To celebrate Nintendo’s 125th anniversary, IGN recently played a bunch of games and posted videos of them on YouTube. Here’s a look at their short MOTHER 3 video! Since they’re a big player in the industry they don’t use the translation patch, but they do discuss the fan translation and a number of other things. Also, holy crap, MOTHER 3 is already over 8 years old now �...Read More »

Longtime fans of Starmen.Net and/or EarthBound Central probably recall the name Stephen Georg/xfis – he’s the guy behind so many amazing EarthBound projects over the years. He was even part of Fobbies Are Borange, which was a radio play of EarthBound, as well as the EarthBound Zero spinoff, Loids Are Not Christmas. The thing about Loids Are Not Christmas was that Stephen hadn’t r...Read More »

Itoi’s live MOTHER 2 stream was a few days ago, and I’ve been very slowly trying to go through the entire thing and list stuff of interest. Except it’s hard to find time, so I’ve been listening to it in the background while doing other stuff. Here’s what I’ve jotted down on my horribly-handwritten notes, but if I’ve forgotten anything, please let me know i...Read More »

A nice fan e-mailed me the other day with some typo/error reports for the MOTHER 1+2 fan translation, so in the near future I plan to fix those and release an updated patch.

Now for some other questions: A f...Read More »

A few years ago the “Let’s Play” thing suddenly took off, and everywhere you look it seems like there’s a million Let’s Plays of every game imaginable. I often get asked to recommend some good EarthBound/MOTHER series Let’s Plays, but I’m sort of out of the loop when it comes to them, so I turn that question to you, loyal readers: What are some good EarthB...Read More »
