EarthBound / Mother 2!

[Amissapanda]

Great news!

Looks like we are getting both trading cards, and now the Mother 3 handbook reprint! I am so excited for the reprint!
Currently, they seem to be just under $20,000 from funding an Earthbound convention with just under 10 days to go.

That's fantastic! : ) I'm happy to hear it. I hope they'll make it to the convention stretch goal, but as it is, I'm really excited for everything they've already got coming!

It's not Earthbound/Mother 2, but it is Mother 4. Link contains good news yet some bad news.

I'm actually playing this game with my fiancee right now (one of her childhood games). It's my first time playing Earthbound and I'm loving it so far. I can't wait to play Mother 3. We're currently at Fourside.

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it! : ) It was definitely one of my childhood games, as well, with incredible nostalgic draw. I won't spoil anything for you, though. And Mother 3 is amazing and definitely worth a play! Enjoy!

It's all the way in America and I'm too young and ill to travel alone... The fact people have pledged over $8,000 shows dedicated the fandom is. Nintendo needs to stop ignoring us when we've donated collectively $200,000 for a project and people are creating a fan-made Mother Regardless, I'm looking forward to this so much

Is EarthBound any similar to Fire Emblem, you guys make it sound like it is. I will have to try it sometime

It's not quite like Fire Emblem... Well, it is an RPG with a similar type of combat system, so in a way, yes but also no. It's extremely quirky and adorable... it's made me laugh so many times with it's childlike style and humor. You're playing as a little kid, so all the weapons are base ball bats and yo-yo's, then you learn magic as you level up. I definitely recommend it, but it's a much different experience than any other game I've ever played before. Ah, I'm doing a crappy job at explaining it (sorry)... Just know that almost everyone who played the game ended up loving it and it's definitely a cult classic, so please give it a shot one day!

I think it's more similar to SNES Final Fantasy games, if you ever played them. Myself, and everyone on this thread can't possibly tell you how great this game is. Play it for start to end, and you'll love it.

Also congrats to Fangamer for reaching the 200k mark! Hopefully I can attend the convention! (Not likely though.)

Ohhh, okay. Thank you! I really want to try it now then. I really enjoy the way fire emblems combat style works, and since you said this game is similar to that, I will definitely give it a try!

It's not entirely similar, but both have basic RPG elements. Upgrading equipment, health-replenishing items, magic, etc.

Holy! They haven't stopped raising money. It's the last push.

So I wrote an article all about MOTHER and the fanbase. That article won me a copy of Super Smash Bros for Wii U, although I only came third in the article writing competition, I won the raffle. The article is here!

 

[PaperLuigi3]

I've played all of them thoroughly. Really the only thing I can say about it is...
Y NO COMEWENI-T ON TEABEETEA?

Just read your article. I thought it was very well written, researched, and done.

Edit: The kickstarter has been done for a few days now, and I figured I would inform all those who care, that Fangamer has raised a total of $306,127!

 

[Amissapanda]

I'm seriously SO PROUD of what they have done. That's an insane hurdle and they managed to fund three times as much as what their original goal was. That's downright incredible and almost brings a tear to my eye. I can't wait for all the merchandise and the convention and everything else that they're doing with the donations. It's going to be amazing! ;-;

Also---I read your EarthBound article too, and I really enjoyed it! You must have put a lot of research into it and it really shows. Congrats on winning and great job!

Bumping this, since apparently people didn't know there was already an EarthBound thread.

Also, I plan to start gearing up to redo my EarthBound let's play in the next month or two! I'm excited. : )

I haven't even got super far in the game but omg, I'd probably love seeing you playing it and all!!

I see what you did there. XD

I did play through it in a Let's Play already (3/4 or so of it), but my save data got corrupted (I was playing on emulator). Now that I have it on WiiU through the e-shop, I don't have to worry about stupid emulator issues anymore, so I figured I might as well just redo it in its entirety, since I never got to finish the first LP.

Since my first post in this thread, I've gotten a Wii U and bought and finished Earthbound. So much love for this game! I can't wait for Mother 4!!! :>
