After nearly 2 years worth of work, the Starmen.net team has finally released v1.0 of their english patch for the japanese game Mother 3.
Quoted from the site:
Mother 3 is the sequel to EarthBound (an epic Super Nintendo RPG released in 1995) which was in development for 12 years before it was released in Japan in April 2006.
It soon became clear that Nintendo of America was uninterested in localizing the game, so in November 2006 the fans took matters into their own hands with the Do it Yourself Devotion project.
For two years a team of translators and hackers worked to produce an in-depth, professional translation and localization of MOTHER 3. In August 2007 the team began blogging about their progress, attracting the attention of the gaming industry, media, and more than half a million unique visitors.
On October 17, 2008, version 1.0 of the fan translation was released.
Crazy times.

Sorry, I'm just reeeeally excited about this since I've been watching their progress for a couple months.
