Wii U MOTHER 2 Streaming Now!

Yes! I’m ready! 😀

I’m watching from Japan! Can’t watch for long though… Have to sleep.

I’m in the stream right now, and it’s great. Itoi showed up. To anyone reading this goahead and log on.

My body is ready

i literally just turned my laptop on and off because of the stream stopping internet explorer from working, and i could not close it.
please do me a favor and remind me in the next livestream to not watch it if your computer lags.

I missed Frank, and you are not going to fight hippies now. Is he using the same music?

Yeah, he is

I’ve asked the same question on Starmen.Net and it is unchanged. Next theme to check is Sky Runner.

Yeah, so far the game seems unchanged from the Super Famicom version. I’m looking forward to seeing if the Sky Runner music is changed, but at this rate I’m starting to not expect it to be any different.

Dangit Tomato, 7 posts in 2 days? 😛

Can I move to your area? PLEASE? Don’t mean to sound creepy though

Frank ‘s battle theme would’ve been very easy to switch out so about zero chance they would bother to alter the music in the Skyrunner scenes, not a good sign for EB on American VC.

Any changes in the game yet?

THEY DIDN’T CHANGE THE SKY RUNNER MUSIC?
WHATTTTTTT

Does the starting screen really say, “Don’t buy this if you’re in an English-speaking county?” Or were you guys joking? 😉

I still don’t know why people are making such a big deal out of the music. None of them are directly plagiarized, just sound-alikes (or samples, at the worst).

p.s. Anyone who thinks the Hippie music is reason enough to not rerelease the game should go look up “Rockin’ K.K.” on YouTube. Last time I checked, Animal Crossing wasn’t banned from a Western release.

Tomato and Co. got to the Sky Runner part and no Mother 2 has not been changed at all..

Do you think since the music wasn’t changed that we have any chance of getting a rerelease?

So just like old times, no chance this is getting past NOA’s lawyers unless Iwata basically says “I don’t care” and forces Reggie and Co. to release it.

I kinda expected that nothing would be changed.
Keeps me wondering why it wasn’t released earlier in Japan, though. I mean, the demo in SSBB was a clear hint at a planned Wii VC release, yet it took them almost 5 more years and one console generation to actually release it. Odd.

In any case, I’m glad I have my cart and player’s guide (with fully intact cards). But together they cost me $350 (no box) off eBay and with the way EB prices are now, a set like that could easily go for $150-200 more considering a cart by itself go for apprx $200. I’m a die collector with a gaming budget but obviously not everyone can do that, we really need the game on the U.S. eShop.

To clarify a bit on the price history, I bought that cart+guide set (without box) for $350 back in early May 2012.

Watching a bit right now, so Mato is the fellow in the Red hat? (sorry, I’m new 🙁 )

Watching right now, and I can’t hear anything.

Audio’s down

Is there going to be any documentation of the stream chat with Marcus that’s going on, there really should be this is some interesting stuff

I didn’t expect any real changes. These virtual console games aren’t ported so much as a ROM wrapped in a custom SNES (or video game console of your choice) emulator for the Wii U.

Also, Japan seems a lot more lax when it comes to this sort of thing, so I doubt they’d care one bit if someone decided to sue them for a sound-a-like or sampling of snippets of songs here and there. It’s the US that’s insane in that regard.

I’m hoping the sheer intensity of Itoi’s personality is able to bowl right past NOA’s concerned lawyers and into our hearts. … That was incredibly cheesy.

Aah, I hope someone will save the chat log! I just caught the very end of Marcus, and the Nico mystery was solved! I want to see the rest that I missed…

Since sky runner is the only thing NCL refused NOA to alter… Maybe we could ask the creator of the song it’s based off of to give NOA Approval?

Who owns the rights to whatever song the Sky Runner theme is based off of? In fact, what song IS it based off of? I wasn’t aware it was a homage to something…

Won’t Get Fooled Again by The Who

Just replace the Sky Runner song with the Runaway 5 bus music… but played in reverse. Better yet, just reverse yhe Skyrunner theme.

We should still fight to get the game released here. NOA needs to wise up and realize the game has a fanbase and stop pulling this copyright mumbo jumbo.

It’s pretty funny that the Japanese spelling of Ness, Jeff, and Paula is simply: Nesu, Jeffu, and Pola.

Of course, a native japanese speaker probably thinks the same about the english spelling of the names.

What a funny little pickle that is. Oh Ho! Wait, I mean what a funny little fuzzy pickle that is!

Yeah I really hope someone was able to get a log of the chat – I wasn’t in the chat to see all the cool stuff going on 🙁

That was fun. I look forward to the continuation.

i wonder if that was really Mr. Itoi?

Don’t worry, TragicManner’s got the logs:

I tuned out towards the end. How far did they get?

We got to Tenda Village but due to all of us crazy people having crazy schedules we decided it’d be a good idea to end it there, with a possibility of picking it back up again sometime in the future.

What the hell? Im not in that chat log at all but i was talking the whole time. Was I just talking to myself the whole time!? My name was Solidmgssnake but im not there even though I know for a fact i was talking at that point. 🙁

Anyway regardless I had a lot of fun and im happy you guys stopped at Tenda Village as that means i didn’t miss much at all.

@Mato I came in about halfway through, but from what I saw, it was a lot of yelling at the players for making mistakes, and Pokemon, and drawing requests. 😉

It WAS a blast, though.

I have more of the log with some more of the conversation with Mr. Lindblom when I am on my computer at home; I am thrilled to have been able to ask him some of those things.

One of the things he said that surprised me when I asked him if there were any lines he particularly liked or hated was that the “Super Ultra Mambo Tango Foxtrot Martial Arts” was one of his least favorite lines. I hope I still have that part of the log, because I thought it was really interest

@PK Derp I don’t remember you being there at that point… Maybe it didn’t go through?

@BB Gang Zombie I was definitely there at that point, i can even point out my absence between two posts. I was there before that and after that aswell, i even asked Marcus a few questions but he never replied, i just thought he was overwhelmed with other questions but i guess none of it got through -_-

Earlier i was experiencing stream delay but it gradually fixed itself, i guess the trade off was not showing up in the chat. Oh well, it was still a blast! 🙂

PK Derp–sorry about not answering your questions… it was a little overwhelming. There will definitely be some more chances to ask questions over the coming months. Seeing how dedicated the fans are to EB, I think it’s time to jump into the fan community. Hopefully you’ll be around for future Q&A sessions or whatever I have a chance to do…

@EBMarcus Oh it’s not your fault 🙂 To be fair the questions that did get answered were better. Hopefully i will be around and hopefully ill be around for the continuation of the live stream 🙂 In any case it was great to hear from you and i hope we meet again
