The book itself contains over 400 pages of side-by-side shots of both games showing not only the reasons behind text changes, but color and even sprite changes. The author explores just about every localization difference and decision made by the translators. If you've always wanted to play through Mother 2, but could never find the confidence in your Japanese to do so, this is literally a guidebook through that process. If you don't mind spending a few extra dollars you also get the Passport to Mother 2 which contains beginners guide to Japanese, as well as all of the important terms used throughout the game. He breaks down and explains the original language and uses the game to help teach you some Japanese on the way. Legends of Localization offers an in-depth comparison of the original Japanese text of the Japanese SNES game Mother 2 and the English version, called Earthbound. Last year Clyde published his first book, Legends of Localization Book 1: The Legend of Zelda (and we loved it) and now, Book 2: Earthbound, is finally out.
