If you don’t remember, a whoooole bunch of MOTHER and MOTHER 2 figures are planned to be released in Japan slowly over the next seven months. They’re only available via those crane games in Japanese arcades, though. For more details about that, see my old news post here. Anyway, the first batch of figures, the MOTHER 1 figures, were scheduled to be released in the late August – a...Read More »

Ivan R. recently sent me an e-mail about the MOTHER series logo, namely the planet that’s used in the “O” n the name. I had totally forgotten about it, this is exactly the kind of thing I made EarthBound Central for! So without further ado, here’s where the MOTHER planet logo thing comes from. Here, we see the planet in the logos. These are the GBA MOTHER 1+2 versions so th...Read More »

On YouTube, a Japanese user named kumao1002 posted a video of his MOTHER series merchandise collection, and it’s really impressive. There’s stuff in there that I forgot even existed! I’m also amazed at the quality of some of these items, especially considering that MOTHER 1 was released 22 years ago. It’s also nice to see a lot of these things in more detail, a lot of it w...Read More »

Well, it’s later in the year, and at last they’ve been officially announced!

Many years ago, some folks got in touch with Louis Philippe, a musician who helped with some of the music for the MOTHER 1 soundtrack CD, most notably the Flying Man song. But the stuff he talked about was lost to the darkness of the old Internet, until Chas recently brought them back and put the info into article form: Video Games are Beautiful: Flying Man (MOTHER OST) This was something I alway...Read More »

Andrew sent this in just recently: I designed boxart in the spirit of the original Mother for EarthBound (NES) and is now available through: http://www.uncletusk.com/node/357 You can find out more information here. It definitely looks cool. From the moment I first saw this project starting, I wondered if eBay profiteers would try to use it to sell their EB0 bootlegs. Given that the boxes cost $2...Read More »

As you may remember, an EarthBound Zero prototype cart was put on eBay last month and was won buy our own fellow fan Roo for $1100. Roo is also an avid researcher and video-making guy, so naturally he made a detailed video about the prototype and information about all the EB0 prototypes. It’s interesting stuff, check it out! For $1100, I would’ve hoped the prototype could also clean ...Read More »
