Weekly Round-Up #37

September 28th, 2009 | Weekly Round-Up

Another very busy week, so this weekly roundup comes a day late. And will be much shorter than usual. They might wind up being this way for a little while, actually.

So here’s a very brief look at what happened this past week:

EarthBound News

• Giygas stuff hacked into Smash Bros. Melee!
• Invasion of the Mr. Saturns!
• Pokey and other villains get together
• EarthBound-ish stuff from other stuff
• Really cool Mr. Saturn coffee remix
• EarthBound-themed Cat Mario/Syobon Action flash game
• Ultimate Chimera cosplay!
• MOTHER 2 commercials recreated in real life
• Handmade MOTHER mini dolls for sale

Cool Auctions & Merchandise

Here’s a quick look at interesting stuff on eBay this past week:

• Official MOTHER 2 Piano Book – rare and full of sheet music so you can play the music yourself, hurray!
• MOTHER 3 Deluxe Box and MOTHER 1+2 combo
• Original Trading Cards from Earthbound SNES Game
• SNES LOT EARTHBOUND, SECRET OF MANA, FF2 AND 3 + MORE
• Earthbound & Final Fantasy V & Secret of Mana SFC JP RPG Lot

And here’s some cool stuff on Yahoo! Auctions Japan:

• Set of rare MOTHER 1+2 keychains!
• Mr. Saturns everywhere!

And stuff on Amazon:

• Cheapest EarthBound on Amazon this week is $79.99, which isn’t too bad compared to other weeks

What’s Up With Itoi

• This week Itoi talked about how eyes don’t get to see our dreams, since dreams involve the optic nerve directly or something. He talked about this and compared it to other things.
• While Itoi’s famous actress wife was walking their famous dog in the park, some photographers came up and asked if they could photograph the dog for a photo book about dogs they’re putting together. She politely declined, though. They didn’t realize who she was or who the dog was though, which I thought was funny/neat. She’s on TV all the time and the dog even has its own popular book and merchandise

End

Well, that’s all for this past week. So busy so busy
