Oh Goodie, Another Mother Statue
Camille Young's handmade, resin statues are exquisite. But she doesn't just make 'em for Mother 3 handbooks! Oh no. She makes them for previous games in the series as well. More » -

Exquisite Mother 3 Statues
Since Americans can't even get their hands on an official version of Mother 3 the game, there's no hope of seeing much official Mother 3 merch. But unofficial merch? Knock yourselves out. More » -

This Might Be Why We Don't We Have EarthBound On Virtual Console Yet
A rumour popped up today on Starmen.net claiming that Earthbound would never, ever be released on Nintendo's Virtual Console. Made vague mention of potential lawsuits. But lawsuits from whom? Let's take a look. More » -

Mother 3 Handbook Will Blow Your Baby Blue Socks Off
What's the perfect companion to the new Mother 3 English-language translation? Why, this unofficial Mother 3 handbook. It's a guide. Made by fans (Fangamer & Starmen). It's a Mother 3 book. It's a work of art. There's professional printing, there are over 200 pages, and there are even clay model replicas of the game's characters sprinkled throughout for colour. Amazing. The book will be released free online next year, but at $20, the tangible product seems a much better investment. More » -

ESRB Rates EarthBound For Wii VC
Here's one future Wii Virtual Console update I cannot wait to write up. The ESRB has recently posted a rating for the classic Super Nintendo RPG EarthBound for the Nintendo Wii. The sequel to the Japanese-only game Mother, the game tells the story of Ness and company as they fight to gather the powers of the Earth to defeat the evil alien Giygas. With a compelling humor, an original setting, and some damn fine graphics for a Super Nintendo game, EarthBound is widely considered to be one of the greatest role-playing games of all time...and now it is rated E for Everyone. There really is only one reason an older game gets a Wii rating via the ESRB, so expect EarthBound to arrive on the Wii Virtual Console sometime in the near future. More »
