One of my favourite games ever is Earthbound for the Super Nintendo. A few years ago I heard about a sequel coming out for the Gameboy Advance. I obsessively checked video game news sites until it was clear that it was not going to come out in America. Luckily, in the middle of October of this year, Mother 3 was translated by fans and a patch released for the GBA ROM.
I just finished playing and, man, it is awesome. It recreates the feel of the original and pushes it up a few notches and adds a whole bunch of unique stuff. I was very impressed and satisfied.
If you only play one GBA game this year, make it Mother 3!

I still haven't made it through all of Mother 3 yet (got distracted and haven't gotten back to it), but I totally agree that it's a great followup. I wish that Earthbound was out on the Wii Virtual Console already! (It's already been rated for the ESRB, which points towards it being an eventual release, but not yet...)
