Yayness, I finally got around to play the english version of Mother 3. Though I beat it within approximately a week when I really wanted the cozy playthrough to last for as long as possible ('twas during vacationish times 'n stuff). I'll probably put my hands on a japanese cartridge sooner or later as I'm not too comfortable with games combined with computers, really (and needs complete Battle Memory u_u).

Yeah. I must say that it was an overall rad and awesome game; a very Motheresque final battle as well. The ending was a bit "D:" though, considering the visual on-going occurrence in the game then, and that the results of it are left unspecified (though it leaves a mysterious use-your-imagination touch to it).
One thing that bugged me a tad though was that the Egg of Light had an entire chapter dedicated to it, but was ultimately forgotten and of little importance along the rest of the story (well, excluding the fellows' second search for it).
