What is the preferred way to play Mother / Earthbound Zero?

NES rom or GBA rom?

>> No.1695163

GBA version is more playable overall, but the NES version has much better audio.

GBA rom fixes a lot of the bullshit that makes the game kind of irritating, but ideally you download a patch for the NES version and play that because the GBA doesn't look or sound as good.

Here's one that's pretty simple. Just doubles experience and money to make the game less grindy. (Without it, the game is grindy as all fuck.)

This line always gets me.

You fags need to play more 8bit RPGs if you think Mother is "grindy"

I played them both, they're both grindy. Get off your high horse.

Thats only true for mother 2/SNES

Do you recommend DQ3 on NES or SNES?

>> No.1696879

>>1696865
Both. NES has some charm, but SNES has "better" graphics.

>> No.1696890

Snes 3 also fixes parry bug.
