alluded to, and can go unnoticed by a younger player. Also, the original game was very poorly optimized text wise. IIRC it took the creators of the fan translation months to figure out how to use non Japanese characters, because the game was coded only with Japanese text in mind. Nintendo would absolutely refuse to use a fan translation, so in the event that they would be interested in porting Mother 3, they would have to rewrite code for a GBA game, something that may be impossible for them at this point or not worth the trouble in their eyes. Mother 1 was only translated because Nintendo was sitting on an official translation for years. Unless Nintendo decides to acknowledge the community that mods their games, something they are extremely against, I don't think we will ever see any sort of port or remaster outside of Japan.

[@Man_Jr._Extras_of_Leglas]

@@Shy3k I wouldn’t count on it NOT happening. 🤨

[@Astro_Crunch]

Love seeing the GilvaSunner respect in the credits. His uploads of MOTHER music were part of the reason that I got into the series.

[@animusdraws210]

From the first minute this hit me right in the heart where Mother 3 lives. This is such a beautiful tribute to a wonderful game. I know it's not a real remaster, but it makes me unbelievably happy even so. (that little animation of Lucas hugging Boney?? omg im gonna cry)

[@Cerise4697]

I've never played an Earthbound/Mother game before, but this certainly entices me to pick it up. So beautifully animated and scored, everyone would believe this was real.

[@worldsboss]

Mother 3 is absolute perfection distilled into a GBA cartridge. I adore everything about it; the music, the visuals, the story… it’s one of my favourite games of all time and the world needs to see it!

[@Ollision]

I just thought the same. This is hype enough to make me buy a remake.

[@Yoshiller]

Whoooooooa! That was INCREDIBLE! You guys are all so talented! I can only hope that Nintendo (or APE or whichever development company) calls you in one day to make this all official! I’m seriously impressed, and I look forward to seeing what other fun creations and tributes you’ll all create in the future! =)

[@Marjill_katzen888]

Pretty sure APE became Game Freak from what I heard. Edit:I meant Creatures Inc.

[@NunofYerbizness]

Mother 3 was developed by both HAL Laboratories, and Brownie Brown; APE only did EarthBound and EarthBound Beginnings, Pax Softnica did both those titles and returned for the Mother 1+2 collection on GBA, and Nintendo only did development work on EarthBound Beginnings.

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@LargoAnimations]

This perfectly depicts everyones vision on what the perfect Mother 3 remake would look like. Absolutely amazing job everyone :)

[@うわぁぁぁぁ-z3s]

MOTHER1と2が激熱のこの年に、MOTHER3の英語版を今からでも作ってあげてほしい。

[@worldsboss]

CAN YOU IMAGINE THOUGH?? If Nintendo showed something like this in a Direct, I really think they’d break the internet.

[@MrJFL]

I can sadly only imagine.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Holy heck, you guys really did this! Incredible work! Amazing!! Feels like the culmination of so much!

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@creativebeetle]

Every time the scene changed, I could not believe that there was more still. From the delightful character of the animation details, the immaculate renders of the scenes, the flawless portrayal of the clay artstyle, and the creative approaches to the camera/environment during the cutscenes, this is by far one of the most unexpected and jaw-dropping things I've seen.

[@zherbertt]

Mother 3 on Japanese Switch Online yet still not overseas… I pray that we’re gearing up for a remake in a similar vein to this amazing project, otherwise I fear the magic of mother 3 will never fully reach the west. One can dream 😢

[@catastrophe8708]

これでリメしてくれ、ドットの雰囲気から完璧に３D化できてるあまりのすごさに3分間ぐらい何も言葉にできなかった

[@innocuousnono4565]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. I'VE LOOKED AT THIS FOR FIVE HOURS NOW.

[@JohnWestIV]

You should be pitching this to Nintendo... they've accepted outside pitches before! This is what I've wanted to be done with Earthbound, ever since I read the guide as a kid. But to have it done to Mother 3? Yes please!

[@goodorrobot]

つい先日クリアしたばっかりなんだけど…… いいなあ、本当に凄いよ

[@sadly6168]

You Japanese people are so lucky...

[@hannahpestell18]

The amount of comments from creators here that I see reminds me how much this game really unites people. Nintendo may never bring it over but we have an amazing translation made with the same amount of love and passion the game itself was made with. its more than enough. thank you for making this .

[@personakirbystargod2047]

The fact that this isn't an actual Nintendo switch game surprises me alot. As a Mother 3 fan this is absolutely amazing.

[@OmegaSoundClown]

if this was turned into a fully fledged game, it would look absolutely AMAZING!! good job!!!!

[@Hezronion]

リメイクするならこれくらいの3Dデザインがいいな 無駄な改変もなく無駄な追加操作もなく、でも作中リダの話だけで終わった世界の真実を書き下ろしたリメイクバージョン。プレイしたいなぁ

Its unfair how we'll never get this in reality. God I hate how Nintendo blocks this game for no fucking reason

Man if an EarthBound game ever got a remake this is exactly what I would want it to look like. Awesome job guys!

I'm about to cry on how good this is. Jesus, we've been needing Mother 3 in the west but after seeing THIS MASTERPIECE, I think we all know what we need now... Absolutely splendid job on this entire project and maybe, just maybe will Itoi see this and want to make something like this. Once again, phenominal job and I hope you continue to make more of these.

[@TheBooKing]

Nintendo should just hire these people on the spot! Wow, this is so incredible! I loved every second of it, and appreciated the little details!

[@aitamopoldaccount1497]

"NINTENDO, HIRE THIS MAN!"

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

@@aitamopoldaccount1497 The difference being that this was 100% made from scratch and looks peofessional. The problem being that they all likely have jobs already.

[@twist9830]

Started playing the translated version yesterday and I love it so far (played through all of chapter 1). I love the environment and serenity of it all, but also the idea of a group of peaceful townsfolk being put to the test to defend what they love against a strange antagonistic force. I hate to see the townsfolk in pain, but I’m excited to seem them stand up for what’s right. Rest In Peace Hinawa.

[@T-Dawg75]

That…didn’t last long… If I had to give the game a subtitle, it would simply be “Corruption”.

[@carl-wheezer]

No crying until the end

[@jupiterscallie]

Good god, I almost started full on sobbing over this. It has such a nice, homey feel to it. I'm sure it's been said a few times, but it really reminds me of the Link's Awakening remake. I understand that I will never play this, but that understanding doesn't make me want it any less. What a fantastic outcome to this project. Major props and love.

[@jamsandwichiguess8082]

This video is absolutely incredible. I am without words. Hats off to everyone who worked on it.
