Giygas and Pink Floyd?

February 3rd, 2012 | EarthBound, Uncommon Knowledge | 23 Comments

Over on deviantART, Akatsuman132 posted this interesting similarity of Giygas and the movie poster for “Pink Floyd – The Wall”: Given the sheer amount of Western pop culture references in MOTHER 2/EarthBound (reference 1, reference 2, reference 3) it doesn’t seem too farfetched. What do you guys think? Thanks to yp95 for the tip! ...Read More »

EarthBound Was Once $5.99

February 2nd, 2012 | EarthBound, Images, Merchandise | 18 Comments

New copies of EarthBound are now worth thousands of dollars apparently, but did you know the game used to be $5.99 new at Best Buy? It sounds like in the late 90s many stores were trying to unload the game for super-cheap prices. Little did anyone know… Anyway, in some recent comments, EarthBound Central reader west_haven posted this: I work at Best Buy and I’ve been meaning to look in our...Read More »

How Lucky Sandwiches Work

January 28th, 2012 | EarthBound, Hacking, Uncommon Knowledge | 15 Comments

Whenever I play EarthBound, I always avoid getting Lucky Sandwiches since they’re pretty meh and I don’t like gambling with limited inventory space. But I’ve never really known how these Lucky Sandwiches actually work – all I knew was that they have random effects. A few years ago some skilled hackers dug into the ROM and found out a bunch of technical stuff, including how ...Read More »

EarthBound Completed in 9 Minutes

January 26th, 2012 | EarthBound, Videos | 29 Comments

pirohiko has been constantly trying to improve the TAS record for EarthBound – this time we see the game being completed in 9 minutes and 1 second! I kinda want to see someone try this on a real console – it’d require an absolute ton of luck but I think it’d be awesome to see some crazy kid with a Power Glove on (or maybe someone wearing the MOTHER 2 jacket) pull off this ...Read More »

EarthBound Blanket

doctormoo on Reddit posted this cool custom EarthBound blanket a while back: Having the main characters is cool, but somehow those rows of Mr. Saturn makes it even better. I think it’d be nice to play EarthBound on a really cold day while wrapped in this for warmth ...Read More »

EarthBound Sells for $4700

January 24th, 2012 | Auctions, EarthBound | 45 Comments

Remember that brand new copy of EarthBound that was on eBay the other day? Well, it sold last night for $4700 I think this is the most a copy of EarthBound has ever gone for – just a few years ago we were amazed when a new copy sold for $1000, but now that almost seems… cheap. I checked, and $4700 means that you could either buy EarthBound or a retirement home: There’s a good...Read More »

EarthBound Zero Remake: Swamp

January 23rd, 2012 | EarthBound, Hacking, Images | 13 Comments

Good ol’ H.S has done it again with some awesome map hacking for the EarthBound Zero remake hack. This time H.S tackled the swamp part of the world, which you can see here: If you’ve never played the original game or if you don’t remember it clearly, the original swamp area is here for reference: This is one of those most grueling parts of the game, and it looks like it’l...Read More »
