If you like Japanese RPGs, there are some downsides to living in North America. Probably the most well-documented problem is the fact that North American publishers just can't seem to bring themselves to bring every single JRPG over. Quite unfortunate for obsessive compulsive collectors like myself.Well, if you were interested in either Atlus' PlayStation RPG, Persona 2: Innocent Sin (the prequel to the released Persona 2: Eternal Punishment) or Nintendo's GBA follow-up to Earthbound, Mother 3, then it might interest you to know that fan translation projects for both games have recently finished.
In order to take advantage of these brand-spankin' new patches, you'll have to be computer-savvy enough to download the patch and the notROM, find a compatible notEmulator, and play them on your notComputer. However, I suspect you are all very capable if you can find my insignificant blog. ;)
The Mother 3 fan translation can be found here courtesy of translator Tomato and Fobby.net
The Persona 2: Innocent Sin translation can be found here courtest of blogger/translator Gemini.
This is why the internet is awesome.
