EarthBound in Nintendo Power 279

There was that poll….. do you think all the percents for MOTHER came from kenisu?

Wow two magizens with earthbound. Posted a day after the other one

2 articles in 2 days? Please be a sign of something to come.
I’d love for retrostudios to be working on something, but chances are slim to none for that happenning

Its cool to see two magazines articles in two days. Its nice how Nintendo acknowledged the game and something a fan made. I doubt it, but really hope these articles are trying to hype the game because of a rerelease. Maybe I’ll call Nintendo later asking about the game, to see if they say anything different than normal.

I’m 95% sure they mean the actual title of the game, otherwise they would have asked “which game is better?”

Man oh man this kinda got my hopes up but yea that mr. Saturn this is pretty cool

Yeah I think it was which title was better.
I voted Mother, but it was obvious people were going to choose EarthBound due to nostalgia 😛

I’m in the “title, not game comparison” group for sure. And I did vote EarthBound…but I think the naming is complicated. If they ever released a compilation, I’d want it to be called the EarthBound Collection, but I’d still want Mother 3 to be called Mother 3. Yeah, weird, I know. But EarthBound remains the only title the series is OFFICIALLY known as in America (complete with Mother 3-related things in Brawl being labeled “EarthBound”), and I think they should keep that as the MAIN brand, while still eventually acknowledging the “Mother” title as well.

If I ever had to choose between the name or title for either, I’d have SO much trouble deciding. XD

Hah, I remember taking that poll. I see my choice won very clearly. Also, it seems my favorite Sonic character also won!! 😀 Anyway, I doubt this really means anything for us. EB was at the top of the Most Wanted for VC for… A bunch of times. Of course, there’s the legal trouble. If they made a re-make of all three for a compilation, they would be able to change all of those things that they’re worried about. I personally wouldn’t mind that at all to have all three in English, even if it’s all kinds of censored up.

^ I never really got to the point. D: I don’t think Nintendo Power really has much to do with Nintendo anymore. I mean, Nintendo isn’t even publishing it anymore (another company is). But, of course, I would die of excitement if they announced what we’re all hoping for.

Would be amazing if this is a sign of something. Please give us Mother love Nintendo!!

There is NO chance that this would be to hype up fans for a re-release Nintendo will NOT release earthbound again and i am fairly sure about it…

Am I the only one who likes MOTHER more than EarthBound?? >.>

@eb freak you are right. Nintendo won’t re-release earthbound mainly do to copyright problems and they lost money on the game.

Well, Eb Freak, I’m glad you settled that matter for us. Now everyone can stop hoping and get on with their lives.

When you took the poll itself it said, “Which title is better?”

If I were to name the earthbound games I would name them Mother, Mother 2, and Mother 3 just for the sake of consistency. The catch is that I would name all three the “Earthbound Trilogy” 😛 It makes sense when you think about it and clears up confusion. Of course people would still call Mother 2 earthbound but it wouldn’t cause to much confusion.

Also anyone else notice earthbound making a comeback lately?

Plus people we have all the games in english so who really cares if it isnt released by the big cheese..

Because, eb freak, wouldn’t it be nice to have affordable, physical English copies?

Can i have that

and ya eb freak there is no way i can afford to go to japan to get mother 3 and mother 1 & 2 (i know its plus but i don’t know where plus is) then fly back and put the english patch on the japanese version btw i don’t use ebay

HEY! I made those earthbound containers that were in Nintendo Power.. and am sad that they put no address to my blog or etsy store =(

Buut I really do exist! the wii game container is for sale on my store and I enjoy making many many game related containers =D
