I did for a second think that SHINE spoiled the ending of the partner direct while I was watching it and was briefly furious

They translated the first one so it shouldn't be impossible... right?

I mean I know the likely answer but also SHINE did a clickbait title.

I believe this was a pseudo-Star Fox 2 situation where the translation had already been done or at least mostly done back when the game first came out in Japan and simply never released.

Star Fox 2 wasn't relased anywhere though, and some ideas where used in SF64.

I'm thinking Earthbound Beginnings might not have been the biggest success ever since they never followed up with this.

You completely missed my point, which was that they didn't translate Earthbound Beginnings from scratch to release it in the modern era. It was already done/mostly done decades ago. So Mother 3 isn't in the same boat.

You're right, I misunderstood.

Do we know that Mother 3 would be from scratch?

I feel like Mother 3 would do a lot better than EarthBound Beginnings if it had come out. The EarthBound Wii U rerelease was oddly successful. However, it would also cost more as they would be localising from scratch while EarthBound Beginnings was not only fully translated but they printed cartridges. Reggie straight up said that if the Wii U had done better and stuck around they would have brought over Mother 3. However the Switch replaced it, didnt have GBA emulation for years and is now nearing the end of its life.

I feel like, eventually, the game will release outside of Japan. The market for it is much better now than it was in 2006. However who knows how many years it will take. It also might not be original Mother 3 but a full remake maybe.

Wasn't EarthBound Beginnings near the top of the Wii U eShop best seller list? Of course, it was the Wii U, so it doesn't mean much, but it seems like it did well by Wii U standards, at least.

I never heard that he'd said this, but I DO remember there was an E3 Direct (I THINK it was 2014) where someone in an audience heckling him shouted out a request for Mother 3, so they've at least officially acknowledged the demand for the game.

Here's the video for that BTW:

As far as I know, that's Nintendo of America's latest stance on localizing Mother 3.
