All this really old and rare merchandise lately has me reminiscing about when EarthBound was first announced. While the actual advertising for the game was dumb, the articles for it in Nintendo Power were awesome and completely the reason I bought the game. So I thought it’d be neat to take a look back at some of that early Nintendo Power stuff. Here’s a big preview for the game they p...Read More »

EBchamp won the super-rare EarthBound ruler that was on eBay a few weeks back, and he was kind enough to take some more photos of it for the rest of us. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { ...Read More »

Since there’s been a bunch of EarthBound-related promotional stuff lately, I thought it might be good to quickly mention these things. These are photo slides of EarthBound stuff, sent by Nintendo’s PR company to media outlets for use in magaznes and whatnot. As far as I know, these two are the only ones known to exist, or at least are the only ones that are floating around out there in...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 »

Lately we’ve been taking a look at old Japanese magazines, so I thought I’d continue with that theme. This is one of the ads that ran in Famicom Tsushin magazine in 1994 a few weeks before MOTHER 2’s release. The scan is courtesy of good ol KingDarian, another crazy (as in crazy awesome) collector of MOTHER/EarthBound merchandise. click to enlarge (be warned, it’s a big pi...Read More »

A person by the internet name of Kimagure Mikan seems to be a huge Mr. Saturn fan, and on her (I’m assuming it’s a her) blog she posted her latest journey to acquire some of the new mini Mr. Saturn plushes from Japanese arcades. Check out some of her other pages too for some more awesome Mr. Saturn fun Anyway, here are some photos from Japanese arcades that have the Mr. Saturns. It...Read More »

I came across a Japanese site with lots of interesting stuff that I’ll post over time, including some interesting interviews. For now though, here are scans of some MOTHER 1 promotional material from the August 4-18, 1989 issue of Famicom Tsuushin. I don’t own a copy of the magazine so these are the best pics available for now. I couldn’t find this particular issue on Yahoo Aucti...Read More »

Many months ago I posted about LucasTizma’s latest additions to his MOTHER collection. But a true collector can never stop, which is why he went and ordered yet another huge batch of MOTHER stuff from Japan. Here are his latest spoils: #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } ...Read More »
