A few days back I posted about new EarthBound plushes that’ll show up in Japanese arcades any time now (link). I happened to stumble upon the official press release PDF for it, and here it is: (download link) It’s not much, but it’s something to add to your digital collection if you’re into that sort of thing. Plus it also has some sharper images of the plushes which is ni...Read More »

Shigesato Itoi recently posted on his Twitter account something about the MOTHER series, and KingDarian quickly sent news about it my way. Here’s what Itoi said, translated into English: Here’s something for the MOTHER folks out there. The “Smiles and Tears” track on the “Keiichi Suzuki:Music for Films and Games/Original Soundtracks” album is sung using lyrics ...Read More »

A few months back, an EarthBound (for Super NES) prototype hit eBay. It sold for many hundreds of dollars, and was never seen again. Sam just messaged me and let me know that the cart is up for sale again by a fellow named DreamTR, for $1250. You can find more details here! I doubt there are any significant game changes in this prototype – at most, there might be things like the Runaway Fiv...Read More »

ModNation Racers is a game for the PS3 that came out just recently. It’s like a Mario Kart type of game, but one of its coolest features is that you can make customized characters – and the level of customization is really good. MightyYT and Tendablast have already made some really cool EarthBound-themed racers, here are some of them! #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gall...Read More »

Ever since the announcement a few months back that a bunch of new MOTHER series stuff would be hitting Japanese arcades starting in June, I’ve been anxiously checking Japanese sites almost daily. And now the first stuff has started to show up! The first two things to show up are plushes of captured Mr. Saturns from MOTHER 2/EarthBound that are 11 centimeters high and plushes of Master Belch!...Read More »

Jeff sent in a link the other day to an article about crows that steal stuff and carry cigarettes in their mouths, much like our good ol’ friend Smokey the Crow: Next time pinch a lighter too! Crows caught taking a crafty cigarette break on holiday island Here’s one of the pics: I guess the one good thing is that they don’t know how to light them ...Read More »

Good ol’ Omnomnominous sent this in a little while back: Hey I was just reading ‘NGamer’ magazine and found this. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Nice to see that there are UK fans wishing the MOTHER series would make it onto VC/DS. Apologies for the poor quality, since I used a camera rather than a scanner. It’s still perfectly readable, though. It’s starting ...Read More »

Assorted Astrology-Related Names sent this in. It’s a 2006 review of MOTHER 3 by Hyper magazine, a gaming mag in Australia. That’s a pretty high score they gave it, and it wasn’t even in English I love seeing old reviews/previews like this, so if you’ve come across any that haven’t been featured on the site yet, share your knowledge! ...Read More »

Part 2 of this! Awesomely awesome Chewy managed to get ahold of the EarthBound 64 staff member, but she’s not sure what to ask him now. So let’s come up with some questions! Remember, the guy only did the monster designs for EarthBound 64, and even that was a long time ago, so it’s best to keep questions in that area. Quick disclaimer: there’s still a chance he might not wa...Read More »
