Mother 3 fans are getting everything but the actual GBA game with Super Smash Bros. Brawl -- Franklin Badges, Lucas as a playable character, and now, New Pork City, one of several memorable locations from the Earthbound sequel. The massive arena is one of the game's largest, putting to rest worries that the game wouldn't have any Hyrule-Temple-sized battlegrounds.
New Pork City boasts among its attractions a swinging boat and a stage-specific menace. Before you preview the screenshots at the Dojo, be warned that there are some Mother 3 spoilers scattered around the images. You can also watch a 2D tour of the metropolis after the post break.

You see, Nintendo of America? You see how many lives you have disgraced with your filthy unshenanigans?!!!!
Okay, carry on.

Ugh, soo good. This will probably be one of my favorite stages. I'm also really like the Metal Gear stage..

Really? I find that odd considering Mother 3 came out in 2006.

Yeah, Mother 3 was a GBA game
But, while i recognize the purpose of having at least 1 incredibly large stage, i didn't like Temple, it was a bitch for Stock matches, determined battlers would take forever to go down
But the Chimaera will make it a bit easier, 1 hit KOs and a rubber ducky on its forehead

Not getting Mother 3 localized back in the SNES days was like being kicked in the nuts. Every time they announce a new Mother 3-related SSBB feature, it's like they've noticed that we got kicked int he nuts, so they decided to stomp on our exposed testes while we're rolling around on the ground moaning. Thanks for another ball-stomping, Nintendo.
P.S.: Can you tell that I want to see Mother 3 on the VC?

I'm actually wondering if this means that we might actually start getting some more Mother games. Remember, we never had even a single Fire Emblem game until Fire Emblem characters showed up in a Smash Bros game.
I'm still pessimistic about it actually happening, mind you, but my fingers are crossed...

This will not be the Hyrule-like stage that we have been praying for. It's too easy to fall down and die. That never happened on Hyrule.

I might have been excited about this update if Nintendo had let me play the game this came from.
If Lucas replaces Ness - Ness hasn't been confirmed as a playable character yet, has he? - I will probably be a little mad. Especially if Mother 3 does not get ported after all this, but then I would go find a fan translation, and life continues.

Oh god, I thought I was the only person in the world that remembered that old Pace Picante Sauce commercial. "NEW YORK CITY?! GET A ROPE."
I love you guys.
