How did western people react to getting spoiled on Mother 3's final boss before being able to play it?
>>12757961told my mom I was gay and she said she knew
>>12757961we already knew about it because it was covered on all the earthbound fansites and the translation patch only came out a few months later
>>12757961It was pretty fucking obvious anyway who was behind the pigmask anyway, Fassad is a bigger twist
It's not supposed to be a secret, just like it's not a secret that Claus is the Masked Man.
>>12757985Masked Man yes but I honestly didn't know who the King P could be until very late into the game.Was there even any clue before New Pork City?I seem to remember I realizing it was him when I saw one of the robots modeled after his mom, but before that I'm not sure.I managed to avoid all spoilers, and played Mother 3 in 2009. Only played Brawl afterward.
>>12758000The fucking yoyoThe fucking pig motif
>>12757961Didn't care. Didn't come out in the west; it doesn't exist.
>>12758002Ah yeah, the friend's yo-yo, now I remember.The pig motif is vague though, I just wasn't expecting a returning character and imagined King P would be an OC guy.When Dr. Andonuts also appears is also another clue that Mother 3 characters could return
>>12758013Mother 2*
caring about spoilers is a zoomie thing
>implying Japanese fans weren't also pissed by it being spoiled
game sucked anyway so it was just eye rolling
>>12757961>defeatedWas he? The capsule made him invincible and so he probably survived the island's destruction
>>12758083Yes, he got beaten up so bad that he retreated into a capsule that would ensure he would never die or be able to affect the world in any way ever again, even after the end of the world.
>>12757961Only based character in the series
>>127579611) nobody played earthbound or mother2) spoilers arent real3) even in the most generous sense, final boss identities are not spoilers, as long as they arent twists (like betrayal of a character that had seemed friendly up until then).
>>12759135What a useless post.
>>12757961Little kids are too stupid to be vulnerable to harm from spoilers, and the few of them who grow into manchildren who'd care about Mother 3 tend to get excited about any tidbit they can learn about an upcoming thing they're hyped for. So spoiling this was surely almost harmless, despite how bad an idea it was.

>>12757961There was such a long gap between seeing this trophies and me finally playing through mother 3 that I'd forgotton all about it, I don't think there was a "reaction" to it being spoiled, I've literally never seen it brought up and I'm relatively tuned in to the earthbound fandom.
>>12760090The Mother fandom of the 2000s was wildly different from the 2010s and 2020s fandom
>>12760106I'll have to take your word, I wasn't paying that much attention to it back then.
>>12757961>How did western people reactThey don't care unless gay
>namefag thinks his projection isn't obvious
Holding out for a Mother 3 translation was considered retarded even in 2008. Anyone who wanted to play the game and wasn't a retard already played the fan translation on VBA.
>>12761339Didn't Brawl came out a bit earlier than the fan translation?
>>12761352Yes. Nintendo leaving Hinawa’s name as Hinawa was what inspired them to not rename her.
>>12761339I played it in jap and the fan version and still would like to see an official English version. If its really the music that's preventing it, Nintendo should just do a trilogy pack with english options for all three games, but only officially sell it in Japan.
it was such an odd choice to put those resources into porky as a boss and also render him in the CG scenes. It was like a middle finger to the west as well.then in the next game they couldn't even be bothered to put Lucas in without DLC
>>12762649Not really, Mother 3 was still new at the time, and they needed bosses for the Subspace Emissary
>>12762724This, Smash Bros was always a "buy our newest games look at the references from our newest games" franchise.The only exception filled with soul is the selection of trophies for Melee, instead of being "AAA WE RIPPED THIS 3D MODEL FROM THE LATEST WII/GAMECUBE GAME LOOK BUY THAT GAME" like Brawl and 4, it's "Here are both fan favorite and obscure characters from past games now in never seen before 3d made from scratch"Melee trophies are so fucking soul because you know they are not an advertising for 3D hot rally, they just put the car there out of soul
>>12762762Forgot pic, also at least Porky and all the Mother 3 stuff in Brawl is from a GBA game so I can give them credit for making them from scratch too. No reason to complain about it, motherfags got it good in brawl
>>12762769My only disappointment as a Motherfag with Smash, is a lack of combat themes.
You DID get this trophy legit. Right, /vr/?
