Face It, You’ll Never Get To Play Nintendo’s RPG Holy Grail

At this point, it looks like Mother 3 will never come out in the US. First released for the Game Boy Advance as a Japanese exclusive in 2006, the third game in the Mother series has since gained a worldwide cult following. It seems like a game perfectly suited for the US video game market: it draws heavily from the American cowboy mythos, and has a universal, if not easily translated, sense of punny, cartoonish humor. But despite consistent player demand, Mother 3 has still never had an official release outside of Japan.
