A little while back I posted about a new CD coming out that features a lot of Keiichi Suzuki’s movie and game music. This CD includes some MOTHER series music too, including a new version of Smiles & Tears. If you don’t remember what Smiles & Tears is, it’s the song that plays at the end of EarthBound, during the staff credits. Shigesato Itoi actually wrote lyrics for t...Read More »

Miles sent this in recently: I saw Ms. Marshmallow fan art on Deviantart, and encountered Porky and Ms. Marshmallow pairings. For some reason, Ms. Marshmallow’s dress reminded of Lady Gaga. This “music” is a product of absolute silliness. It’s MOTHER +LOVE 2 mixed with Love Game by Lady Gaga… parts appeared to fit well when sung in my head! Enjoy. Audio clip: Adobe Fl...Read More »

A little while back Jumpman sent this in: Hi, I’m a video game guitarist and I arrange and perform songs from video games that I love. I tried to contact you through the submit form on Earthbound Central but I’m not sure it works. I’d like to show you a cover of two Mother 3 songs that I’ve made.
