The long wait is almost over for thousands of English Speaking Mother 3 fans. After much anticipation, hard work and many challenges the group announced four days ago on the Mother 3 fan translation site that all of the necessary game hacking is now complete and all that has to be done is game testing. The Translation group formed when Nintendo refused to release the Japanese made game in the US or in English claiming that there was no interest. The fans responded and even after 30,000 signatures were collected in support of an English release Shigesato Itoi and Nintendo did nothing. The translation is a huge victory for Nintendo fans, gamers, and RPG lovers alike. When completed the translation will be released as a patch and will be able to be played on any GBA emulator or on any Nintendo DS with the use of a Flashcart.
