/vr/ - Retro Games

The best version is the unaltered US Prototype; the one Nintendo released on Wii U virtual console. Don't bother with anything else.

Well shit, great taste the both of you. I hardly ever find anyone who prefers the original localization.

The music is a nightmarish affront to one of the absolute best NES soundtracks (and frankly, one of the major reasons the game is so excellent), the screen resolution is wrong, the tile-based movement is broken so it feels like a flash game, and the color palette is weird. I know that palette is fixable with a patch but why bother when the official release is perfect as is. Regarding Tomato's translation, it's fine; it's just so similar to Sandhop's that I find it pointless, and definitely not worth playing the GBA port for, or that hacked NES version with Mato's text. I would rather play the translation created during the actual localization process, just my personal preference.

I haven't played it, but as far as I've read it's the exact same Earthbound Zero ROM that's been available since forever, with an edited title screen ("Beginnings").
I think not even the run button NPC bug was fixed (it was on the GBA version).
Let me know if I'm wrong.

It's ridiculous how triggered you shills get every single time anyone disagrees with your zealotry, and I will be here whenever this question gets asked to do it again. Keep up the good work, I'm sure you'll get Reddit Gold™ when you go back to /r/earthbound to tell everyone about how crazy your 4chan 'raid' was.

Sorry, typo. Yeah, there's no reason to play the 'Zero' version, or any of the other versions that gimp the difficulty (it's not a hard game). The fixed run button is pretty negligible, hardly an advantage when the rest of the port is objectively worse in every way.

Don't cry until the ending

MOTHER is the best of the trilogy, bar none.

Guess anothet play through is in order, t
I applied their patch and a patch restoring enemy sprites. I'll make sure to recommend this version to people, thanks.

This is nice. Finally the original Mother getting recognition and an official release outside of Japan.

I wonder if it's the exact same translation from the unreleased NES prototype or if they're going to rework it.
I assume it will have the fixed run button like the GBA version.

Probably to an extent... Ness on Smash Bros is probably a huge factor.

However, personally, I got into Mother because of Keiichi Suzuki, since I am a huge fan of Moonriders. When I learned that he made the OST for the first 2 Mother games, I wanted to play them right away.
Before that, I wasn't too interested on the games.

Was pleasantly surprised, loved them.
