Original Mother was a wonderful game on Famicom!

I don't really think it matters since the officially translated ROM has been distributed in several ways.  If Nintendo did release it officially, that would be pretty cool, but I bet it wouldn't make that big of a difference to people as, for example, something like Mother 3.

I'm confused  -  do you mean in Virtual Console form?  I'm sure it would get picked up and porting costs next to nothing for an 8-bit game.

Thanks to Nintendo's marketing team, we lost out on one other great game.  >:(

It wasn't really the marketing team, it was just too late in the NES life-span to release a game like mother.  It wouldn't have seen any profit.  The marketing team had kickass ideas, very similar to how earthbound was eventually marketed in the states.


From the places I read, it was quite the opposite. Hell, they were almost in production with guides and everything before they decided to squash it.

Here's a Famicom repro that ended recently. I would have bid but it went too high. I ended up bidding on the FFIII repro he was selling and I got that for $50.

The FFIII and Mother repro are two of the few Famicom reproduction carts I've ever seen. Usually, people do NES Reproductions instead.
