Why Hasn't MOTHER 3 Been Localized? | Addressing Problematic Content

Описание: Hey, everyone! For a final in one of my classes, I decided to create a video discussing the potential reasons why Nintendo hasn't localized MOTHER 3. In this video, I go over the rumor that controversial content is holding MOTHER 3 back and give my own take. I know there's more potentially problematic content in the game, but I feel I hit the big three here.

Let me know what you think in the comments! I would be more than happy to keep the discussion going.

Here's the link to contact Samaritans. PLEASE seek help if you need it.
