Hey, FacePalmParadox here.
I really love this game, it's so unique in its charm.
I only can hope to push this along in Pewds' way.
What can I do now though, is put my best shot.
First off, here's the basic info:
-------------------
MOTHER 3 is a Japanese RPG note starring an adolescent Heroic Mime Farm Boy from a Doomed Hometown and his dog, who join forces with a Lovable Rogue and a Tomboy Princess Black Magician Girl to fight a World-Conquering Evil Overlord and his Army of Brainwashed soldiers in a race to trigger the Seven Cosmic Keystones and Seal Away an Ultimate Evil which will bring about The End of the World as We Know It.
Wait — strike that.
MOTHER 3 is a game about humankind's corruption of the natural world, the alienating effects of modern life on communities and families, the ethical treatment of animals, the folly of living vicariously in one's past, and brotherly love and rivalry.
MOTHER 3 is also the third (and apparently final) entry in Shigesato Itoi's MOTHER / EarthBound franchise; it continues the tradition of weird and quirky writing and gameplay which features deft employment of Mood Whiplash. Like prior games, MOTHER 3 centers on a young boy with psychic powers and his friends — but in this game, the time and setting are vastly different, and the threat to humanity is much more earthly than it was long ago.
Unlike its two predecessors, MOTHER 3 shifts focus several times between the main protagonist, his family, and the people (and sometimes animals!) who will become his allies — and true to its slogan, its story is regarded as the darkest (and most emotional) of the three games while retaining all of the silly charm which endeared its fans to begin with.

And secondly, the footage:
------------------
And finally, where to get it:
Well, here's the thing:
Nintendo never released the game outside of Japan, so no import here
And they're still holding it back due to copyright issues.
(Not a new case with the MOTHER series, since Mother 2 was the only one released in America as Earthbound, which makes Mother/Earthbound Zero, and Mother 3/Earthbound 2)
So you'll have to use a GBA 2006 emulator for the ROM (no link yet, because I dunno if illegal).
So.
How do we get the English part?
Well, in case you didn't watch the intro, there's a fan translation of Mother 3, the fans themselves worked on for years since Nintendo's denial of the importing.
It is as every-bit like the Japanese one: Heartrending, Funny and Fascinating.

And Number 4... I hope Pewds enjoys this game as much as I do.
