New Nintendo Power Survey

That’s a curious addition to a poll in this day and age~!

Ah, that little child in me is acting excited again. I may have to grab a manga to keep her quiet for a while. 😉

Awesome, though I could go either way.

Someone remind me why Mother 1 hasn’t been put on Virtual Console yet? Earthbound and M3 I understand, but what about the first one? Is it just Nintendo not wanting to get people too interested in the latter?

@Mill Johnny B. Goode

Maybe NOA wants to know which one we really want and maybe get a virtual console release or something like that.

I couldn’t decide which one I liked better. Mother is the original but somehow if I was telling someone that my favorite games are the Mother series…. It just sounds weird and slightly pervy.

Aah, no Mother 3? That’s kind of disappointing. I probably would have picked M3 over EarthBound.

Are they asking which “title” we prefer as in which game, or as in what do we prefer as the title for the series?

It’s asking which title we like better, not the games themselves.

That’s actually kinda a hard one to decide. For the second game, i usually call it by the American name Earthbound, but for the other two games i usually call them by their Japanese names Mother and Mother 3. I’m not really sure which i like best.

Mill: Mother 1 isn’t any better for copyrighted material. There’s more in that game than I even realised, and things that didn’t make it into the sequel.

Mmm… it would be interesting if they are thinking what the best name for it would be. Who knows, it might show up on our shores. I’m just more basing it being such a odd question.

I smell TROLL

Huh. Well, I guess I like the name “Mother” better. I was introduced to the series via that name, not “the EarthBound series.” That, and I think the title feels more appropriate. Eathbound kinda works in an 80s Sci-Fi way, but I think it’s too limiting. Mother can mean a lot more to a lot more people.

@PK Derp Haha, maybe they can just say they were actually paying homage to Louis Jordan’s Ain`t That Just Like A Woman.

I love how one of the options for anticipated games for the 3DS is “Martha Stewart.”

@BB
Martha Stewart was one of my choices totally. I also voted for the “top spin” under the MM3 category.

I picked mother
Martha stewart is the only game i’m looking forward to and i don’t even have a 3DS 😛

was serious about mother lol

?!?! no way. can this be the window of hope we’ve been looking for?… I took the survey and picked Mother :3

I’m glad I’m not the only one lookin forward to the Martha Stewart game, u guiz!!!!!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!

No Pikmin 3 for most looked-forward-to wii-u game? That’s the only wii-u game I’m looking forward to!

I refer to Mother 2 by “Earthbound”, but Mother 1 and 3 by “Mother 1” and “Mother 3”. As for which name I like better, I would go with Earthbound, since that’s my favorite of the three games.

Me and every other Mother/Earthbound fan would love to see the game get rereleased. But sadly thinking this survey is going to lead to that is just wishful thinking.

I think some people are confused, its not asking which game is better, its asking with title you prefer.

@PK Derp Johny B. Goodie was the one song, why not change it?

Johny B. Goodie was the one song, why not change it?

^ Also, sleeping at a hotel and the “Good Morning,” Big Ben Casey, Pippi Longstocking, Peanuts…

And by the way, even if you WERE to eliminate that one song, that leaves them with 2 battle themes throughout the entire game. And I’m sorry, but I don’t think that a lot of enemies fit either of the other two themes, and I doubt I’d welcome a new theme so soon.

Also Rosemary’s Baby movie. Possibly also The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Picking Mother since all three games have subtle meanings to “Mother” while only the first two games have to do with alien invasion so the titles “Earthbound 2” has little relevance to Mother 3.

I would like “Earthbound” to be the subtitles of Mother2 though 🙂

EarthBounddddddddddd

I’d go with both of them. They both give you the feel of the earth, and the point of the game. Literally you are bounding the earth, so i’d go with Earthbound 😎 . Also these results can be kind of neck and neck 😯

Hmmm. Hard to choose between the two names.

I noticed they didn’t have Super Smash Brothers in the anticipated games. I bet it’s because most people might buy it anyways.

I know this is a bad place but this article was posted on my birthday

I also picked mother =)

I picked MOTHER. I was serious. EarthBound would be nice too.

I picked EarthBound, simply because that’s the title I grew up with. But if they WERE to release a compilation or something (which would make sense as a reason to ask this, of course), I’m not too sure I’d care which they called it. That said, they already labelled Mother 3 stuff as “EarthBound” in Smash Bros. Brawl, so I think uniformity in this country would be a good idea.

MOTHER is what I picked.

I like to call it Earthbound because Mother sounds hmm… pervy? I guess

Ohhh man! I’m getting my hopes up!! I shouldn’t be… I’ll be in for a massive disappointment… but Mother 3… on VC… I’M GETTING MY HOPES UP!!!

EarthBound is a way better title. I just don’t get why they named it MOTHER.

Itoi Named it after a popular John Lennon song.
