[Stream VOD] MOTHER 3 Translation Comparison: Live Translation Notes

In June 2014, Jeff and I decided to release a new version of the MOTHER 3 fan translation patch, but we needed to test it before releasing it. On a whim, I streamed my test playthrough of the game, and while doing so I shared translation notes, translation project memories, little-known trivia, and more. I even had guests on, including fellow project members – even the head localizer for EarthBound stopped by in the chat a few times!

In all, it was a fun and productive endeavor! I’ve archived the videos on YouTube here:

I actually stream more frequently now, so if you’d like to keep up with my live translations of Japanese games or my translation notes for other games, you can follow me on YouTube here and on Twitch here.

My Legends of Localization notes for MOTHER 3 will probably be remain unfinished, but maybe something’ll happen someday to pull me back. I’d absolutely love to look at an official translation of the game someday, for example. But the chances of that don’t seem high after all this time.
