- currybunny, on 05/08/2008, -0/+70You know, I'm quite surprised Nintendo hasn't re-released Earthbound already.
Honestly, they released Donkey Kong Jr. math on the virtual console, and it's fan-base and sales I'm sure are frigging minuscule.
Point is, if they don't release Earthbound soon with all this recent hype about it going around,
they are going to lose a lot of sales when/if they decide to later on. - bbqsalad, on 05/08/2008, -0/+52Mother 1+2+3 for DS and in english please. Save Tomato and Jeffman, Those guys are working very hard on something NOA should have done a while ago.

(I'm trying to learn how to whistle) - Ninten1, on 05/08/2008, -3/+44Great article.
- Wronghead, on 05/08/2008, -0/+37Translating an existing game for a US release is a financial risk? How the ***** could this be any more of a risk than the hundreds of ***** titles that get released every year? Earthbound rocked. Nintendo is dumb.

- XenoSNK, on 05/08/2008, -1/+36NOA_ANDY: OK, I have a question here for ya ... Let's just get this one out of the way ...
ZERO_13: Are there any plans to bring the MOTHER 3 game to USA?
NOA_BILL: Was there a question Andy? Haven't seen one yet!
NOA_RAMTOWER: Alan already answered it.
NOA_RAMTOWER: He's got me beat for speedy fingers.
NOA_ALAN: Mother 3 plans?
NOA_NATE: What's Mother 3?
NOA_ALAN: Um...
NOA_RAMTOWER: There's a Mother 3?
Taken from a transcript at Camp Hyrule I think in '06. I hate NOA. - Black6x, on 05/08/2008, -0/+33Digging through trash cans for hamburgers never sounded better.
- Zarokima, on 05/08/2008, -1/+34Pics or you're lying.
If you can provide pics you're one of the most awesome people I've ever met. - beyondinfinity, on 05/08/2008, -2/+31EARTHBOUND starring...Ness the boy wonder, Paula the physic prodigy, Jeff the mechanical wizard, And Poo the expert martial artist.
Any game with enemies including aliens, piles of barf, robots, and psychotic hippies must be a classic. - KirbyMeister, on 05/08/2008, -17/+46This game stinks.
- Sneakernets, on 05/08/2008, -1/+29heh, why are you getting dugg down? that's from the advert.
- DeathJux, on 05/08/2008, -2/+30BANANAS ARE BETTER THAN APPLES!!!
Oh... wait... different people might prefer one over the other. - 1cor1313, on 05/08/2008, -0/+26I can see why the game has such a cult following. It was really quirky and fun. It's sort of sad that they've been ignored by Nintendo. I always figured Nintendo to be the type of company that listens to its fanbase.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 05/08/2008, -0/+25Been going to starmen.net for years and years, ever since Mother 3 was a game for the 64DD. Love to hear some success,
- shertzerj, on 05/08/2008, -0/+24A tradition of mine (which started a number of years ago) is that a summer cannot go by without me playing through EarthBound. Every year I spend more and more time trying to get the Sword of Kings.
- TheBubbleMonkey, on 05/08/2008, -0/+23The single greatest game i've ever played. It's stuck with me ever since i first played it. The music in this game is perfect. This game better get released on the VC or I will take to the streets and rally with my new age retro hippies and cranky old ladies
- TobiasParker, on 05/08/2008, -2/+23I have a Earthbound tattoo.
- ryleyleckie, on 05/08/2008, -0/+20best game ever
- Flame15, on 05/08/2008, -0/+19I agree.
- Schmapdi, on 05/08/2008, -0/+19As a big Earthbound fan, I'm hoping the inclusion of Lucas in SSB:B will help increase the popularity of the series enough for Nintendo to release Mother 3 stateside at some point. Ala how Marth and Roy in SSB:M helped get Fire Emblem enough recognition for them to test the waters here.
- haxr, on 05/08/2008, -0/+17In the end, this whole article is just an argument for distribution engineers. There needs to be a way to make money off something people want, and if you can get it to them at a cost that results in a profit, it should be done.
- Chebsi, on 05/08/2008, -0/+16BUZZBUZZ DIES?!
- 8BitGaming, on 05/08/2008, -0/+16Say "fuzzy pickles'
- Jenadae, on 05/08/2008, -1/+17Give me mother 3 or give me death!
/croak - Bokista, on 05/08/2008, -0/+15I screamed 'cause I didn't know what else to do.
- bbqsalad, on 05/08/2008, -0/+15Oh and may I add I thought the advertising for EB was great. It was the scratch and sniff ad in Gamepro mag that made me think about renting the game and then buying it.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -0/+14___terday was a Beatles Song
Yes No - keepinithamsta, on 05/08/2008, -0/+14Earthbound is still my favorite game of all time. I'd love to see the Mother trilogy in English in a bundle with a limited edition DS or even a GBA...
- nowisnothing, on 05/08/2008, -1/+15Earthbound is the one game I still pull out to play through about once a year since it came out in my childhood. Anyone I've ever come across who is familiar with the game (which is unfortunately not too many) seem to share the same affection for it. The VC release is cool, but after all this time drooling over EB64 screens and praying for mother 3 in the US, it's such a consolation prize it doesn't even peak my interest.
- RobotBuddha, on 05/08/2008, -0/+14That was surprisingly touching. I've always really liked earthbound, and remember the community glee at the news of "earthbound 0". Really looking forward to returning to the story when the fan translation is finished.
- Atheno, on 05/08/2008, -0/+13All hail the Eraser Eraser!!
- ekravchenko, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11my thoughts, exactly
- MatoSan, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11I also agree he deserves a ton of credit for the hard work he's done. He kicks ass. Though you're off on a couple other things there. There was no drama as you describe it, either. There are also only really two hackers, me and Jeff. It is coming along great though :)
- coheedcollapse, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11Those ads were damn memorable. I remember two of them in particular - Ness at the end of his journey without bathing at all, and the mole enemy (it just smelled like grass).
I grew up on this game. It was (and still is) one of my favorite RPG's of all time. It's sad to see Nintendo ignoring such an incredible franchise. - contradictator, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11Ok, nobody tell him about Aeris then, I don't think he could handle it.
- Elshender, on 05/08/2008, -0/+11Money, that's what I want.
Money, that's what is hot.
Money, that's what I want.
Money, it's what we ain't got,
'cept freedom, freedom, freedom is what we've really sought! - gossipninja, on 05/08/2008, -0/+9I am simply amazed nintendo has dropped the ball to this degree. Earthbound was a fantastic game and really deserves all the attention it gets. I can not believe nintendo won't/can't port all the 3 mother games to the WII. They green light so many crap games for the wii, yet wont take already made games and translate and release them. Especially boggling since Earthbond/mother has a built in fanbase, unlike cooking mama, or escape from bug island, (or almost any other wii game)
- Zippo, on 05/08/2008, -0/+9Can't argue with that logic.
- inactive, on 05/08/2008, -1/+10I wouldn't leave my house if they released Earthbound for the VC for at least a week.
- evillawngnome, on 05/08/2008, -0/+10Jeffman doesn't get enough credit. He spearheaded the translation project a whole YEAR before Tomato and Reidman were willing to commit for various reasons. When they finally decided to translate it, rather than join Jeffman's project, they started a duplicate project. It was several months before they (Tomato's team) realized how stupid that idea was and joined forces with Jeffman.
Fortunately for everyone, this project has snowballed and picked up a couple more hackers along the way. This translation is going to be one for the record books - probably the most professional looking fan translation ever because of the quality people working on this (Tomato is a professional translator). - kelerian, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8Nintendo should make up for all of this by releasing this package to fans. That's the least they should do now.
- Zarokima, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8They're both thoroughly enjoyable, and neither one is ">>>>>>>" the other, just simply ">," and I'd probably have to give it to Earthbound for the quirky humour. But that's just because I'm into that sort of thing, although some people aren't.
- Clugenheim, on 05/08/2008, -0/+8Yes, I certainly could not agree more.
You are my hero. - indigit4l, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7Yeah, I actually bought this game the first weekend it came out. The huge box was a big selling point
- rayefrenzy, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7I refused to buy a N64 until they released mother3 (they were calling it EB64 at the time)
I still haven't bought an N64 - Atheno, on 05/08/2008, -0/+7Mr. Saturn?
- Zihuatanejo, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6Poo
- patbingsoup, on 05/08/2008, -0/+6i was definitely into this game, totally awesome
