Old MOTHER 3 in Europe Rumor

…Tess?
Ah well, It’s still pretty cool to see.

Yeah, I remember “Tess” in Melee, and Brawl. =P

…Tess…

I do agree that I would have rather liked to be able to buy a legitimate copy of the game so I could support one of my favorite series, but I do enjoy the fanslation a great deal.

The weird thing is I have this issue and I don’t remember a thing about Mother 3 in there at all. It’s quite funny, because other than this article, the Mother series doesn’t exist at all according to them.

His name is Tess in England? And No. That’s NOT humor.

Make me remember that I have a french magazine with a short article about the game. I may scan it and translate it one day…

Z-Master: do it, I love having that kind of stuff on EB Central 😀

That screenshot looks a little strange, wouldn’t Lucas and Boney have pig masks on at that point?

That museum screenshot was the first picture of Mother 3 I ever saw. Ah, memories…

Tess? What next! Tinten? Tucas? lol

@Someone Else: no, that screen is everywhere, I don’t think it has any error.

Also, Tess…

I did have that magazine and pointed it out at some point, but I no longer know where it is. Chances are, it’s sitting in a pile in my little brother’s old room, or it could have been recycled. I don’t know.

Stupid ONM. Or NOMNOMNOM, depending on what year it is.

it would have been nice to show those animals a link to the fan translation patch

Too bad that they’re already dead.

Epic fail at “Tess” in melee and brawl XD

I like how they forgot to turn on the video filter on their emulator for the bottom screenshot. That, along with Tess, really helps their credibility.

Tess. lol i wonder how they got THAT name. sheesh because i TOTALLY remember it being in Melee 😛 lol

Actually, those screenshots came from Itoi’s site – they were the first screenshots to ever be shown. But they definitely could’ve done a better job resizing them for the magazine 😯

Tess, now thats humour.

Lucas’ face is all weird in the bottom screenshot

He’s like O_o

Dreams being destroyed by an asshole named Reggie Fils-Aime… I wonder if Europe fans are also angry about this.

The 1st screenshot of Mother 3 I saw in my life was Lucas and Boney standing with Mapson sat on the bench and the women talking… thats what you would call a Fan’s memory.

I hate how certain they sound about releasing the game. It’s like they don’t have any doubt. When obviously it’s never coming to Europe now…

Strange that they say it looks like it’ll be borrowing over a lot of the same characters, when the only returning characters I can think of are Porky and Mr. Saturn 😀

Tess? That instantly reminded me of Tessy.

Isn’t Tess the broad from Touched by an Angel?

The Nessie-Watching Club?

This gave me hope for a long time, simply because at the time it was all we had for a possible English release. I wonder more about what they would call it…EarthBound 2, Mother 3…

Either way, things turned out okay.

I remember this. I also remember my immediate reaction: “Haha, no.”

But yeah, I see that picture of Duster in that room almost everywhere that mentions Mother 3, as well as the pic that PKSTARMAN mentioned.

Wait, wasn’t Earthbound not even released in the UK? That pretty much makes the first sentence, and pretty much the entire rest of this article null and void. I guess they thought enough people knew about it there.

Still… Tess?? Have the editors of that magazine even played a video game in their entire lives?

I guess they confused Ness with a lake?

With all the fuss about Tess, didn’t anyone notice that they forgot MOTHER 1?

Jeepers, those are possibly the worst captions I’ve ever read.

Yeah i remember playing melee.Tess was my fav character.Man, i loved Tess ;P

So they think Mother 2 was the first game?

Since I saw this originally, all I coudl ever think about it was, how can an “Official” magazine have so many errors and lies?!

I’ve heard of other bad things coming from this official UK Nintendo magazine.

Like this one time a good friend of mine got featured in it because she had a huge Pikachu collection (even had one of those rare Pikachu VW bugs) and the whole article pretty much made fun of her about it. I think one of the captions said, “She’s a few Digglets short of a Dugtrio. They didn’t even ask her permission about it, interview her or anything.

You’d think for a country known for the excellent journalism of the BBC this magazine would try a little harder to get these little things right.

Tess sucks. I never liked him.

Anyway, I love Ness.

Cyclone: The Mother series never even got a release in europe, so most people don’t know about it.

How about that, the magazine (whether it was officially owned by Nintendo or not) actually had the guts to say Earthbound has a sequel.

Even to this day, Nintendo Power hasn’t ever told its readers Mother 3 exists. Too bad for them they’re in the age of the internet.

Actually, Churly, I think they did once. I remember seeing an article in this one section they used to do about Japan exclusives and they talked about it and made an excuse that because of the huge amount of text in the game, it would take years to translate and be nearly impossible to do so.

And ironically, I think it printed a few months before the fan translation was completed! Haha!

I think I have that issue!

@Churly: Nintendo Power has mentioned Mother 3 tons of times, usually taunting readers that it’d be released. Like when they were spreading rumors about Kingdom Hearts 3 being made.

I remember this issue. I still haven’t got Mother 3 🙁
i want to name Lucas Tess! -3-

Heh, I remember sending that into you guys at Starmen.net, cannot believe that was 3 years ago now :(.

Tess,Wow they had really poor eyesight for N & T back then,Haopfully their not now.

Tess people have been tessing ages for Motess 3… now tess’s humour.

Tess? O.o

‘member me, guise?

It’s NESS not TESS!!!

Tessie was in meelee and brawl?

ONM is a great magazine! perhaps it has improved from 2006:( They sometimes have typos, so Tess might have been a typo.

What the fuck? TESS! ARE YOU SHITTING ME!

DAMN!

Yeah.. I remember playing as Tessie in Brawl. Just crushing everyone.

Tess? As in Tessie, that purple creature? FAIL.

Tess? As in Tessie, that purple creature? FAIL!

…well, maybe he was using a Dvorak keyboard. The “T” and the “N” are located next to each other on that keyboard.

Wow… Old though this is…
Tess?
Well, I guess Tess is my best Melee and Brawl character now. Sorry, Ness!
