For years and years and years fans have been theorizing about how Ninten and Ness are related. A common theory is that Ninten is Ness’ father, but other fans are quick to point out that MOTHER 1 takes place in 1988 while MOTHER 2 takes place in 199X. That doesn’t give Ness, who’s apparently 12 in MOTHER 2, enough time to grow up. So unless you do some iffy math or say Ninten had ...Read More »

Pippo sent this in: Ness sighting on a BBC TV show! In the second episode of Ricky Gervais’s new show “Life’s Too Short”, there’s a scene outside the London Comic Con. Warwick Davis rides a Segway past a long-trousered Ness sporting a baseball bat And here’s a screenshot for reference: I feel like Ness is walking into the crowd to start kicking some ass ...Read More »

meleemario submitted this a while ago: Hey Tomato! I dug up an old issue of Tips & Tricks (R.I.P.) magazine the other day when I was digging through my N64 collection, looking for a game to play. In any case, I spotted Ness on the cover of of T&T (Only took me 8 years to notice!), and I thought that despite this being relatively minor, it’s still important nonetheless to see Earthb...Read More »

Last year and this year, a whole bunch of MOTHER and MOTHER 2 figures were released in Japan, but it’s been surprisingly hard to find videos of them. So here’s one with one of the large Ness figures (as opposed to the mini figures) for collectors’ reference, courtesy of lithium017! Man, if we could only show this video to the EarthBound fans of ten years ago, they’d probab...Read More »

Apparently there are a number of unused sound clips in the original Super Smash Bros. game for the N64 – one of which is Ness saying, “PK Starstorm!” You can supposedly hear it via a debug menu, here’s a video: I guess they had planned for Ness to have Starstorm abilities from the very start but only got around to adding it in Brawl? Any Smash Bros. superfans got any more ...Read More »

Over the last few weeks a couple people have e-mailed me about Scott Pilgrim-related EarthBound stuff. The movie’s coming out sometime soon too, so I guess people are really hyped up about it lately. Anyway, here’s one that talks about the “Chaos Theatre”. Normally, I’d chalk that up to coincidence, but it’s clear there’s EarthBound/MOTHER fandom involved...Read More »

A game called 3D Dot Game Heroes recently hit the PS3. I’ll skip an explanation of the game here, but I guess you’re also able to make custom characters or something in it? Anyway, Super2dcow over on the Starmen.Net forums made a Ness character! Not sure what this is, but here’s a zip file with some probably relevant data. Is the game any good? I’ve been thinking of gett...Read More »

I’m a few days behind the times on this one, but apparently Super Smash Bros. (for the Nintendo 64) was released on the North American Virtual Console a few days ago. Ness is a secret character in the game that you can unlock if you’re good at it. I don’t recall the requirements offhand, it was something like beat the game on normal difficulty without using any continues and losi...Read More »
