That auction for EarthBound ruler that hit eBay earlier this week just ended. I managed to catch the last 30 seconds after someone mentioned it was almost over. It went to 305 or so, then suddenly it jumped to about 715 just seconds after that. It ended at $776.47. I dunno who won it, but congratulations, you have a super-rare piece of EarthBound merchandise and history. Just don’t let any ...Read More »

February 28th, 2010 | Weekly Round-Up | 12 Comments

Another interesting week for EarthBound merchandise collectors – first the super-rare EarthBound ruler showed up, then a Franklin Badge (which sadly turned out to be a Mother 3 one), and then a set of the rare EarthBound pogs. The past few weeks have been crazy with all this rare stuff. If this keeps up, maybe an EB64 proto will show up Okay, maybe not, but that’d be cool. Anyway, le...Read More »

Okay, I think an EarthBound merchandise miracle is underway or something. All this cool, really rare stuff showing up every few days for weeks in a row The latest rare EarthBound merchandise to hit the auction block is a set of EarthBound pogs! I never understood the appeal of pogs, even back in the day, but when they were popular Nintendo Power made several sets that you could order through th...Read More »

February 26th, 2010 | Auctions, MOTHER 1, Merchandise | 55 Comments

Update: It’s been confirmed that this is the MOTHER 3 Franklin Badge and not the MOTHER 1 Franklin Badge. While the M1 badges are unbelievably rare, the M3 ones are pretty hard to come by too, especially by themselves. When MOTHER was released in Japan, a bunch of strategy guides flooded the market. Possibly as a way to stand out from the crowd, the official strategy guides had a contest you...Read More »

First: This is not real. This is a fan creation. I came across this video just now and thought it was kind of neat. Mostly it made me imagine how nice it would be if there was ever such an announcement. I wonder how a DS version of MOTHER 3 (or any of the other games for that matter) would work. I’m guessing one screen would be relegated to stats or maps or something. I kind of hate it when...Read More »

Scott sent this in the other day: Hello, I spent a good two days sequencing “Your Name Please” (song during character setup) from Earthbound and I’m looking to get it out there to fans of the game… take a listen on YouTube and let me know what you think: The rapping is “Your Name Please” by Nas – The worst of the foul language has been removed (still sugg...Read More »

In MOTHER 1/EarthBound Zero, the Bread item can be eaten like any normal food to restore HP, but it can also be used to make a trail of bread crumbs. What’s neat about that is that you can warp back to the start of the trail. Obviously this is nothing new; anyone who plays the game will probably read about it at some point in the game and possibly use it once or twice after getting lost on t...Read More »

Good ol’ LucasTizma, collector of all things EarthBound, snagged that complete copy of EarthBound + set of rare EarthBound promotional stuff that showed up a few weeks ago. It cost him over $500 (and he already owns EarthBound), but he got it anyway AND was awesomely nice enough to scan the promo stuff for all fans to enjoy rather than keep it all for himself (more…) ...Read More »

A long while back I posted about a Mr. Saturn being created for Garry’s Mod. At the time it wasn’t complete, but now it is, and you can download it here! Here’s a video of the Mr. Saturn stuff in action: I’m pretty sure this is the closest we’ll ever get to real-life Mr. Saturns. For now. (ominous mad scientist music) ...Read More »
