OH MY PORK, INDEED: FANGAMER RELEASES FAN-CREATED MOTHER 3 GUIDEBOOK
Yesterday’s best surprise was waking up to an early delivery of Fangamer’s fresh-off-the-press all-fan-created guidebook to the unofficially localized version of Game Boy Advance RPG Mother 3.
A quick video preview:
As you can see, it’s a show of community ownership and franchise devotion that’s essentially unparalleled in games (apart from the Starmen community’s first outpouring of fan art, in an attempt to get Nintendo of America to give the game the stateside support it would never receive), and, of course, does double duty as an exhaustive guide to the game itself.
From the Pork Army dust jacket that reverses to a clay model character poster and similarly excellent design throughout, to the reams of character art illustrating each page, it’s a true collective work of love and an essential purchase for anyone curious as to what this Earthbound fuss is all about.
