    Mother 3

    Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Apr 20, 2006

    Mother 3 is the third game in Shigesato Itoi's critically acclaimed Mother series. In the game, Lucas and various other protagonists fight to defeat a large army known as the Pig Army who are ruining their otherwise peaceful lives.

    Mother 3 endurance run would be amazing.

    Think about it: it's funny, unpredictable and absurd, but also strangely touching and thought provoking.  Jeff and Vinny's reactions to the Magypsy stuff would be great.  At the same time it's easy to pick up, simple, and short, which would be nice after Persona 4.

    Now, if only it could be done legally.  [sadface]

    I don't recall exactly how long it took me to complete it, but it was nowhere near as long as Persona 4. I guess it depends on what you mean by an endurance run. A game that takes a very long time to complete or just the enduring of a game until it's complete? Which to me doesn't sound particularly enjoyable. It unfolds in a very dramatic way so I think it'd be enjoyable for anyone who has not played it yet. They'd have to find a way to make sure the music comes in clear, Mother 3 had some of the best music for sure.

    I was actually thinking of doing this today and decided to check the forums to see if someone had the same idea.  
     
    Would people be interested in watching an endurance run done by a couple random people, given the audio quality on the game and commentary is clear, and the commentary itself would be concise, insightful, and with a certain degree of comedic asides in a similar style to the P4 run? 
     
    Doing something like that for me would be dependant on whether people would be interested in watching, seeing as it would be a significant time-and-monetary investment. On the other hand, an endurance run is something I've always wanted to do. I feel like there's a lot to be said (and a lot of run to be had) over the course of an Earthbound game, and Mother 3 would be perfect because it's less exposed than just straight-up Earthbound, and would be a fresher experience because of it.

    It would be perfect, but unless it is localized, it would NEVER be done.

    Honestly, I'd rather see them do something fairly recent, rather than something old. But that's just me.

      Alternatively, they could play Mother 2, but everyone here has probably beaten it already.

    I could definitely do with some Jeff and Vinny bawling their eyeballs out in Chapter Six. If y'all haven't played Mother 3 yet, you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

    Anything story-based and wacky would be good.
