Prof. Sakamoto MOTHER Medley

January 13th, 2012 | Audio Stuff, MOTHER 1, Videos | 8 Comments

I can’t remember if I’ve posted about this or not before, but just in case I haven’t, check out this great piano medley by the famous Prof. Sakamoto: What’s cool about this is that he’s become famous enough in Japan that he’s even done stuff with Shigesato Itoi’s company. Here’s a page about a live recital he did for Itoi’s site and here’...Read More »

MOTHER Reviewed by Pokemon Creator

January 12th, 2012 | MOTHER 1 | 11 Comments

Ultra translator Chewy has come through again – this time she’s translated a review of MOTHER 1 by Satoshi Tajiri, who went on to create Pokemon in the 90s. This review actually predates Pokemon, so I wonder how much influence MOTHER 1 (and maybe MOTHER 2) had on his inspiration for Pokemon’s game design. At any rate, it’s a long and interesting read – I like how he d...Read More »

Local Band Covers MOTHER Tunes

December 31st, 2011 | Audio Stuff, MOTHER 1 | 11 Comments

Evan sent this in the other day: Greetings, Mato! A local band a few towns over from me called Lost Woods just released their debut EP. They do rock covers of video game tunes, and I’ve been following them for a while. I suggested they cover some EarthBound tunes, and as luck would have it, they covered Snowman and Mother Earth from the MOTHER series, and they’re awesome! One can down...Read More »

Custom MOTHER Bag

December 30th, 2011 | Images, Merchandise, MOTHER 1 | 15 Comments

A few weeks ago LucasTizma was telling me about some vector graphics he was working on for some sort of MOTHER-related project. I just recently found out what it was: For Christmas, I had some custom MOTHER items hand crafted for me. I got a sweet messenger bag, a MacBook Air sleeve, and an iPad sleeve. I think it turned out really well! The guy did a great job with the embroidery. Anyway, just wa...Read More »

Master Chicken recently sent me news about an album of MOTHER remixes he put together, called “The EB EP”. It’s full of electric guitar goodness, here are some sample tracks for your listening pleasure: Log-O-Type: Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

MOTHER Series in Spanish NGamer

December 9th, 2011 | EarthBound, Images, MOTHER 1, MOTHER 3 | 10 Comments

Visitante sent in these scans from a Spanish-language version of NGamer. It looks like it’s an article about the history of the MOTHER series. I don’t have a translation handy (used to know Spanish but it got pushed out when I learned Japanese, doh) so hopefully some language-knowers here can help translate. It seems like EarthBound stuff is in NGamer magazines a lot: EarthBound in ...Read More »

EarthBound/MOTHER Let’s Plays

November 26th, 2011 | EarthBound, MOTHER 1, MOTHER 3 | 44 Comments

A few years ago the “Let’s Play” thing suddenly took off, and everywhere you look it seems like there’s a million Let’s Plays of every game imaginable. I often get asked to recommend some good EarthBound/MOTHER series Let’s Plays, but I’m sort of out of the loop when it comes to them, so I turn that question to you, loyal readers: What are some good EarthB...Read More »

If you’re an EarthBound/MOTHER fan, most likely you’ve come across something PsiPaula4 has made, whether you’ve known it or not. One creation of hers is a comic called “Mother 2 and a Half” that’s meant to explain some theories on how the first two games connect. If you’re one of those theory-followers, you’ll probably like it You can start from Ch...Read More »

More EB Zero Remake Maps

November 18th, 2011 | EarthBound, Hacking, Images, MOTHER 1 | 16 Comments

Awesome EarthBound Hacker H.S posted some new maps for the EarthBound Zero remake hack a while ago. Here they are! Thanksgiving / Merrysville: Halloween / Spookane: Holy Loly Mountain / Mt. Itoi: As I’ve said many a time, hacking EarthBound is really tough – and hacking maps is one of THE toughest things to do. In fact, it’s the reason I stopped working on the remake hack some...Read More »
