      I think the biggest factor working against it is the fact it's on the GBA. Mother 1 was already designed to be played on a television. By the time they uprez the entire game to make it look presentable they'll probably have sunk more money into it than they'll make. The only reason Nintendo ignores these franchises for years or even decades at a time is because they never made a lot of money to begin with.

      Yeah, I get the intention Itoi had with the Magypsies, but that was back in 2006 and society has changed a lot since then. I didn't find them offensive, but I understand why some people would find them offensive (especially in sites like Twitter...)
      Regarding other themes like death and the TaneTane drug trip... well, just give it a T rating. Earthbound Beginnings got a T Rating when it was released on the Wii U (and that is most likely because of a reference to underage drinking)

    My favorite thing about Mother 3 that wasn't mentioned in the video: the rhythm-based battle system is used for musical jokes. A couple hours into the game, once the player has figured out how to chain attacks by following the beat, battle themes start speeding up or slowing down, switching time signatures, or abruptly cutting to dumb little musical interludes, disrupting your hits until you learn the songs and start planning around them. It's amazing and made me laugh out loud several times.

    What sold me on the fan translation was a simple little thing. The healing springs have haikus. Whenever the translations add an extra syllable, it will say so at the end. This actually followed the original gam which would note extra syllables. He kept that part in but then only added it when the English version would have them.
    A wonderful little change which took and applied context in both languages while translating meaning :)

    One can mod a GBA to remove most of the Hissing and board artifacts for the audio output. Even though it is competing for CPU power, the CPU itself isn't the primary source for most noise.
    You'll have to clean the audio potentiometer out, polish the power switch, and add capacitors/recap the board where the stock capacitance is at its limit.
    You can find guides on how to do this through google, I bulk ordered a bunch of capacitors off of digikey and have cleaned up 6 boards myself. People sell kits to fix this, but they are overpriced. Just find the right size capacitors from any electronic supplier and test the board after each swap/addition.
    I actually use the sound player in Mother 3 to test the GBA's that i've done this mod on, which is why I feel I should leave this comment. The game deserves to be heard with the noise removed while playing on the original system.

    I remember checking out the Mother 3 Translation blog everyday for new updates at the time. It was fun to see all the bugs they would run into and had to overcome. When it finally came out. They had announced the Mother 3 Handbook to go along with it. So I order that right away. I still have the Handbook.

    Hold up- is there a Sample Song playlist as I'd dig hearing the music at its full quality?
    Hell a cute little thing the fan translation did was they got Lucas's voice actress to say a few lines for a patch & it's legit adorable.

    Sorry if I'm like the billionth person to tell you this at this point but Moon Channel did a video recently on why this game won't be localized - its because of the change to US copyright about use of Music. You can thank Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines for that

    As a mother fan, I prefer that they never release an "official" translation as it won't be as good as the fan translation and probably horribly censored...
