The new MOTHER figures have started to come out, and coming soon will be the MOTHER 2 ones. Banpresto recently posted a press release thing that includes a pic of some of the as-of-yet-unreleased figures: You can grab a copy of the press release PDF here. It’s in Japanese and not especially interesting, but check it out if you’re a download maniac like me ...Read More »

A long while back I posted about the rare and mostly-unknown official Slot Bros. board game/dice game/card game, but at the time no one at the site had ever owned a copy, so the details were very sketchy. Then, many months ago, the ever-awesome neonix won one and scanned it all at very good quality for the rest of us to see! I sat on the update for a while because I wanted to translate the rules&...Read More »

If you don’t remember, a whoooole bunch of MOTHER and MOTHER 2 figures are planned to be released in Japan slowly over the next seven months. They’re only available via those crane games in Japanese arcades, though. For more details about that, see my old news post here. Anyway, the first batch of figures, the MOTHER 1 figures, were scheduled to be released in the late August – a...Read More »

Just a very simple poll today – whenever you play EarthBound, do you play using an actual Super NES cartridge or do you play it on an emulator? I was wondering about this earlier, I’m curious to see what the results are. Also, if you play it on an emulator, what emulator do you use? Click here to vote! ...Read More »

An old lady in Twoson will usually comment on how Ness and Paula make a good couple… but what happens if you only have Jeff in your party? Fanfic writer squad, activate! I think a lot of people know about this little oversight already – you can get it to happen after Paula gets kidnapped in the Fourside department store – but I like to document little things like this on the sit...Read More »

In MOTHER 3 are some mice living in an attic who speak very strangely. If you’ve played the game, you’ve probably talked to them and said, “What????” If you haven’t seen them yet, here they are: Originally, these mice spoke in an incredibly difficult-to-understand dialect of Japanese, I think it was a Nagasaki dialect but I can’t remember off the top of my head...Read More »

For the MOTHER 3 fan translation, Jeff and I added a couple new secrets and new features to the game. One of these is the inclusion of a “hard mode”. You could normally learn about its existence by fulfilling some other special requirements, but since it’s been almost two year since the patch’s release, it’s probably okay to spill the beans by now… besides, most...Read More »

This is something most people probably know, but just for those who don’t, the cover of the MOTHER 3 Handbook is based off of the U.S. Army survival manuals: It’s obvious Jonk put a ton of work into designing the handbook, even down to the cover. Incidentally, I recommend checking out both books, they’re both filled to the brim with interesting info! ...Read More »

EelSlimeTime on the MOTHER 3 GameFAQs posted about a neat little bug in MOTHER 3 I never heard about anywhere before, so I made a video of it: Basically, go to Tanetane Island and get one of those fevers you get before learning a PSI technique. Go into the sludge pit and Boney won’t join you. Walk around until the fever goes away, then go into the PSI menu and then exit back out. Lucas will...Read More »
