This game is a lot of fun and really amazing. Has some dark humor in it as well as being a very bizarre game. ESPECIALLY the ending. Holy shit the ending. If you have a Wii U, get it. I really enjoy the off-tv play aspect of it here.

Taggerung should do a play-through of it.

HRG b4nny: i hear its a good classic game
HRG tagg@work: nah
HRG tagg@work: i dont play that many turn based rpg games

Aww fuck. The only thing that's turn based about it is the battle sequences. It's a very funny and great game, I'm not usually a sucker for turn based battle games but this one got to me because the text is hilarious to read. The enemy variety is also really bizarre. You fight hippies, snakes, ants, miniature UFOs, and paintings, among other things(it gets much weirder).

I personally liked Mother 3 better, but me and my brother are going to pick it up on our Wii U when we get home from our trip in a few weeks.

My favorite game. If it's anyone's first time playing: ignore all the "hype" and just stick with it for a while, it takes some time to get going. Even by today's standards I'd consider it highly playable (albeit largely due to its personality, though the battle mechanics are kind of interesting too..)

I'd buy it just to get Nintendo to consider an official English release of Mother 3, unfortunately I don't own a Wii U.

I just hope they didn't change any of the quirky things to satisfy the non-fun people. I did enjoy the battle mechanics immensely though.

They only changed the stuff that violated copyrights. Like The Beatles stuff, some music that the road band did etc.

After years of waiting I'm so excited. I'm considering buying a WiiU just for this.
