As mentioned before, I’m prepping to move so I’ve been clearing things out and throwing away stuff that I don’t need anymore. Yesterday I stumbled upon some old notebooks and thought I’d share some pics. Here’s some stuff from my MOTHER 3 translation hacking notes. I literally have a notebook or two filled with stuff like this. I don’t need it anymore so I deci...Read More »

The other day on Reddit someone posted about how they started up an arcade of their own called “O-nett Gaming”. It looks like it’s an arcade that also lets you play/buy lots and lots of old console games too, so if you’re in Ottawa, IL anytime soon, maybe drop by 🙂 Check out the arcade’s Facebook page here and see a bunch of pics here! ...Read More »

I often get e-mails from people who’ve e-mailed Nintendo asking about EarthBound/MOTHER stuff, so I figure it’s about time to post something about it 😛 Alexander e-mailed me the other day with this: Hi EarthBound Central! I just recently asked the Nintendo Support team if Mother or Earthbound was going to be released at VC, and I pointed out that no other company has been sued for u...Read More »

Today’s batch of mini-updates comes not from 2009, but from the other end of the backlog – these are the most recent submissions! Ness Minecraft Skin CaliforniaRollz sent: Hey mato! I was able to make a Ness skin for Minecraft since I couldn’t find many on the net (One’s I found didn’t seem very appealing…). I thought you might like it! Peace! EarthBound Rem...Read More »

So last night I was chatting with someone and the question was brought up – you know how members of different fandoms have a name they go by? Like Star Trek fans have “Trekkies” and “Trekkers” (woe unto all who use the wrong one though…) and Doctor Who fans seem to go by “Whovians” and stuff like that? Well, what should EarthBound/MOTHER fans be cal...Read More »

I’ve been thinking of making a Facebook page for EarthBound Central for a while. I don’t really have any serious plans for it, but maybe I’ll come up with something. At the very least it’s another outlet for readers to interact and for fans to share stuff. Check it out here! Also, while I’m pimping that out, here’s a bunch of other stuff if you’re interest...Read More »

Travis sent this to me the other day, check it out: Through travel, birthdays, dating, engagement, marriage and now the expectation of a child- Earthbound keeps being brought to the surface in my life. In fact almost every month of 2011 I received some sort of Earthbound reminder. People who didn’t previously know about the Mother series are now aware of it because they know that I like it. ...Read More »

Rich sent me an e-mail the other day with this link: EarthBound Central in 2001 I never knew earthboundcentral.com had ever been taken before, I’m glad it was available when I chose it back in 2008! As I recall, EarthBound Central wasn’t even the original name I was going to go with, I just wound up choosing it sort of at the last minute. I wish I could find the list with all my old ...Read More »

A little while ago Adam sent this in: Ashly Davis, of “Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?” fame, has a new site called “How Video Games Saved My Life” where people can submit their stories on how video games have helped them. I thought this was a fantastic idea, since all too often we see video games demonized in the media…it’s nice to finally hear about all the g...Read More »

It’s no secret that I’ve horribly, horribly neglected the MOTHER 3 translation notes that I had been planning to do after the patch’s release. The truth is, I haven’t really played the game since then, I guess I realized I had overdosed on the game once it was all over 😛 Anyway, I feel bad for not doing better with the notes, so what I’d like to do as a temporary f...Read More »
