So I was telling Marcello about this on the weekend. There is currently a fan translation for the game Mother 3, the long awaited sequel to, get this, Mother 2. For those who aren't big fans of the series, you'd know it better as Earthbound (a much better name). Anyways, since Nintendo poured money into the Earthbound advert campaign and America sent them a big "we don't give a fuck about boys in hats" response, they have decided that they will never share the Earthbound goodness with us again. But, happily some hackers have taken it upon themselves to translate the japanese game so yay. Here is their site:

To get the actual ROM, which you need to play the game, here is my new favorite ROM site, DGEmu:

The downside is that you have to register and have a limited amount you can DL in a given day. The upside is that this site's selection of games is unrivaled by anything I have ever seen. So I suggest going and getting the Japanese Mother 3 ROM, and while you are at it, grab the Earthbound ROM and see what all the/my fuss is about.
