EarthBound/Mother Discussion!

[Dudeman]

This can only lead to an Earthbound 2 announcement at the digitial event. Hopefully. Maybe. Pretty please? they even mentioned it last year come on nintendo

Smash makes earthbound seem vaguely interesting but everything else makes it seem kinda ishy

It's very similar to Pokemon so if you like Pokemon there's a good chance you'll like the EarthBound series.

I went and bought Earthbound: Beginnings. I still can't believe this happened.

[Olimar12345]

^Right? Now I can stop eBay-hunting a custom cart! d:

Let's hope Mother 3 comes here also! I've always wanted to actually play these games finally lol.

[Nebbles]

I actually think we might get Mother 3 now. I'm not hopeless anymore.

Well, the combat is kinda similar. Overall the gameplay is less complex, but it's the world around you and the character interactions that are the most appealing to me. the mr. saturns are just so silly I can't get over it

I insist on this:

"Oh Great another Mario game!!"
Mario Maker announced.
"GIVE US STARFOX!"
New Starfox game
"Come on Reggie, give us Mother 3!"
...?

Makes even more sense now that Earthbound Beginnings is finally released. Lucas just arrived as DLC, now this... It's a strange timing don't you think?

Oh and here's a message from Mr. Itoi:

[Nebbles]

I think it's a very possible thing. We just need to wait until tomorrow, man.

[Maelstrom]

Should I finish Earthbound, or play this first?

[KefkaticFanatic]

I've read Earthbound is just a better title and works fine standalone, but only in vague research.

[blueflower999]

As far as NES RPGs go EarthBound Beginnings is certainly up there, but it hasn't aged well compared to the later two games and you don't need it to play EarthBound because the story is only vaguely connected.

Also Itoi talking about his death is really sad, I love that man

[K-NiGhT]

I'm extremely excited for the possibility of Mother 3 finally coming to the West. The release of Earthbound Beginnings only further cements the hope in fans of the series.

I was expecting this to be their big announcement Tuesday.
Nope.
