I'm part-way through Mother as well, it's slow progress because uh...I wasn't aware Ninten was asthmatic and then he had an asthma attack and died after a long time of being unsaved :B Darn, my team members are a nerd who runs from bullies and an asthmatic who starts wheezing and sputtering near car fumes. It's like the game is MOCKING my childhood xDD

I've played through Mother 3 with a translation guide and I can say confidently that you're in for a huge treat <3 It's a brilliant game, and I'm watching the translation project religiously, with every intent of doing a screencap playthrough once the patch is up for download.
