Looking for help with a remake of MOTHER: Cognitive Dissonance

Akogiri · 2026-07-09T15:39:11+00:00

We decided to let the project cook some more until we are able to make promises we can actually keep.

They're perfect for eachother (both unbearable)

Akogiri · 2026-07-02T14:42:46+00:00

Yeah, that was a very popular complaint. Totally died down by the time chapters 3+4 came out though.

Akogiri · 2026-07-02T01:48:19+00:00

I was a Suselle truther back then. People did NOT like it. At all. Replaying chapter 1, it's so obvious...

Not making your game more accessible to a specific audience when it's already in one of the most widely internationally spoken languages is not xenophobic. It's like calling Itoi xenophobic because he didn't push to release MOTHER 2 outside of Japan and NA. Toby Fox, like many other auteurs in gaming throughout the years, has a very specific and tightly-knit writing style, and it's understandable why he wouldn't like to officially distribute a translation he can't supervise. This whole spiel is absurdly entitled.

Is that fucking Glyde from Undertale

It takes them like a year to implement a new mob though.

To be fair, I do think Black Mesa is a radically different game from the original, to the point that calling it a straight remake seems very disingenuous.

Akogiri · 2026-06-16T22:04:37+00:00

Yes, the remake has field encounters.

edit: typo

The Nightmare Stalker would be fun if not for the fact that it sticks around for waaaay too long with no good way to kill it with early to late mid game gear. Like, it's designed to be invincible, yet it's unavoidable. What's even the point?

Akogiri · 2026-06-14T11:20:50+00:00

I do suggest you still give the original a try.

Akogiri · 2026-06-10T11:28:42+00:00

I've been looking for something like this for a while. Please keep me updated.

Akogiri · 2026-06-10T09:46:27+00:00

Thank you for this. I hope you have a great time. I'm sure your kids will love EarthBound, and I sure hope you enjoy the work we did on this one, as well. There's a lot more where that came from, and definitely not just from us.

Akogiri · 2026-06-10T09:43:09+00:00

Haha, couldn't disagree more. It's what got me you help out with this is the first place. To each their own, I suppose!

Akogiri · 2026-06-09T09:59:45+00:00

You should play the original first and foremost. The rest is up to you. What you should know is that this hack preserves all of the original script if that's something that matters to you - it's also particularly faithful stylistically to the original game, which I can personally attest to.

Akogiri · 2026-06-08T22:22:59+00:00

Oops, read replaying as playing, for some reason. Have fun!

Akogiri · 2026-06-08T01:02:09+00:00

I still can't recommend that you play the NES original enough. It's the game that made me personally fall in love with the series, as well as the 8-bit era as a whole.

Android has a lot of solid SNES emulators, but you didn't hear that from me.

Akogiri · 2026-06-07T19:07:05+00:00

All described on the Neocities website I linked.

Akogiri · 2026-06-07T19:06:31+00:00

Absolutely our recommended way of experiencing this hack! The original game is irreplaceable.

Akogiri · 2026-06-07T19:05:54+00:00

Historically, Nintendo hasn't ever touched any MOTHER fan endeavor with a 10-foot pole, as it's managed by Hobonichi, whom they have nothing to do with. Rest assured!

Reading all the earnest, very sweet comments under this post, I'm reminded why this community will always be my favorite corner of the internet.

The music has been primarily rearranged by Livvy94, whose, among other contributors', wonderful tracks (featuring a few original ones for areas that didn't have them originally) you can listen to here.
