Cool, cool, cool ... now the games please.
Alright loosing expectations
@Yanina What games? Hobounichi is the company of Shigesato Itoi, producer, director, writer and co-owner of Mother. He's only doing merchandise but he already said that he don't want to make new games because the story is already completed.
Again with the Earthbound Merch? If i wanted to know about non game related earthbound junk I'd go to earthboundjunk.com
If you got news on a new actual game I'll give a damn.
@Nemesis666 Mother 1-3 Collection on Switch
The notebook with all of the bad guys on it is pretty groovy.
Some nice stuff, wish I could get one of those Mr Saturn figures though!
Not interested... Wake me up when there is news about a new Mother game.
@jimtendog I think Smash is helping keep it's memory alive. But even if nobody knows what the game is, they're still nice, cute products that will sell.
Still never played Mother! I want to, but can't do it legally on my switch
@LatsaSpege Not on Switch, not legally unless you know Japanese,... But when they refuse to release the third game -even with the fan translation- after all this time, no one can complain when it's done illegally. Legality is no measurement of ethics, it only means that those seeking to profit and legally can, are profiting. And no one legally allowed to seems to want to grab that money, while there's a free translation...
@Noble_Haltmann you know I love mother but before I played it I thought they were like baby olimars or something! Totally look like something from pikmin when they are in 3d
We need an official EarthBound ruler and protractor
@Shambo You can legally buy an original Japanese copy, then download the game and translation patch and emulate it.
@Goat_FromBOTW And the developers won't see any of that money, it's an old game. Still, I have an original copy, and a patched rom on a cartridge, and a patched rom on my Wii (that I needed to softmod in order to play the games they don't make available here, like Project Zero 4, Kirby's Dream Collection, and Excite Bots, to name just a few, which I bought original but used. I don't owe them for what they didn't do, let alone that I'd pay import taxes and stuff), and DS (again, fan translations and overpriced games that weren't localised, but I spent a lot of time and money in those days to get original copies as well, if I wanted them. Never felt like I had to do it for any other reason. If they say "you don't want our game", I say "you don't want my money").
As Ness would say in Smash Bros... "Okay."
