I always joke that's it's probably coming out the Monday after whatever comment I'm making. I have high hopes, you see.

Maybe tomorrow!

For Europeans I tend to recommend the "do what it takes to play this game" method

In a completely legal, non-ban-offensible-to-talk-about way.

It's always good to keep your hopes up!

That's like the Earthbound fans' motto right there.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Mother 3 Fan Translation project has reached completion, and the patch will be out at the end of the week.

Please commence freaking out.

I am totally freaking out.

I think my freaking out will only reach its apex wwhen more people are freaking out!

I am a grown man, I am educated, have a job, and a wife but every freaking time I beat the original earthbound I cry like a little girl. I can't help it. I beat it just a month ago getting ready for the patch and I cried yet again like a little girl. It's such a damn moving final battle and ending.

It's finished. It's done.

I know the game has technically been out since 2006, but I say we treat today as the English-speaking release date for the game and treat spoilers as such.
