MOTHER on MSNBC

That’s…pretty damn random.

Would be cool if they did.

One of the best games ever? Only if you don’t include either of its sequels. Mother is one of those series that gets better with every game.

POLL: Think we’ll ever see an English version of MOTHER 1/EarthBound Zero on the Virtual Console?

haha

hahahahaha

Good one, Mato. You crack me up.

Mother is one of my fave. poop games

Yes, we’ll see it on VC eventually, but not on the Wii.
Maybe in 20 years, we’ll see in on the Virtual Console for Wiistation 360 or so. But not as long as there’s still such a thing as royalties.

I am surprised they didn’t mention that it was a series.
And that the “why not now?” was there. I thought that it was copyright issues (again), and the whole “If Japan gets it why don’t we?” and when we do get it “Why don’t we get the more popular sequel?”

Coooooool.

Meh, MOTHER needs a little more time in the spotlight anyway.

I’d never heard of most of the games on that list. And seriously? Super Mario All-Stars? Really? “oh why don’t we have that version? it has great graphics!” Lesse:
SMB 1-3 500 each and Lost Levels 600
Total 2100
OR
All-Stars 800
Which one will make Nintendo more money?

Metal Storm? I didn’t expect to see that. I love that game.

I said “Yes, eventually.”
Though I think that if it ever does go to VC… it will be at the end of the Wii’s lifetime.

There are no mother games on the virtual console because because they have mother 1+2 and mother 3 for sale over there. NOJ decides which VC games come out and I figure they’d rather move product they already invested in (cartridges), then make them available for download.

@ Poll:
Yes! Definitely!
*Pollyanna theme plays*

Dayum, people think no mother will come! That makes me sad.

Hmmm… Mother would be the most likely to go on the VC, wouldn’t it? It’s more retro, and it doesn’t contain as many “legal problems” as the other two. And it’d be amazing to play it on an actual system, not an emulator. 😛

My thoughts exactly.

Erm… The link isn’t working for me..

The more Mother keeps placing in polls, the more Nintendo will have to address the public on why it can’t. Or, even better, realize they have to do something so it can.

Actually, in terms of legal problems, Mother 3 has the least. But Mother is the most likely to go on the VC. They already translated it, didn’t they? They could just dig around for that old ROM and put it up. Damn those lazy Nintendo people…

I’d love to see MOTHER on vc but think about it, wouldn’t it be weird to put a game on vc in America and it wasn’t even released in America? And yet EarthBound was?

Nintendo isn’t lazy- It’s just that everyone else is so goddamn vigilant with their fucking music royalties. America’s sueville, I’m learning Japanese and moving there.

Nintendo should release All-Stars in 3D and 2D, put in level editors, and be able to send levels to your friends, ala Little Big Planet.

…on the Wii, for $40/$50. That’d make them much more than the $21 net worth by buying them on VC alone.

To be honest, I’m still rather surprised there isn’t an official Nintendo effort to get Zero in english, granted, I don’t know if it had as many copyright stuff as Earthbound, but it was supposed to be translated.

Actually the only way to get Earthbound Zero on VC is to inject it to your wii through the wad manager app in the homebrew channel. idk if its illegal but i put it on my wii, it has all the labels like on other nes vcs… Nintendo Entertainment System> Earthbound Zero banner> [Wii Menu / Start]

Finally! The coverage this games needs! 🙂

Dead link

It will get out there in ummm…… 10 to 30 years but if NOA gets their lazy butts off the sueville bandwagon then it will come out.

I would go with yes. Mother 1 did sell a decent bit in Japan, after all.
