What makes translating it so hard? Just give the text to someone. Have em translate it. Have someone else play and give feedback. Then edit.

If you're actually curious about this, I've been reading the Legends of Localization book about Earthbound and it is pretty interesting! There are a lot of things to worry about besides just changing the text.

make up your own story based on what you see, it'll be an adventure for your imagination also for navigating menus and items

The entire English script is on GameFaqs (there’s also a translated GBA ROM out there)

people should just play it on their PC in English for free like I did back in 2008 and stop holding out a candle for Nintendo to acknowledge the series

It's time for a revisit.

Well, for one, there's a noteworthy group of characters named after a literal slur and who can be pretty easily viewed as a nasty stereotype of trans folk despite the characters themselves being entirely helpful and cool.

That sounds like it would be extremely easy to translate actually.

Also at this junction Nintendo probably get more use from the game as a white whale anyway. They'd get just as many collum-inches, more probably, being "Those bastards who whore Mother 3" over "Them good-types who finally released Earthbound 2"

With the Switch 2 getting delayed to after the holiday season, Nintendo are going to be scrambling to get a big, mass appeal tentpole title for November. The Mother 3 translation is coming.

Mister Facetious posted:Eden Games still exists, but they went the free to play route after tdu 2 with the Gear.Club 1 & 2 mobile games. As far as I know they legally dissolved back in 2013 after Atari had spent a while firing over half the studio and later reformed as a new company, so even with a fair number of old employees being back it's technically not the same company.

American McGay posted:Findall "magypsy" In context, yes, because there are events that happen which probably would get adjusted. It isn't impossible but it would require going in and changing sprites/etc which is more work than they likely want to deal with.

I don't think that's why they aren't releasing the game i think it's because it's a very niche RPG and translating an extremely text intensive game is a lot of work and money

Thank god we got Blast Corps because Mother 3 being Japan only was gonna make me da joker.

Fantasy Life isn't coming out until October? gently caress. That's really far out. Nothing else in this direct was later than summer.

Penny's Big Breakaway could probably be good and I like the first World of Goo. Not exactly a huge amount of interesting stuff in this direct otherwise, though. Is Endless Ocean just an exploration game, or are you likely to be eaten by sharks and such? I think this might be the first time I'm hearing about it.

They were chill aquarium sims published by Nintendo back in the Wii days. The new one looks slightly interesting because it has online but the same kinda boring otherwise.
