Dumb question; what’s the current method of playing Mother 3? I uh, haven’t actually played it.

Unless you have a GBA and the cartridge, a ROM and emulation is how you’d do it nowadays.

Every anniversary I’ll pay respects and say I’m sorry
For they never stood / A chance, as if they could
When no one knows what it’s like to be us

Weirdly enough, I’m a pomegranate.

I have a GBA and a cartridge for all three games.

That’s how I played them.

I live on comedy.

One day I’ll probably die from too much of it.

I just realized a thing when I was double checking the GPP stuff.

The needle order is off. You get Kumatora on the 2nd needle. 1st needle happens off screen near the start of Chapter 7. I figured I’ll flag that in case of confusion.

Hey Empower, I was just wondering if there was any specific timezone that ‘May 10’ is referring to. I’m in Australia, so my May 10 starts in just a few hours, but I’ve still got a bit to do before I can consider my (((((TOP SECRET AUDIOVIZ SUBMISSION))))) to be in a releasable state.

I think that if this in an American timezone, I’ll be able to crack out the last bit of work before the deadline. Otherwise, or if I can’t, is it okay if I submit a demonstration video of it in action while incomplete instead, then the full thing when I’m ready?

they/them who likes to play games. Also likes to enjoy games, but this part is optional.

Fellow Australian, I have your back! You get a whole day I believe, so don’t fear.

Great to hear. Look out for it in the audioviz thread, I’ve been working on it almost nonstop since the funfest announcement, so I’m pretty excited to be able to share it soon.
