Mother 3 fan translators: *Create their own software so they can translate the entire game from scratch.* *Offers to give the translated script to Nintendo for free.* *Patches the game so that there is continuity between English release recurring jokes from Earthbound that would be lost in the original Japanese text/copy of the game.* *Actually fix bugs that were present in the official Japanese release.*  *Releases a 200+ page full color fan made strategy guide on par with bradygames/prima guides.* *Asks people to purchase a physical copy if possible, and state they also do not condone piracy, as well as pushing for fans to purchase any Mother 3 merchandise after the game wasn’t being sold anymore.* *Before it was completed, stated that they will stop the English translation project as soon as Nintendo announces an English localization.*

Nintendo: *Bans people for even mentioning the fan translation on Miiverse* *Makes fun of people asking for an official release at E3*
