Mother 1 is fully translated and if you're buying it for the first game go for it, but Mother 2 is hardly translated in some areas and if you really want to play mother 2/Earthbound I'd just get a send reproduction somewhere else.

as a fan of the mother(earthbound) series, I enjoyed playing them, along with having a hard copy of the game, but the game is playable for the most part, mother 1 is translated to English but the music in the game sounds rough, so I had to lower the volume or play it on mute, mother 2 however. sound and music are smooth while some text where unable to read when talking to some of the NPCs, this doesnt crash the game. but helps out a bit on who you need to talk to in order progress throught the game those NPCs will have a full english text.

It is an amazing experience of the first two mother games in one! The storyline is compelling since it is telling one whole story about an alien's decent into madness. However, there are a few faults with this: mother 2. Mother 2 has a few problems because of the translation errors, and due to this, the game is mostly not understandable. Other than that, great game! The third best game of all time (two is chronotrigger and the best game of all time is Mother 3. Go check those two out sometime too!)

Well this is my full collection now The Mother Translation Earth Bound Collection this is what we are missing in America! well if your curious as to what kind of game they are well if you ever played Final Fantasy 3/4 SNES/SFC this is what kinda of game it is except think Maniac Mansion with a Zelda like game- from the NES days and imagine if they made a sequel on the other consoles NES,SNES? Yeah but it had more A Boy named Nester and he's the Hero of this game you start waking up in your bedroom by a crash Crashhhhhh..Ohh the plot thickens!..You get money by battling bullies and also like a credit card your parents give it to you after you win those battles well you get the picture-- and yes you did see him in a fighting game Hint--Super Smash what yeah you got Super Smash Brothers!..The game was so much fun and addicting to play that I had to get them all Final Fantasy meets Maniac Mansion with Zelda all in a X-Files Fringe type game!~ Hell yeah! But unfortunately we never got to see this entire series in America all we got in 1995 was Earth Bound but Nintendo secretly back in 1991-93 had I kid you not Earth Bound Zero in Development so what happened?.they decided to scrap it for in favor of Earth Bound Super Nintendo! So why haven't they made any more Blame that on Greedy Japan please translate these games JAPAN Kanji Text is a pain in the ass to translate yes but it took my friend and I 5-6 months to translate FF7! And we beat it! That was 7 years ago I believe..But anyway Mother is late in America and if they are planning on bringing it back from the dead they had better hurry up already NOJ-NOA!-- 1995-2010 that's really pathetic! and sad that they don't care about what there Hardcore fans want in America!!-- All The Mother games over here in America! So if you ever decide to buy it use Ebay and search for a deal like I got!Read full review
