EarthBound Central Live: June 29, 2015

June 30th, 2015 | EarthBound, Itoi, MOTHER 1, MOTHER 3, Videos

We held another EarthBound Central Live stream last night, and it was lots of fun! If you missed it, don’t worry – you can now watch it on YouTube here!

There was almost an unintended theme to this episode – lots of fans had sent in e-mails about reproduction cartridges, how to spot legitimate EarthBound cartridges, EarthBound prototype cartridges, EarthBound Zero prototype cartridges, and more. So if you’d like to learn more about all that stuff, this is probably right up your alley!

For convenience, I’ve listed links to specific topics below. There were so many topics during the Q&A segment that I haven’t included links to each individual one, but if you get a chance, the gameplay segment of the episode is when the Q&A happens.
