New Mother 3 Screenshot leaked

A new Mother 3 screenshot has been leaked a day before the game's official release!



If you want to know who leaked it, the clue is in the favorite food the player picked. Study the screenshot carefully!

THAT'S RIGHT WHO WANTS TO FUCKING TOUCH ME

Admittedly I haven't gotten all that far with it since it's in a language I don't understand. I can report that the music is very good, though. The game is technologically more advanced than Mother 2, the characters have four frames of animation in their walk cycles rather than 2! Oh and you can run now. You even have a run attack, which I used to [spoiler] punch a dinosaur [end spoiler].

Presentationally and control-wise it is quite a jump from Mother 2, even though you can't tell from the screenshots. It's something akin to the refinement you notice when you compare the old Gameboy Pokemon games to the GBA versions. Really I can't report all that much, since I only played the first 10 minutes before I decided I didn't want to spoil it for myself. First impressions are great though.

I would never have guessed when I woke up this morning was that I would be playing Mother 3 that very night! It felt like all my birthdays and Christmasses had come at once! Well, for about a minute.

I'm sure someone is probably working on a fan translation at this very moment, so it shouldn't be too long a wait to play the game properly. Enough time for me to play through Mother 1, anyway, which I can finally do since I worked out how to do fast-forward on my NES emulator.
