Here’s an old video by Plo that I had totally forgotten about until now! What I like about this video is seeing how ridiculous some of this stuff would actually look in real life – hitting trees with bats and stuff like that There’s actually a story behind this video too! Many years ago, when the Starmen.Net staff had first heard about EarthBound being prepped for a Virtual Co...Read More »

Good ol’ Omnomnominous sent this in a little while back: Hey I was just reading ‘NGamer’ magazine and found this. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Nice to see that there are UK fans wishing the MOTHER series would make it onto VC/DS. Apologies for the poor quality, since I used a camera rather than a scanner.

Floisonkeya posted these scans over on the Starmen.Net forums recently. Here’s what she said: Well, a couple of days ago, the Official Nintendo Magazine of Australia and New Zealand, May 2010 was mailed to my brother and I, as so for every month.

I guess it’s no secret that games on the Wii Virtual Console are basically ROMs wrapped in a bunch of other stuff, so shortly after the system was released people figured out how to put custom ROMs onto the Virtual Console. I know you can use the Homebrew Channel to play almost any old game you want, but some people prefer that feel of authenticity. Here’s one guy who went the extra mi...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 »

Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64 was just released on the Wii Virtual Console in Europe.

The new issue of Nintendo Power is out, and the latest poll was for the most wanted RPGs for the Wii Virtual Console. The EarthBound games have dominated all the past Nintendo Power polls (as seen here), so it’s no surprise that EarthBound and EarthBound Zero got top spots again this month: Also, EarthBound was #4 on the staff’s most wanted list (see here) Next month’s poll is f...Read More »
