Some Ness Lookalikes

Why such a downgrade on the NES sprites? The NES could handle far more than that little thing.

Wow! That’s pretty similar.. and cool looking! Why on Earth would NOA change his graphics to look like Pitfall Harry?

..whoa. I think I just showed my age with that reference.

Isn’t A Boy and His Blob an American game? I thought the American version of the game was the original.

I agree that the boy’s sprite in the American version isn’t particularly great looking, but it does seem to fit the game’s graphic style much better than does that of the Japanese version, which looks far more “cartoony” than anything else in the game.

Yeah, you’re right, it was changed for Japan it seems.

I did found a Ness look-a-like in a cartoon-looking RPG on the SNES. I mentioned it somewhere on the SM.net forums…
Sadly, I’m never able to remember the name of this game (it’s some long sentence in Japanese). It’s very cute and seems like tons of fun too. It’s about some kindergarten kid living in a suburban town and some spirit assist her in something. The Ness look-a-like is classmate.

Ness look a like
or Earthbound look alike
because i catch Loid on power puff girls z
episode named “Ken’s friend indeed”

@ Carl

A Boy And His Blob was created by David Crane, creator of Pitfall, so were – nevermind I forget where I was going with that.

Anyone remember Ozzie Boy?

But seriously, this game is INCREDIBLY annoying. It’s so easy to die. Don’t ask why I’ve played this game, because I forget. All I really remember in detail is that the music loops over and over again, which on top of the dying is what makes it awful (imo).

A Boy and His Blob has some serious issues. It’s artificially hard in the way that a lot of old NES games were, presenting the player with obstacles but not even the slightest hint as to how to progress past them. It’s practically impossible to beat that kind of game without using a walkthrough.

But, A Boy and His Blob does have very interesting, unique play mechanics. There’s the potential to create a great game by coupling sensible level designs with the basic mechanics of the original. That’s why I’m looking forward to the new Wii version so much.

The hat is even pointing the same way.

David Crane made it? Cool.
No wonder it looks like Pitfall Harry..
Thanks LordKarnov42 for the great trivia!

The Power Glove has another connection to MOTHER; in the film “The Wizard”, a gamer who uses the Power Glove is a kid named Lucas.

Power gloves FTW.

Can’t remember any Ness look-a-likes. But I somehow feel like I’ve seen someone similar to him sometime in the past…

The one that sticks out most in my minde is the kid from Pokemon Red/Blue. Not the artwork, but the in-game kid. I’m surprised he wasn’t mentioned. The face of Boy With Blob looks strikingly like Ness though.

minde? I’m going to sleep.

Well when you think about it Ness IS sorta’ generic.

You lie!

There’s a creature that reminds me of Mr. Saturn in Denno Coil

TBird, what a charming Political-Culture reference.

Well, I guess when you could wear hats sideways without being thought about being a gang member, they really took advantage of it 15-25 years ago.

Hmm, i just noticed something. The look-a-like in aBaHB doesn’t appear to be wearing any pants.

The powerglove – “It’s SO bad.”
and indeed; ’twas an honest advertising campaign.

@The Great Morgil: I noticed too, but didn’t know how to say it without feeling weird. And I don’t know why they would do that, because the American version is wearing jeans or something. o_0

@Millhouse:

@Ice Sage: They’re just spandex flesh colored tights. It’s for maximum mobility. It just looks like he’s wearing nothing at all.

“TBird, what a charming Political-Culture reference.”

You broke my sarcasm detector.

Ness truly is a generic kid look alike.

there will be a kid and his blob for wii and one for DS
in the Wii version the kid resembles to Claus with brown hair
while the DS version resembles to Lucas mixed with Ness

What about Mark from Monster Party? He has a hat and a baseball bat is his main weapon!

The wiiware version of Boy has silmilar Eyes to earthBound characters,and he has a Striped shirt,and shorts too.
And was’nt the DS version of Boy & His blob cancelled?

i didn’t notice the word cancelled lol
BTW
If someones watches Foster home
There is a Kid that Looks
EXACTLY! like Lucas
the same striped shirt,hair color & Style
and the claus Aptitude, the same aptitude
the shoes aren’t the same
the episode tittle is “Neighbor Pains”
if someone can watch it will find the lookalike

Hey, do you all know that game, A Boy and his blob? I think the Boy looks a lot like Ness(yes, i do). XDD

Billy from the Grim adventures of billy and mandy look somewhat like ness by the clothes he wears but hair color and attitude are nothing alike

I saw this lookalike in the grocery store on a pack of Dubble Bubble…
