Mother 3, a game that has been exclusive to Japan for nearly two decades, has left fans around the world eagerly awaiting an official release from Nintendo. Despite clear international demand, the company has yet to provide a solid reason for withholding the game from other regions.

While Mother 3 was recently made available on Nintendo Switch Online, this addition was limited to Japan, along with the release of new plush toys to celebrate the occasion. Although the plush collection is intended for the Japanese market, international shipping is available for fans in the US to purchase these items. The cost for the quartet of Mother 3 plush toys is 11,000 yen (about $71), which seems reasonable for the quality offered. However, potential buyers should consider the likelihood of significantly increased final prices due to international shipping fees, serving as a somewhat bittersweet reminder of the game’s inaccessibility beyond Japan’s borders.
