I like these tributes. #earthbound

Also, I just want that shirt to wear on a normal basis. I'd easily pay like $15 for it, I don't want to pay $54 for it with all the other stuff :\

We have our Mother 3 release. It's a fan-translated ROM, and that's the most we're gonna get. Nintendo clearly sees no reason to go through with the effort of releasing their own version, and is purposely turning a blind eye to the fan translation and ROM distribution, as well as fan-made products like this costume pack and the Mother 3 guide, to show that we should just settle for the fan stuff.
Which, you know what, is fine by me. The fan translation is top-tier quality, as well as the guide for it. It's cool that stuff like this can be sold as well. #earthbound

Curious, did you do the same? Play it with the guide first, then the patch, or did you just use the patch? I'd seriously recommend giving the guide a go, and I'd be curious to see what you'd think of it in comparison to the patch. #earthbound

I myself have a giant backlog of games, and am currently playing Mother 1. Then I'll play Earthbound and actually finish it this time (played it a long time ago, got warped to a dark, neon city with crazy killer taxi cabs [Fourside?], saved it, then found out I wasn't strong enough to kill ANY enemies and I couldn't escape the area D: ), then I'll play Mother 3, probably with the above linked translation patch.
I'm late to everything due to my rather large game collection. #earthbound

Now that is pure awesome.
A shame nobody would bloody know who I am on Halloween if I wore it.
Also *insert generic comment about Nintendo not releasing it on VC* #earthbound

And by that, I mean more than just Earthbound.

The picture of the unpainted-statue (which seems to resembles chocolate, but if it were a chocolate figurine, I wouldn't eat it. Really. But, regardless, *licks lips*) somehow makes me hungry.
On a side note: "fuzzy pickles".
..that is all.

As far as why the game was never released, I see a potential problem with the 7... err, cross-dressers that play a rather pivotal role in the game, but beyond that there's nothing terribly objectionable. As I understand it, there has even been excitement amongst industry professionals over the caliber of work present in the game's translation.
All in all, it's a top notch guide and translation job, and all support possible should be given to the guys who made it happen. I think I'm done gushing.

by the by, is everyone else playing this on PSP, or where? i got a DS/GBA homebrew setup but i just like the screen there better.

Great game, by the way. And to answer your question, I played through it on my Wii through the homebrew channel. My choices were either on the Wii or my computer, and if I did it on the Wii, I had a better controller, my friends could watch, and I would be less tempted to cheat with save states. I loved Earthbound, but I think that this was even better.

Then, maybe Itoi-san can get back into the biz and make that detective game he wanted to make before MOTHER 3! ^__^

Brownie Brown, if I recall correctly, expressed interest in a trilogy cartridge. Nintendo, as per usual, has remained silent on the whole matter.
Edit for redundancy! I love this feature.
