This is a gba game correct?

From the look of the title screen you'd think the game is already in English

I have received said ROM, and yet I don't think I want to even try and start a new game. The opening music is too damn mesmerising to try. (Itoi still imbues ambience in his (?) music like a champ).

Inline post another gigantic software plus video card interpolation screen shot and I'll murder you. Was that really necessary? You probably had to PrintScreen and crop it manually, when there's a handy screen shot feature built-in that leaves only simple pixel doubling.

I take it that it doesn't have a language option.

Well... Mother 2 started in Canada, and took place in mostly English speaking countries, and Mother 3 probably does to, so of course they released the English version at the same time. I mean, it only makes sense.

What makes you think it started in Canada? I thought that at least Onett, twoson, threed and Fourside where located in the fictional "Eagleland". Which in my opinion parodies US a lot better than Canada.

Something I haven't read that I should?

I feel sorry for nintendo. The rom was really easy to find. At any rate I doubt I'll even try playing it until the english version comes out.

For some reason, I was under the distinct impression that Onett at least was in Canada. And I was pretty sure that they weren't in Eagleland, that was where Jeff was from (which was clearly a parody of Britain... I mean, boarding school's and Nessie)

Maybe I just made it up (or maybe I read it in Nintendo Power or something). I haven't played the game for a long time. But I definitely remember thinking that the game started in Canada, moved down to the US, flew over to Britain, and then teleported to India (I don't think I played past that point though... my save got corrupted then, and I didn't feel like getting all my work back)

Onett is in Eagleland - Jeff is from Winters.

Here is a map of the world, actually: http://starmen.net/merchandise/images/mother2_5.jpg

fail (remote linking image)
Workaround by dragging URL into address bar and Ctrl+F5

Very cool - I didn't know about that workaround. What does control F5 do?

MisterJones · Post by **MisterJones** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 9:01 pm

Hard refresh. Which means it ignores your cache, and redownloads everything.

Ichinisan · Post by **Ichinisan** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 11:17 pm

I've heard that it also signals an ISP's proxy cache and DNS to refresh.

MisterJones · Post by **MisterJones** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 1:08 am

I'm not pretty sure about that, as I remember where there was DNS troubles in a website I used to visit, once thy were fixed, I still had issues, because my stupid ISP never refreshed the domains, and ctrl+f5 didn't do crap.

Jikmo · Post by **Jikmo** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 4:43 am

heh, yeah, guess I don't remember too much then

I wonder why I was so sure that Onette was in Canada though

darkbenny · Post by **darkbenny** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 9:00 pm

Was there really ever any doubt this would happen?

Answer: No
