Good afternoon, people. (It's 12:00 pm in here.)
My name is John Enigma. I'm a casual gamer from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I started playing games when my bio dad introduced me to my first video game console ever: the Nintendo GameBoy plus the game Tetrix DX. (After that, the rest is history.)
The reason I started an account here, is because for some reason I enjoy playing ROM hacks, wether it be a translation, an uncensoring motive, or an improvement. I somehow liked this because I was playing for the first time a ROM hack called MaternalBound Omega by ShadowOne333 (from Starmen.net). It's a patch that basically uncensores everything in EarthBound to a point of view between S. Itoi (the series creator), and Mato (the series unofficial translator). That and the Mother 25th Anniversary Edition by DragonDePlatino (also from Starmen.net, and here).
There is one hack that I seem to be interested in seen one day, though. Someday, I wanna see someone do a complete port of the patches that I mentioned above, (Mother 25th & MaternalBound) but for the GBA game Mother 1+2. I took noticed, because many people said that this compilation was horrible compared to their NES/Super NES counterparts. Their music and sounds got butchered down (especially Mother 2), the colors have been brightened (this was done during the time the first GameBoy Advance came out), some other things have been changed (like changing the order of the PSI's and character slots in Mother 1, fixing some bug/glitch exploits in both games, etc.), and finally censoring everything, despite the fact that this game was never released in Japan (although, this was done because Japan created their own game age rating system {CERO}, a year before the release of Mother 1+2; this was also done, to appeal children to play the two games for the first time).
So, like I said before, I've yet to see someone make ports of the two patches that I mentioned earlier. And at a good timing as well. The legendary Jeffman said that he is making, what appears to be, a VWF version of a translation of Mother 1+2. This was never done before, and Mato didn't wanted to do it because is too much work. I see that now. If I see that this project is done someday, and that this soon-to-be-made patch is united with Mato's Mother 1 (GBA) translation, I will wait to see if someone will make a direct port of DragonDePlatino's Mother 25th Anniversary Edition (NES) & ShadowOne333's MaternalBound Omega (Super NES) but for Mother 1+2 (GBA).
That is all.
Any comments?
