As reported, the MOTHER 3 (aka Earthbound 2) fan translation is now available for download! After 13 years of waiting, fans can finally play the game in English. Pick it up via the source. A video of the game in action is in the quote, but beware of some spoilers!

After more than 13 years of waiting, the sequel to EarthBound is now in English! I hope fans of the series, new and old, will find MOTHER 3 to be just as unique and interesting as its predecessors. We tried our very best to make a worthy translation, and I think we came close to hitting that mark. With any luck, the translation will seem just as "strange, funny, and heartrending" as the original Japanese version.

MOTHER 3 is filled with secrets and rarities. Characters say new things after even the tiniest of events. Take your time to explore the game's intriguing world - you won't be disappointed! And when you're done, be sure to come back here, because we've prepared many more goodies for fans to check out and enjoy post-game!

Enjoy your time in the world of MOTHER 3!

    Nice. I noticed this project a few months ago, and couldn't wait for it to be finished. They obviously put a lot of work into this. It seems a little glitchy, but an overall good translation

    They even named a NPC Reggie, and used the word "bastards".

    The guys who translated Mother 3 are gods.
