Plo is Crazy for EarthBound

And he’s still that mad today. 😉

We wuv our Plo.

Except now his video powers are even more powerful!

Why don’t we start a petition to get Earthbound on VC? I think Nintendo would be more responsible. I mean it’s not like other games on virtual console have questionable copyright infringement? The game could be the swan song for the VC, I think that is something we’d be willing to shell out 8 dollars for.

People have been making petitions. These were just from the first 2 pages of google results. Some of these go as far back as 2008. Some may go back further.

Mato: This is true. 😀 I do love some of the things he’s produced.

I didn’t realize until now how appropriate a dead end sign would be as the sign you fight.

Of course, Nintendo would probably censor that somehow. Maybe to a yield sign or something ridiculous, but actually still kind of fitting, in that way they do.

The way I see this all finally being resolved is one of us becomes a celebrity with endless money and powerful influence. We ask to be put in contact with, say, the chief financial officer at Nintendo of America, and we propose to simply write the company a check for some very large number of dollars to fund the re-release of EarthBound (and maybe a localized Mother 3). My guess is that they just know that they wouldn’t profit, especially if the copyright and licensing theories are correct. Nobody at Nintendo is going to drop a substantial sum of their own cash for the sole purpose of releasing some niche game(s), but one of us might be that crazy one day.

Yeah, I remember watching this video when it was first released, and for some bizarre reason I thought that “Runaway Dog” barking at 0:58 was the funniest freakin’ thing I had ever seen. Of course, I watched it again just now and couldn’t but break into a fit of suppressed giggles when that part popped up. I think I may have problems.

^Ah. “…couldn’t HELP but break into…” was what I meant.

btw when i was playing against the cpus in PAL kid icarus uprising one of there names were PKFIRE.

@nesstron: I think I saw a groucho looking enemy in one of the Kid Icarus preview videos. Made me think of Earthbound 0.

I just signed the petitions on all of the sites you listed. I think we should go beyond the petition, a pledge drive. Kinda like the kickstarter thing doublefine just did. We could show Nintendo how much money they really are missing out on. With a petition it’s hard to gage how many people will actually buy earthbound on VC. With a pledge you will know exactly how many people will buy it.

Yo mato, just telling you if you haven’t played Kid Icarus uprising yet, in the multiplayer, one of the computer names is Ness.

EarthBound: You will never look at an oak the same way again.

EVERY time I remember all the torment NOA put MOTHER fans through I get PO’d.

With that said, there’s it that rumored new Smash Bros. Game for the 3DS and WIIu. With Brawl, the amount of MOTHER related things took a step up from Melee. And Melee from the N64 one.

Will the NEXT smash have even more MOTHER nods?

Or has NOA finally put it’s foot down?

Hmm, if EB does get released in Wii U VC, can we use Plo’s video this time?

There needs to be a 2013 version now!
