In the past, EarthBound and MOTHER stuff always dominated Nintendo Power’s polls, so there hasn’t been any EarthBound stuff for years. But a couple fans recently e-mailed me to let me know that Nintendo Power’s latest online survey has EarthBound stuff again: I have no doubt which answer will prevail there Anyway, if you’re interested in seeing the full survey, see here!...Read More »

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 »

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 »

Josh sent this in the other day. It’s a scan from the latest issue of Nintendo Power, in a section talking about future predictions made in Nintendo games or something like that: (click for full-size) Apparently MOTHER 3 or EB were also mentioned briefly in something in the last issue of Nintendo Power too, but I don’t have any info or scans about that. ...Read More »

Omnomnominous sent this in, it’s from issue 69 of Nintendo Power. It briefly talks about how Nintendo handled the translation of MOTHER 2 into EarthBound: For some reason, people always assumed Dan Owsen did the translation for EarthBound. I don’t know why, from what I recall it was two Japanese women who translated it (and were listed in the credits), all Dan did was some editing wor...Read More »

A little while back a set of EarthBound pogs showed up on eBay. I mentioned that it would be cool to see the old Nintendo Power catalog that listed them, and so “Flit” sent in a scan of said catalog. Here’s the stuff about the EarthBound Pogs: Man, I should’ve gotten some, they were only $5 The most recent set on eBay sold for $255! I’m still confused though; this c...Read More »

Yesterday we took a look at the big EarthBound preview Nintendo Power had in issue #70. Today we check out issue #73, which has the REAL EarthBound article. I’m hesitant to call it a review since it’s like a lot of Nintendo Power stuff was back then – mostly meant to showcase stuff to consumers. Like I mentioned before, the preview in issue #70 is what convinced me to buy the gam...Read More »

All this really old and rare merchandise lately has me reminiscing about when EarthBound was first announced. While the actual advertising for the game was dumb, the articles for it in Nintendo Power were awesome and completely the reason I bought the game. So I thought it’d be neat to take a look back at some of that early Nintendo Power stuff. Here’s a big preview for the game they p...Read More »

I never understood the appeal of pogs, even back in the day, but when they were popular Nintendo Power made several sets that you could order through th...Read More »

January 23rd, 2010 | EarthBound 64, Interviews | 16 Comments

Many years ago, Nintendo Power sat down with Shigeru Miyamoto and asked him about Ocarina of Time and a few other games, including EarthBound 64. I forget the issue number, if anyone has it handy lemme know. How is EarthBound 64 coming along? Miyamoto: I think we can release EarthBound 64 by the end of the year. Even though the game is canceled, I still kind of wish they’d show us more from...Read More »
