Earthbound 3 would be MOTHER 4. Which is being made, but they’re just calling it MOTHER 4. Also, that Magazine phailed.

I remember back in the late 90′s I wrote an angry letter to Game Informer, accusing them of tricking naive parents (like my mom) into subscribing to their magazine, which I deemed more “biased” than IGN. Some editor wrote me back a fairly large email defending the publication and made me feel incredibly ashamed.

But now, reading this, all of the reasons I wrote that bratty email come rushing back to me. Game Informer appeared to have an acidic disdain for Nintendo and the N64 particularly which bled into many of their articles.

Aren’t you saying GameStop: the Magazine isn’t a publication with thorough fact-chacking?

I’d like to think if Mother 1+2 and/or Mother 3 were released outside of Japan, Nintendo would have fixed the numbering, but that’s just a sad pipe dream.

The artical is pretty interesting, though not very well done. Though I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a whole lot to talk about that hasn’t been said before.

*SPOILERS*
Perhaps ‘Pig King’ meant a chapter where you found out how Claus joined the Pigmask Army. After all, he is the second-most powerful member of the army.

I agree with PK Saturn here; I don’t think it’s saying that Pig King is a playable character. Though I do kind of like the surreality of listing “Pig King” as a “special feature” of the game, which: what?

I think “Pig King” was meant as one of the special features, not playable characters because it is separated from Dog by a semicolon, which was how the special features were listed

Yeah, I’m thinking they made that up too. In all the stuff I’ve ever read, that’s never come up until this, and this doesn’t strike me as a well-researched, hard-hitting report.
