Before anyone points it out, I know this video is pretty outdated. Nintendo announced that the Nintendo Switch won't have Virtual Console, and at this point I'm not even sure if GBA games will be re-released again. But not only is that part outdated, but my thoughts have also changed. The chances of Mother 3 being localized are pretty unlikely. Nintendo would have to put a lot of effort into translating this game, and they can't just make this a priority above other games seeing how niche Mother's fanbase is. Maybe if they do have the time, they could finally get this game out, but don't have any expectations for them doing so. If you really want to play Mother 3, I would recommend checking out the Fan Translation. It's been out for years, and it's very easy to find. But you probably know about it if you're watching this video.
Should Mother 3 be released for Nintendo Switch Virtual Console? Here are my thoughts on what they should do.
