Oh-So-Late Game Realizations

None foundMay 27th, 2009 | MOTHER 3, Rumors
I like Destructoid stuff, and the idea of consulting a psychic about upcoming E3 stuff just adds to that pile of fondness I have for the site.
But what I found most interesting in that visit to the psychic was that she predicted that MOTHER 3 would be released on the Nintendo DS.
Of course, I don’t really believe that stuff, but it’s awesome that the question was even asked 😀
And since I know people will probably bring the topic up, here is the link where Brownie Brown said they’d love to make a DS version of MOTHER 3, Nintendo just has to say the word.
PS please Giygas, if this does come true, make it so an English version is made too, if I have to hack a DS version of MOTHER 3 I think I’ll explode

51 Comments to Psychic Predicts MOTHER 3 for DS
I remember when Gameinfomer asked a psychic what game console was gonna win.
It was during the N64, and PS days.
She said the console that was the first to connect to the internet would come out the winner.
Turns out it was the Dreamcast, and we all know what happened to that.

getting my ice cream ready. As per mitch comic.
Pssh. I’d rather play a Mato-translated M3 DS title over NoA’s translation. XD

XD ROFL
“Call me now, babies~” I loved those Miss Cleo commercials from back in the day. I kind of miss them.
After reading a few of her predictions, namely “Nintendo has an attitude that they know everything, but that is a problem. They are having trouble taking in outside criticism.” I have to say stat I 100% have to believe this prediction. It’s gonna happen. 😀
I voted “no” since I’m trying to be realistic. Voting “yes” seems too hopeful, to me. I like Tomato’s translation, anyway, but I would love an official Nintendo English release of MOTHER 3.
PSYCHIC PREDICTS MOTHER 3 FOR DS
..Afterwards, she shouted, “PSI TELEPORT!” and ran into a wall, sparking endless debate over her legitimacy pertaining to Mother/Earthbound.
why would you translate (the/a) DS version if you’ve already translated the GBA version?

Uhhh… Wow. That’s about all I can say.
But it was the PENDULUM that predicted it, not her, so that means it has to be right. The pendulum never lies.
Why would it go unreleased in America if it’s announced at an AMERICAN Expo?
If it were Spaceworld, it would stand a chance of not getting international release.
Oh well, we’ll see.

I don’t think the Mother 3 question specifically concerned E3 though, just in general.
eb0ebm3: because a DS version would have new/different things probably.
Of course, I would expect you to explode if you had to hack a DS Mother 3
i voted No. as much as i would love for this to happen, i doubt it. and psychics are bullcrap in my opinion anyways.

I would say “when pigs fly” but them the chimera lab would probably create one with wings.
NoA’s letter font would probably suck. I like Mato’s, but if it does come out, I’d get it anyway.
Goin’ with LucasTizma on this one. I think the fan translation is definitely more personal, seeing how it was a complete labor of love. As mind-blowing as it would be to see a DS Mother 3 over here, I’d rather play Mato’s version <3
OK, this is just awesome. Not only did somebody who didn’t have a clue about video games (and DEFINITELY had never even heard of MOTHER 3) pull out several tarot cards whose meanings pointed to the release of MOTHER 3 for DS, she also used a psychic pendulum without even putting force into it, which said that MOTHER 3 would be released for DS.
She must be as psychic as Paula, or more!
I don’t know if they would translate a MOTHER 3 for DS, but based on what Brownie Brown once said, it is very likely that Iwata will try to make it possible.

Lol, Miss Cleo….
I’d have to say no though, Nintendo seems it wants to stay away from the Mother series as much as possible…

Completely agree, rayefrenzy.
In due time, we will know what happens. I’m a skeptic when it comes to Psychics but if this comes true, then I’ll believe.

Well if she’s wrong, about 3000 pissed off EB fans will be all over her XD
If she’s right, she might get relatively famous, it is a pretty bold prediction.
I like how he asked about F-Zero. I think I recall the creators being unsure how to improve from GX.
But what about Pilotwings for the Wii? Seems so logical, yet totally ignored.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a Mother 3 remake was announced for the DS, but I’ll remain cautiously optimistic and say that I’m not expecting it. If it does happen, its very likely it will have an international release, considering all the publicity it got in Smash Bros. Brawl and what not. Unless it ends up being released at the very end of the DS’s life span where its too late to localize, as was the fate of the GBA version. But I’ll be cautiously optimistic. Cautiously.
I can see a remake happening, in fact I would say that it is likely seeing the rather poor timing of the original release with GBA on the decline. However, I doubt that any remake would be in Engrish, which is unfortunate, but at least we always have Mato.

Ha, that was a strangely enjoyable read, despite me never believing in anything a psychic or fortune teller says 😛 Interesting that the pendulum said yes to it. It almost sounds like a fanboyish dream. I wonder how much of this will actually come true though when it comes in time for the con~? Bingo!

I mentioned it before, but I’m pretty sure that that prediction (and most of the others) isn’t for E3 specifically.

According to Wikipedia, the recent Nintendo Power says Mother 2 is being remade for the Wii.
If she’s right, she’s awesome.
If she’s wrong, you gotta give her credit for being so convincing.
Either way, I’m glad that this was asked.
Also, I agree with Tomato. If the pendulum is psychic, it probably only answers the question itself, not paying heed to the circumstances of the actual meeting.
The only thing predicted to come this year that didn’t come was Dragon Quest IX.
If she couldn’t use PSI then I won’t say that’s a very reliable source ;D
If she turns out to be right though….i’m SO gonna go to Psychic’s more often.
I was thinking the same thing as Fuzzy Pickles and Mato: I doubted it was answering the question on E3 specifically.
Yes, I have faith in something like this happening. Besides, what about Brownie Brown saying they would love to bring this to America, right? Just saying…how much more would it hurt to believe? If you don’t, who will?
Well, if she’s right, the English release had BETTER come with a free Franklin Badge, if you pre-ordered… Then, I’d get on my knees and grovel and beg and plead my parents to pre-order it…
Well I could definitley see that happening because its a classic and like all classics, is probably gonna be remade. BUTTT….The DS’s life is almost over with.

“Turns out it was the Dreamcast, and we all know what happened to that.”
The problem wasn’t Dreamcast itself. It was the mere mention of the PS2 coming out that led to it becoming a failure.
(Why am I replying to a comment from three years ago? Oh well ;[)
🙁 Now that its 2012 and the 3ds has been out for quite a while… I hate to say it but I doubt Mother 3 is being remade for DS. It seems like the 3ds is the new thing and Nintendo is focusing a bit less on DS games.
In related news, I checked with resident SMNet badge icon Patrick, but he just said “WOWOWOWOW I CANT BELEVE TOMATAO GOT MS CLEO TO BE IN HIS POOL!!!!!!!” so I’d say it’s a toss-up.
