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 »

I’ve caught a few Classic Game Room videos in the past, and it looks like there’s a new MOTHER 1+2 review video up, posted a few days ago: If you’re a regular visitor here this probably isn’t anything new to you, I just like that MOTHER 1+2 is getting attention, I feel like it’s often overlooked. It’s a shame it never got released outside of Japan, that would&#...Read More »

I’m super-sleepy and full of Dr Pepper (possibly related?) so I’ll keep this update quick – I’m selling a rare Saturn Valley Express newspaper flier and a rare MOTHER 1 novel advertisement! The MOTHER 1 novel ad is for the reprint they did in 2003 to coincide with MOTHER 1+2′s release. I think it might even be the first one to ever appear on eBay, but don’t quo...Read More »

I’m also including a bunch of other really rare items from the official MOTHER 1+2 event held in 2003, check it all out here! Here’s Itoi signing boxes prior to the ...Read More »

A long while back I posted a GSF archive that included all the music from MOTHER 1+2. Courtesy of MaxOfS2D, here’s an MP3 archive of all the music from the MOTHER 2 portion of MOTHER 1+2: MOTHER 2 GBA MP3 archive (159 MB) Honestly, there’s no real point in downloading this – I highly recommend getting the Super NES EarthBound MP3 archive off of Starmen.Net here instead. The GBA...Read More »

Years ago I went on a hunt for all sorts of EarthBound/MOTHER-related videos to add to the Starmen.Net YouTube page. One thing I managed to miraculously uncover was raw footage of the MOTHER 1+2 release party in 2003. It’s only of the talk show portion of the event (most of which I already translated here), but if you want to see the whole thing, here you go! Part 1: Part 2: It’s a...Read More »

For a while now, I’ve wanted to make MP3 rips of the MOTHER 1+2 music – mostly just because it’d be nice to have around sometimes, usually to show people the difference between the original games’ music and the GBA ports’. Some GSF archives exist, which you can get here: MOTHER 1 GSF archive MOTHER 2 GSF archive GSF files are basically the GBA equivalent of SPC file...Read More »

A while back, tintinophile691 sent this in: I discovered this while messing with the GBA version of Mother 2. In the GBA compilation “Mother 1+2″, you can actually do a weird walk in the Mother 2 section by pressing the Left, Right, and Down buttons on the D-pad. I tested it, but this does not apply to the SNES version. You actually walk DOWNWARDS, but you are facing in a different di...Read More »

I’m not much for doing interviews, so whenever a magazine or someone asks me for an interview I usually decline. After the MOTHER 3 translation came out, I got a lot of requests but sent most of them Reid’s way instead. I thought I did only one or two in 2008, but I just remembered I did do a very quick interview for Retroaction sometime last year when I randomly came across the page f...Read More »
