Pretty neat, I didn’t even know they were going to make a video for the MOTHER 3 Handbook. It certainly had more thought put into it than the advertising for the EarthBound Player’s Guide ...Read More »

Various Japanese blogs and message boards are reporting that the first round of Giant Mr. Saturn plushies have been shipped and are arriving now. Also, it appears that the plushes are shipped inside the Escargot Express boxes, which are themselves inside a slightly larger shipping box. That was nice of them. In fact, it looks like some people bought them just to turn around and sell them for a pr...Read More »

It’s been a lot of work, but at long last the MOTHER 3 Handbook has been made, printed, packed, and shipped, and have started to arrive in people’s mailboxes! To mark the occasion, I thought it’d be cool to take a little look into the project so you can see how much (insane) love was put into this guide But first, here are some sample pics I took from some pre-final PDFs: ...Read More »

Note: if you’re unsure of what this is, see the original post here. Anyway, a much better resolution pic has shown up on Japanese news site Dengeki Online. Here you go! Ahh, that’s much nicer on the eyes than that tiny, super-blurry scan UPDATE: Tansunn posted a comparison image in the comments: see here ...Read More »

In the summer of 1999, a playable demo of the Nintendo 64 version of MOTHER 3 (henceforth EarthBound 64) was shown to the public at Nintendo Spaceworld ’99. The Internet was still young back then, and we were all naive chaps, so looking back now, it was incredibly lucky for us that one of the very few Japanese fans we were in contact at the time with attended the event, took pictures, and wr...Read More »

UPDATE! A much better quality version of the image has been found, see here. Apparently, a new type of game and entertainment service (playable on PC and mobile phone) called “Roid” is planned to be released in Japan. The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu talks briefly about it, and the screenshot it includes is certainly eye-popping: (click for bigger scan) The article doesn’t say...Read More »

The other day, pirohiko posted a Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS) of EarthBound. The previous TAS record for EarthBound was 3 or 4 hours, but this latest run is just over 1 hour total To do this, legitimate bugs in the game are used to skip parts of the game, no cheat codes or anything were used. If you’re not familiar with what a TAS is, I like to think of it as how a superhuman might play a g...Read More »

At long last, the MOTHER 3 Handbooks have been finished and printed! Reid says shipping will start this week, and that many people will get them by the end of the month. I don’t envy him, having to pack and ship a couple thousand packages by hand won’t be fun Anyway, here are some teaser photos he posted earlier. I’ll go into more detail about the guidebook in a later update, a...Read More »

xfis is probably one of the coolest, craziest, most creative EarthBound fans there is. If you’ve ever seen a weird EarthBound live-action video, there’s a good chance he was involved He was also Ness in Fobbies are Borange, and Ninten in Ninten Speaks. Probably one of my most favorite of his creations though is this music video he made, called “I Am EarthBound”. Apparent...Read More »
