How it feels

A refined EarthBound re-localization that smooths the script and restores Japanese nuance for RPG enthusiasts.

About

Mother 2: Perfect Edition borrows a handful of stuff from ShadowOne333’s very popular MaternalBound hack, but with great help from Tomato’s Legend of Localization website, this uncensored re-localization brings to you a more smoothed out and refined script than the MaternalBound one, and gets as close as possible to the original Japanese script without sacrificing flow or alienating American players by keeping in references that don’t make sense outside of Japan, as well as many graphical changes to make the game even more in line with its Japanese original. Leaving personal taste out of the equation, this hack was created with the mindset of a professional editor, and with the hope that anyone, whether you’ve never played before or you’ve played dozens of times, can patch their ROM and feel comfortable knowing that they’re getting a definitive MOTHER 2 experience, just in English.
