I think its amazing to have for legacy purposes. Why remake it when we can get what we should've gotten way back? Now we can have Mothe- No, we can stop calling it that shit. We can have EARTHBOUND references in any game or form of media without just referencing one game, or having the awkward informative that "this is Japan only". Like I said, this is the first step to having the possibility of a Mother 3 at all. They have to make the full thing officially local.
This translation was DONE almost 30 years ago guys, this is just the prototype US cart running on a virtual console. "Podunk", "Ninten"...? This took no effort to port to VC so I find no reason to be disappointed at all, no time was wasted, there's only positives to it. Unless they use the fan-translation and work some things out, Mother 3 has an absolutely ungodly amount of text to translate, so I'd assume it'd take way way more time. This can tie people over who aren't familiar with the origins of Earthbound though.
A remake would've been cool, but there's no need for that TBH.
So glad I can finally stop calling it "Mother" too :V
