September 20th, 2009 | Weekly Round-Up
Very busy this Sunday afternoon, so I’m gonna make this a quicker roundup than usual.
Some cool and interesting stuff happened this week, so let’s take a look at it:
EarthBound News
- Sell your copy of EarthBound to Toys R Us for 50 cents!
- High-res scans of the EarthBound Player’s Guide!
- EarthBound musician posts a MOTHER 1 track from an old album of his
- Official Ultimate Chimera shirt back in stock for limited time
- Some Ness lookalikes
- This ad sucks
- Brawl recreation of MOTHER 3 Chapter 6
- The much-wanted MP3 of Fate by Senor Saturno
- Ness vs. Link
Cool Auctions & Merchandise
Here are a couple things that showed up on eBay this week that are worth checking out. You can also see all the EarthBound and MOTHER stuff currently on eBay here. And if you’re into RSS feeds, check out this one, it will keep you somewhat up-to-date with EarthBound merch as it shows up on eBay.
Official MOTHER 1+2 keychains
- MOTHER 3 Deluxe Box AND MOTHER 1+2! – good deal, good combo!
- Rare MOTHER 2 4-koma Manga – good for collectors
- Mr. Saturn plush for a decent price for once!
- EarthBound 1991ed. – ???? what does that even mean?
- EARTHBOUND SNES VIDEO GAME AND STRATEGY GUIDE – very good combo deal
- EarthBound (Super Nintendo / SNES) Earth Bound TESTED!
- EarthBound (Super Nintendo)
- Mother Earthbound Mr. Saturn Plush Figure Japan RARE
And here’s some cool stuff on Yahoo! Auctions Japan:
- Rare official MOTHER 2 Slot Machine Brothers card game!
- Super rare MOTHER 2 store poster!
- Handbook from Nintendo Super Famicom Earthworld 1994 w/ MOTHER 2 ad!
- Set of MOTHER 1+2 strategy guides, pretty cool
- MOTHER 1+2 and a cool MOTHER 1 guide
- It’s Mr. Saturn city here
And stuff on Amazon:
- This week EarthBound is $80 on Amazon. It’s kind of neat to see the lowest price fluctuate, it’s almost like a mini stock market. Alas, there are no strategy guides for sale this week
Community News
- Youtube Tuesday – Humoresque of a Little Dog – I think it’s the same video we saw a while ago, but it’s definitely worth another listen/watch
- 4cr Retro – EarthBound (SNES)
- Press The Buttons: EarthBound Player’s Guide Revisited
- La Guía Oficial de EarthBound, en PDF (therror)
- Las traducciones de juegos al castellano mas esperadas (2ª parte)
- So. I am sick. Possibly from drinking something suspicious and not realising it until after I’d already drunk it.
- Half-Masked: 189- Hehe Butts.
I’m a potato so I can’t possibly keep up with every single thing that happens in the EarthBound community, so if you’ve done something cool or if you know of something cool that belongs here, let me know!
What’s Up With Itoi
- This week Itoi talked more about Beatles stuff and said that he might want to do some Beatles-related content on his site at some point. He even asked for suggestions from his readers.
- He also talked about how he’s witnessed electronics and appliances evolve, but there’s one thing he’s been looking forward to: the day that home appliances won’t need power cords anymore.
End
Well, that’s all for this week. What next week hold is anyone’s guess. Now I must return to my home planet.

At Moonside:
Can’t agree any more.
I have a Sega Game Gear, that thing needs 6 batteries to work and tears through all of them in less than an hour.

I’m with Itoi on the plug thing. My video game setup is probably a fire code violation at this point.
