Great game. I'd buy the official version if Nintendo would release it in English.
Great game, deep story. Looks and sounds amazing for a Game Boy Advance game. Gameplay is solid, refining what made up it's predecessors. Battles go by fast (most of the time.) And the battle system is kept from getting old due to having a system where combos can be performed by pressing the a button with the songs beat. Though I can see why Nintendo hasn't released it in the west (controversial topics, extremes Nintendo hasn't gone to in the west.) But if they'd take a chance I'm sure it would sell well.Great game, deep story. Looks and sounds amazing for a Game Boy Advance game. Gameplay is solid, refining what made up it's predecessors.

The definitive way to play MOTHER 3 in English
Mother 3 is one of the greatest rpg’s to ever be released on the GBA. It contains compelling gameplay, beautiful graphics and a wonderful story. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing the game has never officially been released outside of japan (fingers crossed for a switch port 😝). Luckily, the wonderful folks at MOTHER3.FOBBY.NET went through the entire game and translated every bit of text. Using this translation many high quality reproduction carts have been made over the years including the one I purchased from river city retro. The cart is nearly indistinguishable from actual GBA carts. The only difference I can pick up on is that the cart is a tad too tall but thats just me nitpicking. I’ve tested the cart on all the equipment I have and it has worked flawlessly on all of it ... Mother 3 is one of the greatest rpg’s to ever be released on the GBA.

If you are thinking of picking up an english repro don’t hesitate it is well worth it! Put the emulator down and whip out the old Gameboy because this is by far the definitive way to experience Mother 3.

One of the best stories in gaming
“Mother” really is the perfect name for this game—but not because mothers play a large role in the story, but rather that their absence does. More than anything else, Mother 3 is an exploration about the loss of a mother and how that one act topples the lives of all those connected like a series of dominoes. The young boy Claus ventures into the wild to kill the T-Rex-like creatures he feels are responsible for killing his mother; and then he disappears. With the loss of a wife and son, Flint spends his days in the wild looking for his missing son. And the remaining son, Lucas, grows up shy and alone—yet self-sufficient.“Mother” really is the perfect name for this game—but not because mothers play a large role in the story, but rather that their absence does.

Great Translation for a Great Sequel!
I got this for my brother who is a big fan of the Earthbound / Mother series, and he has spent many a day playing it. This translation is very well done and the game plays just like the original released in Japan, making for a rather great port. In general, Mother 3 matches up well to the others in the series with a great story, a rather jamming soundtrack, and the quirky sense of humor you do not find in most games these days. (I've been told the difficulty is equal to that of Earthbound/Mother 2).I got this for my brother who is a big fan of the Earthbound / Mother series, and he has spent many a day playing it.

Excellent build and works great!
This repro is, unfortunately, the only way we're going to be able to get an English release of this game, but I'm not complaining. The quality of the work on both the translation and the cart rivals anything that would have been officially produced. The compelling story is what made me want this (and I had already played it through twice before making this purchase to have a physical copy.)
