Glad Vivi posted it. I gave a heads up to the curators because I was too busy today to even log in on the Repo. Mondays are ass.

I've put off the trilogy for 20+ years, but I'm finally starting it in a few weeks.

Is there any reason to play the original NES game at this point? Or, is this the new preferred default?

This here substitutes the original in every metric from what I'm seeing.

This is pretty much the definitive way to play the first Mother game imo!

The full color players guide is still in development, but it will be released in the future. I'll ask Rage to post the guide.

Oh. Well darn, that was a bit misleading for them to already act like it's available in the cover. I'll look forward to it at least. I like having well made guides for rpgs. I don't usually need them, but it's a nice option to have

 

[Vortex]

No way they actually finished it.
Congrats.

 

[Unassuming_Spook]

NO way, is this for real!? I'm so downloading. ;~;

How'd I miss that?

 

[Strategist Strategist]

didn't know this was a thing. I've been playing Earthbound recently and I might try this version of Mother 1.

Where can the full color players guide that is mentioned on the cover be downloaded? I would include it in the post download too. It's nice to include manuals and guide PDFs if they exist for fan projects like this. Like I did for that Metroid II hack last night

All this time believing it would be another vaporware fan project, and it's finally here...

extremly strange nintendo didnt use mother 1 to redo in 16 bit style wile in projecting with satellaview exclusive games on it.

good point. Especially as other RPGs like Dragons quest got SNES remakes

 

[Yoyoyo123]

Ive literally played all two of the three of these and now i have no excuse lol

 

[TheManInBlack]

I played through the original with a few improvement hacks a few years ago and it was still rough. Very excited to play this remake, looks very faithful and damn pretty in the Mother 2/3 art style.

 

[Terrence Fartbubbler]

This is something that Nintendo should have done a long time ago. I am pleased to see someone did this!

so whats the next one? "what if mother 3 came out on the 64 as originally conceived?"

A team of fans is developing a fan game based on the canceled Mother 3: The Fall of the Pig King (N64) called EarthBound 64 Experience.

It looks pretty cool! ngl

 

[RageBurner]

Can you test this fan remake to know if everything is working well, Rage?

I played for a few minutes and it is working well. The link you set is also working.

so whats the next one? "what if mother 3 came out on the 64 as originally conceived?"

You never know. The Neo Geo can't Doom, nominally, but people are doing it.

Playing it alongside the NES original. So far, it's a faithful recreation and I appreciate the enemy encounters no longer being randomized (just like in "MOTHER 2"). The audio team also did a great job with the SNES remixes of "MOTHER 1" tracks.

Having all Mother games be on the same level of quality makes very happy.

Ladies and gentlemen, at last, something perfectly balanced.
