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.

@@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.

I’ve never played a Mother or Earthbound game. I know virtually nothing about the lore. I’ve never even heard much of anything about them at all, other than that they are heartfelt and emotional cult classics. The only other thing I’ve heard for sure is the unified call for redemption for this particular game, which Nintendo constantly turns a blind eye to. And I sympathize with those people, for Mother is their passion and they want such a gem to live on. So when I laid eyes upon this, I could feel the burning love that went into it through the music, the visuals, and the chorus of all these devoted supporters rejoicing at this incredible tribute. It brings a smile to my face. Maybe Nintendo will never realize what they’re missing by holding back, but as long as this fanbase continues to share its marvelous creations, Itoi’s work will never be forgotten. In the meantime, I will be standing on the side and supporting you all…

[@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.

this is so charming, and it looks so much better than I'd even expect an official mother 3 remake (which is coming in like, 205X) to look. hats off to the entire team behind this

[@leseed23]

we need a mother 3 translation before a remake, though i wouldn’t mind the remake coming to the west before the actual game

[@feeeshmeister4311]

I see you everywhere since I subscribed to you. I think we have the same interests.

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@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!

[@alpspotato6006]

すばらしいです。ほんとリメイクしてくれることをずっと望んでいます

[@MrZonian]

This is so incredible from how everything moves it feels like a real gameplay trailer, and yet I'm so sad that it isn't, but maybe someday Nintendo will deliver!

[@HoodoHoodlumsRevenge]

This is one of the most amazing fan-made videos I’ve ever seen, perfectly paying tribute to one of the best games I’ve ever played. I got chills several times during this video and everyone involved should be extremely proud of themselves. Outstanding work!!

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@yahiryellow1]

dont you play mother music in your videos?

[@Nintendrew]

Woah. Absolutely beautiful, well done!!

[@frostech3149]

exactly, ofc one would expect this kind of quality from a fan tribute but this is far beyond the average expectations of one

[@T-Dawg75]

Truly!

Earth turning into metallic sphere, glad they catched the symbolism of MOTHER 3.

[@sonic40001]

Just noticed that, in the tribute, the light through the window is shining the closest to Lucas. Which is very endearing and accurate for his character development- *sees Hinawa being closer to the door and Claus between them* *-oh. **_Oh._*

[@blueknightskeleton8424]

Man. This is like- *Actually gorgeous.* *If it was official i would litteraly be hyping to death.*

Hi

[@user-vc3lm2ke2y]

マザーシリーズが世界で愛されていることをとても嬉しく思います！ ありがとうございます！ 日本から愛をこめて。

[@T-Dawg75]

You are lucky, you got mother 3, while we Americans had to wait for a fan to translate it.

[@psychic_digit]

MOTHER is truly a wonderful series, I’m glad it’s become more accessible to more people over the years.

[@luginess0]

Your one of the lucky ones! Having Mother 3... the rest of the world is still waiting for a rerelease that's official in English or other languages.

[@247guy]

Not really. It never released out of Japan

I've watched this quite a few times now, but I never left a comment. This is gorgeous. Huge props to the whole team, and their loved one's who are not around anymore. Thank you for creating such a beautiful tribute.

[@Mother4Fangame]

I love the animation style and the slightly low frame rate to call back to the original animations, and that transition at the end was amazing. You guys rock

[@DragonMals]

HI

[@cyanryann64]

This is literally god tier I need a remake like this from Nintendo

[@Nightmarefoxy30000]

Sadly i don't think it will ever come to pass

[@ProfessorVince]

Nintendo should back this big time! The amount of detail and accuracy is simply astonishing!

[@baddabaddabaddaswing]

Keep in mind that this franchise is Ito's baby, and even if Nintendo owns the IP 100%, they've always been respectful towards Ito in terms of moving the series forward or not. Ito has said that he believes the series is complete, and possible that he has no interest in a remake, as lovely as it would be to see.

[@BabzaiWWP]

remakes are for fans to do

[@dickfitzwell7333]

Nintendo is not making an effort the strategy is to sell over price emulated roms....

[@YanntastischGER]

And I thought the Wess Dance video was groundbreaking. Mother 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, and seeing so many highlights in clay-like 3D is priceless. A remake on the Switch would look exactly like this. Thanks for your work!

[@joemama2499]

I hope artificial claymation becomes a trend in gaming. It looks so great.

[@AiNaKa]

you should check out hylics if you like the claymation aesthetic! the first one is made completely from real photographed clay. the second is at least mostly computer generated i believe though.

[@justafox7852]

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.

[@MagcargoCarrier]

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.

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

[@DragonMals]

Hi

[@ge789]

I never played the Mother/Earthbound series, but even I feel a bit nostalgic watching this. Probably due to the movement and camera angles being reminiscent of other games similar to it, which I’ve watched, played and loved all the same. I can clearly see all the love and care for the game in the animations, and I bet that those feelings reached those who do have nostalgic ties to the game.

[@killager6767]

This should be reason for you to play it because it’s honestly incredible

[@uhhh_adam]

Sweet memories. You should give this series a shot. This one is definitely the weird one

[@seren88]

Finally played this game and honestly if this popped up on a Nintendo Direct, I would have cried so happy. But even if the remake doesn't happen, we still live in a timeline where this beautiful video is complete and real! To the whole team, Thank You!!!!❤

[@paulpavlus6664]

4:45 At the bottom GilvaSunner on the right and Gears for Breakfast on the creators of A Hat in Time! Can't believe they helped with this version of Mother 3!

[@ThaneGaming]

Absolutely stunning animation. So much love & care put into this project...it's impossibly beautiful, and that's bittersweet because it looks so much like a remake Nintendo could greenlight! I can see this having been shown right after the EarthBound/Beginnings NSO announcement from this month's Direct...everyone would've utterly lost their minds 😅 my eyes were wide open watching the entire thing, it's honestly the most detailed tribute to one of my favorite games ever. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together 🌎

[@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.

[@grundypeebo]

wow this looks great! i especially love the battle screens and the animation of the enemies along with it

[@RobertTheFoxxo]

[@krispyboi9162]

Hopefully Itoi (With his permission because it's HIS idea/game) and Nintendo can look at this masterpiece and do an HD remake of this game(Like the recent Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening). I guarantee it'll sell and make a TON of people happy, (and possibly invite new people to the Mother series) plus they already added Earthbound to the Switch so this would just be the icing on the cake.

[@alersfajnypies]

they would probably have to localize mother 3 first, and it will probably take a long time since original mother was localized only 6 years ago 😔it would be a dream come true if they made 3d mother though

[@notme437]

@@alersfajnypies the original mother was localized after its release, but was released in the us only recently, so it probably wouldnt take that long

[@DCombz]

I would pay $60 in a heartbeat. And yes, just use that engine they used for Link's Awakening and I'd be satisfied.
