Talk:Mother 3

Source issue
Hi, I noticed that Brownie Brown being the developer overseen by Itoi is not covered by the attached citation. I was gonna find an alternate source, but I couldn't find a source that specifically framed it like this. Is there maybe a source misplaced? - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 22:33, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

"Darker" plot elements in the Nintendo 64 version
I've edited the "Design" section some time ago to replace "Itoi's Nintendo 64 version of the ending was darker" by "Itoi's Nintendo 64 version of the scenario was darker", based on this excerpt from the (translated) source: - Before we get into the last battle, let's touch on the scenario... During the N64 version, it's been said that you had written the scenario while you were overseas. Itoi: I went to Saipan and wrote it. I was really happy when I finished it. - How is that compared to the scenario of the Gameboy Advance version? Itoi: The summary has not changed. But, it has become a lot lighter. The scenario in the N64 version was much, much darker. Compared to how things are now, I think when I wrote the script 10 years ago, as far as dark aspects and sad aspects, I wasn't presented with as many confrontations. I didn't have many options to choose for the game back then, either. And so, I thought I would dig in the direction that would upset people. So the scenario in the N64 version was dirtier than this one. However, the article has since been edited again under the reasoning that "In the cited interview, Itoi is talking about the final battle, not Hinawa's death scene". Perhaps the original Japanese source conveys a different meaning than the translation I'm basing my judgment upon, but I feel that Itoi is actually talking about the whole storyline of the N64 version of the game, and not a specific plot point (which he goes into later in the quoted interview).
