The Return Of Earthbound For GBA
warmgun writes "One of the biggest cult video game series ever is getting a second chance at stardom for a new generation. The games are the console RPGs Mother 1 and Mother 2. Mother 2 was released in the US as Earthbound on the Super Nintendo, and stars Ness, more recently known for appearing in Super Smash Bros. More info on the games and their currently Japanese-only GameBoy Advance re-release can be found at Starmen.net. Help the site convince Nintendo to release this gem Stateside!"
If you make a first post and no one is there to see it, then is it truly first?
Screen shots from the Mother 1+2 commercial.
Looks pretty much unchanged from the original NES version.
Dude! What the hell are you doing awake at 2:40 in the morning? Oh...errrr...never mind. Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant
Dude! You think everybody lives in your time zone? It is 17:40 here on the other side of the Earth.
Ahh there you go, now he is going to look up "timezones" on the internet only to discover that the earth is not only round but also rotates.
Hope your happy, you've just destroyed that AC's world
This is a technique that I perfected about a half hour ago. I was whacking off to porn porn and I was about to ejaculate. I was tired of grabbing dirty underwear to wipe the mess up, so I grabbed a burned cd that was bad. I neatly jizzed into one spot of the cd.
From fooling around with canned air, I learned that if you turn the can upside down and spray, this liquid comes out. It is freezing cold. This is what you use to freeze the jizz.
Something plastic, like a cd or a cd case works well. Blast your load onto the cd case. Grab the little tube that comes with the can of air and put it into the nozzle. Turn the can upside down and gently press the nozzle. You don't want to press too hard or you are going to blow the manbutter all over the place. You want to get droplets of the compressed gas on it. Once it has frozen the top layer of the blob, pull harder on the nozzle and blast it with the stuff. In seconds you are going to have a frozen chunk of semen. It is much easier to dispose of, or you do other things with it.
I seriously have tried this.. Really works
No need to wait for a US release. Gameboys don't have region coding so you can get the Japanese version through your favorite importer and play it on your US or Euro Gameboy.
Thoughts on stocks, markets and trading
Yeah, you can get it imported, but like any Japanese RPG, knowing the language makes it ALOT better, otherwise its not much fun.
...you think it will make more sense after it's been translated to a language you understand?
My favorite thing about these games was the music, by Hiro Tanaka (Metroid, Kid Icarus). Is that guy still making video game music??
There was supposted to be an Earthbound 3 for N64, but Nintendo scraped it.
Now there's rumors that the Earthbound title for N64 is going to hit gamecube.
Kind of like how Star Fox Adventures was originally an N64 title, but them moved onto the Gamecube.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo waited until their next console to release Earthbound, so all the fans would pick up the next console. Kind of like how Metroid skipped the N64.
For me, this is absolutely great news. The SNES version of Earthbound remains one of my all-time favorite RPGS, and video games in general. When I first heard rumors of a new one being made for the N64 I almost couldn't contain myself. Needless to say, I was more than disappointed when it was "cancelled." If they make an Earthbound game for the GCN, I will definitely buy it. If they re-release Earthbound for the GBA, I am definitely buying it. If they do decide to release the original Mother on the GBA over here in the states, I'm getting that as well.
Sorry you got modded troll replying to that AC post [which is why I posted AC *shrug*]. I would've given you an interesting/informative [if I had mod points], but the mods seem to have tanked the whole post and threads. :P
