Oh Buta Mask Orchestrated

May 17th, 2012 | Audio Stuff, MOTHER 3, Videos | 11 Comments

A few years ago I posted about a school orchestra performing “Oh Buta Mask” from MOTHER 3 (see here). Well, a good while ago xfis sent me an actual video of the performance, which you can see here: This was like four years ago – I wonder if any other school orchestras have done any EarthBound/MOTHER stuff like this. If you know, let me know! ...Read More »

JRokujuushi recently sent this in: I recently started uploading my music and arrangements to YouTube, and one of the arrangements was a mix of the first part of the Giygas fight and the Natural Killer Cyborg fight. I thought the site visitors might enjoy it. Check it out here: I wasn’t sure how well they’d mesh, but it worked out surprisingly well ...Read More »

Brownie Brown’s “Project B”

May 15th, 2012 | MOTHER 3, Uncommon Knowledge | 11 Comments

Many years ago, well before MOTHER 3′s release, Brownie Brown (the game’s developer) posted a mysterious Flash animation on its website. With the help of a fellow forumgoer, I translated the text into English. If you’ve never seen the animation, check it out here: View Brownie Brown’s “Project B” There had been no news about MOTHER 3 in years, so the fan resp...Read More »

Playing MOTHER 3 Blind

May 4th, 2012 | Hacking, MOTHER 3 | 16 Comments

A lot of gamers might not realize this, but especially well-designed video games can often be played by sound alone. For example, PoeTrader met a blind kid who was an expert at Pokemon – the sound each Pokemon makes helps a lot in knowing what’s going on in the game. There’s also this famous blind player: Anyway, a few years ago, a blind MOTHER fan by the name of stirlock posted...Read More »

MOTHER 3 Sprite Modifier Fun

April 29th, 2012 | MOTHER 3, Videos | 7 Comments

RyukaValis recently posted on the Starmen.Net forums a cheat code for MOTHER 3 that causes some interesting things to happen: If you enter 32004860 00:30 you’ll somehow make sprites randomly appear every time you enter a new area or go to Goods/Status/PSI, but the interesting thing is, you can find a LOT of unused sprites and items as well as dummy characters AND fully playable characters(who ha...Read More »

MOTHER 1+2&3 in German Gamepro

April 23rd, 2012 | Images, MOTHER 1+2, MOTHER 3 | 13 Comments

The other day girl034 sent this to me: Dear Mato, Yesterday I found an article about “Mother 1+2″‘s release in a german magazine called “Gamepro”. (the magazine is from 2003) It also claims that Mother3 will soon be coming out. I hope you haven’t gotten any messages about that yet. Greetings. I’m not sure what it says, but it looks short enough that it...Read More »

Mini-Update Megathon #5

April 21st, 2012 | EarthBound, MOTHER 3, Videos | 10 Comments

Updates have been a little slow lately due to over-busy-ness, so to make up for it, here’s a bunch of recent submissions all at once! EarthBound on Kotaku Chris says: Hey, check this out. Kotaku has a weekly column for JRPGs (a breath of fresh air, the genre is generally beaten down on every other website) and this week they focused on Earthbound: LINK Pokey is a Top Jerk Matt says: Pokey is...Read More »

MOTHER 3 Editor / Viewer Released

April 7th, 2012 | MOTHER 3 | 24 Comments

Jeffman recently released a new program that lets you edit and view various stuff in the MOTHER 3 ROM! Check out his post here! Because it’s an early release and because the MOTHER 3 ROM is crazy complicated and unexpandable, it’s not as robust as PK Hack is for EarthBound. But if you’ve ever wanted to dig around in the ROM and see stuff or make difficulty hacks or anything like...Read More »

Here’s a video by IamCanadian3333 showing a bunch of EarthBound references that appear in MOTHER 3: Has anyone ever made a full list of references? I realized that’s probably something I should’ve done at some point, either for the translation project or for this site, but just never did. ...Read More »
