Little Nemo McFly Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Simply awesome. That is on fire. Tosses NZA a precious...Plus One. *Bling!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 honestly, i wish i had the original huge box it came in - i dumped all my cheap cardboard SNES boxes, but i held onto that one, it just didn't survive one of my many dorm moves. i'd happily buy a bootleg of it, that Mother 3 one if a fan-made one in the same vein. oh! and a Mr Staurn doll, totally missing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 All I have is a Ness Amiibo. I used to have a massive (store-bought) NES, SNES and N64 box collection - all tossed in a psychotic effort in parenting. I managed to salvage most of my manuals and Nintendo Powers, though. (saved 'bout 40 issues - lost all my Player's Guides...I was a subscriber, they gave out a lot of swag. My earliest 'surviving' issue is #32 - Jan 1992) It has the first part of the Link to the Past comic series...the first of the Nintendo Power comics. I remember them running the Earthbound demo reel at Babagges - begged my mother for it, but when she saw the size and price of it - she was like, 'Heeell no! You got enough Nintendo shit. That's too much.' I would've loved to have that Player's Guide. Nintendo Power had a killer preview of it in an issue - man, I wanted that game so bad as a youngin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So, after years of only seeing references to the game, and only finding out about it because of the first Smash Bros games ("Who the fuck is Ness?" My younger self said) and at the goading of a coworker I finally finished Earthbound. Sometimes it felt like a chore, other times it was a joy to play. Mostly a joy. Definitely one of the weirdest games I've ever played and funniest too. I loved the characters and music. I only wish I played it when I was a kid so I could appreciate it more, cause I can see it being infinitely more charming when it came out, and that is saying alot. So the question is, is Mother 3 a better game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Oh, and Giygas is probably one of the most terrifying villains I've ever fought. That disturbing boss fight ranks up with the likes of Jenova in FF7 and Lavender Town in horrifying stuff in non-horrifying games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 so glad you liked it, man! still one of my favorites, and yeah having played it as a kid, it was this amazing,quirky RPG that was unlike anything i'd played then. revisiting it as an adult - yeah, it's a dragon quest clone combat-wise, but man, the social satire Itoi's doing was incredible too, i missed so much of that in the day, or just couldn't yet relate, haha. the last boss, for example: it was dark, but i had no idea just how dark till i got older and everyone was talking about it. speaking of, Mother 3 is fantastic (and in no way connected), there's parts that might be a bit grindier and...well, some dark parts too. absolutely worth playing if you dug this, and hopefully we get more news about it coming to VC at E3 or so? everyone's assuming it'll be on switch & that'd be great, but it's nintendo so you really can't rule out it only going to the WU by the fall or something crazy, haha. PS the OST is absolutely a happy place for me too, yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Nemo McFly Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Congrats! Did you get stuck anywhere? Did you have to google anything? Also - Wii U or 3DS? I loved the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 So, axels' playthrough got me wanting to dive back in, and I decided to pick up where I'd left off years ago with a repro cart of mother 0 (Earthbound origins on WU) - went with the easy patch version to cut down on grinding, and I think I'm on my way to my 3rd party member now! There's absolutely places/characters they reused for the SNES game but there's enough of its own game here that I'm really digging...mostly just excited there's still an Itoi written adventure I've not yet finished Decided to hold off replaying 3 until we finally see it digitally too!

Little Nemo McFly Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I tried Mother (Earthbound Zero) waaaaay back - on emu. I knew Earthbound was a hybrid remake / sequel - but the 'remake' side / vibe actually kinda pushed me away - it felt too much of a grind and a step back / down from Earthbound. I was tempted to try again when it hit VC...but, (shakes head) LOL. Maybe one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Arino (GameCenter CX) & Shigesato Itoi talk about 30 years of Earthbound/Mother recently translated piece & it's really heartwarming; i love both these dudes (especially itoi) and the commnetary on iwata's input, miyamoto putting a team together (and itoi thinking he was shot down), all of it is just a great read Quote Itoi: Oh, I see your main character’s name is Peepee — that’s what I name him, too. [Standard name: Ness] Arino: Oh you had the same idea? (Laughs) Itoi: Peepee, Panties, stuff like that. Arino Kacho: Oh, Panties, I didn’t think of that. I picked my other names from the default selection. You might not be the person to confess this to, but I wish I could change the name of my character. Playing with a main character called Peepee really takes the wind out of the emotional scenes. (Laughs) Itoi: It’s hard to feel a deep emotion behind the words “What’s wrong, Peepee?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
