How’d You Get into EarthBound?

January 27th, 2012 | Polls | 116 Comments

A common question I see all over the Internet is something like, “I want to get into the Mother series, what do you recommend I do?” So I’m planning to put together a handy little page about that, but first I kinda want to hear other folks’ thoughts on the subject, how you personally got into EarthBound (or any of the other games), and what about the games was the “ho...Read More »

Pokey or Porky?

January 6th, 2012 | EarthBound, MOTHER 3, Polls | 57 Comments

The MOTHER 3 fan translation’s been out a long time now, but every once in a while I think about how it could’ve been improved or handled better. One of those things is the decision to go with “Porky” instead of “Pokey”. At first I was worried it’d take a while for fans to get used to – was it that way for you? For reference, here’s what I put ...Read More »

EarthBound Had Best SNES Debut

July 27th, 2011 | EarthBound, Images, Polls | 44 Comments

A little while ago Nintendo Power ran an online poll, and the results have been published in the latest issue. The issue also commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Super NES (my god 20 years already???) so there’s a big article that covers a lot of the big Super NES games, EarthBound included. EarthBound’s ranking in the poll isn’t surprising, the game pretty much dominated ...Read More »

New Nintendo Power Poll

July 2nd, 2011 | EarthBound, Polls | 21 Comments

I haven’t kept track of Nintendo Power stuff for years now, I’m surprised they’re still doing polls. Apparently the latest one has a bunch of EarthBound-related stuff, so if you’re interested in voting, see here. Just, don’t spam the poll or anything, that’s lame. Vote how you really think, and then have something tasty to eat for no real reason, like a donut. ...Read More »

MOTHER 1 vs. MOTHER 2

February 10th, 2011 | MOTHER 1+2, Polls | 93 Comments

I’ve been curious about something lately, so I thought I’d make a poll about it here. Basically, I’m curious to know how people see MOTHER 1+2 in regards to translation. What interests you more, playing the MOTHER 1 part of MOTHER 1+2 with my retranslation/extra features/uncensoring, or being able to play the MOTHER 2 part of MOTHER 1+2 in English? Click here to vote! I’ve ...Read More »

The Runaway Five’s Names

December 15th, 2010 | EarthBound, Polls, Uncommon Knowledge | 23 Comments

This month, some official Runaway Five figures are being released, and that’s brought up some questions about the members’ names. This was always a bit of a fuzzy area for me, since I’ve heard conflicting info but never looked into it much. Here’s a quick rundown of their names though, for the especially die-hard fans! (more…) ...Read More »

MOTHER Figure Prices

September 2nd, 2010 | Merchandise, Polls | 28 Comments

So the first set of MOTHER 1 and MOTHER 2 figures has been released, and some have started to hit eBay. Already from the start the asking prices are very high, at $100 for each of the MOTHER 1 ones. It seems like there’s always price gouging when it comes to this series’ merchandise, so it’s not too surprising. Still, I’m curious to know what fans would consider reasonable...Read More »

EarthBound, ROM or Cartridge?

August 25th, 2010 | EarthBound, Polls | 257 Comments

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 »

Four Years Since MOTHER 3

April 20th, 2010 | MOTHER 3, Polls | 38 Comments

On April 20, 2006, MOTHER 3 was released in Japan. It’s hard to believe it’s already been four years since then, or that the English translation patch has been out for a year and a half now I already sort of covered memory lane stuff the past few years, on here and on the M3 translation blog, so I won’t rehash all that. Instead, I’ll point out these two old forum threads ...Read More »

Nintendo & EarthBound: What If?

January 29th, 2010 | EarthBound 64, MOTHER 1, MOTHER 1+2, Polls | 86 Comments

In the history of the MOTHER series, there’ve been several released games and a few cancelled projects. But out of those, only one game made it out of Japan: EarthBound. By now we all know the story and history of the series (if you don’t, see here), so I won’t go into that. But we can still play the “what if” game So today’s poll question is this: What if Ear...Read More »
