May 26th, 2009 | EarthBound | 82 Comments

VGChartz has been doing a top 100 games ever list, and EarthBound made it to #28. It’s better than God of War but not as good as Shenmue. Do you think that’s where EarthBound belongs, or should it be higher or lower in your opinion? For me, I think that general area is about right, but I definitely can’t see Twilight Princess being better than it, or even being that high up ...Read More »

There’s a glitch in MOTHER 1 with the Bread Crumbs item that can help you skip huge parts of the game. I think the glitch was fixed in EarthBound Zero and MOTHER 1+2, though. For details, see here and here. Anyway, pirohiko, who you might remember also finished EarthBound in an hour, made a TAS video for MOTHER 1 that’s only 25 minutes Click here to see MOTHER 1 completed in 25 minut...Read More »

May 24th, 2009 | Weekly Round-Up | 12 Comments

A bunch of interesting EarthBound stuff this past week, hurray! I wonder if Itoi ever imagined that there’d be such a crazy MOTHER series following outside of Japan. It’s interesting how it has such a strong community outside of Japan, and we only got ONE of the games! The way that games create fans, but fans keep games alive is an interesting phenomenon indeed. Anyway, that stuff asid...Read More »

A little while ago we saw that copy of EarthBound sell for over $1000. But did you know that empty EarthBound boxes themselves tend to go for a lot, too? Here’s one that’s selling for as much as (or more) than EarthBound catridges! I gotta admit though, the EarthBound box does kick ass With all this EarthBound stuff going for such high prices, I bet if I sold all my stuff I’d ha...Read More »

May 21st, 2009 | Audio Stuff, MOTHER 1 | 84 Comments

Many fans know all about the various official MOTHER 1, 2, and 3 soundtracks, but MOTHER series music has also appeared on other CDs. One such CD was the Famicom Best Music Selection, released in the early 90s. One of the songs included was this remix of Eight Melodies, which not people know about. It’s pretty weird and has a sound that definitely has that feel of 90s Japanese “trying ...Read More »
