[Nintendo Playstation]

6pm pacific, 9pm eastern tonight!!!

 

[Musolf815]

This is crazy! I really hope this means a Mother 3 remake...

 

[watershed]

Cool but I wish it was a remake and not a WiiU exclusive. I wonder if this is all Nintendo has in store for Earthbound or if there is more...

[Millsington]

Well that was unexpected!

 

[wbEMX]

BOMBSHELL HYPE

 

[Ecliptor]

They are releasing this so they can rename Mother 3 as Earthbound 3, obviously.

 

[Servbot24]

Sooooo it's just a port of a an SNES game? I don't get it.

 

[SalvaPot]

Be sure to buy this one so we can get Mother 3 people.

 

[Jomjom]

What about Earthbound Endings (Mother 3)???

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Wait wait wait, it's just a port?

 

[Ōkami]

Based Itoi.

 

[lewisgone]

I'm so happy. Buying this tomorrow. Feeling hope for Mother 3 someday but for now this is more than I expected. Such a shock, I had only just turned on the stream.

 

[Cbajd5]

rip in piece eshop

 

[Razmos]

What was the music that was playing in the background while the 3 people were sat on the couch talking about Earthbound Beginnings on the livestream? it sounded so familiar.

 

[Burning Justice]

Looks like they're using the EarthBound Zero translation, judging by what they showed.

Hopefully Mother 3 happens too...

 

[wild wild rice]

How is this game?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Unexpected... but cool!

 

[Firehead]

Thank you, Nintendo. I freaked the fuck out and scared my boyfriend. Holy fucking shit. They have me so fucking hyped now.

 

[Griss]

As cool as this is I'm not sure why you'd play Mother if you've played Earthbound. Very similar, by all accounts, but it's accepted that Earthbound is mile better.

Mother 3, on the other hand...

 

[Kinsei]

Sooooo it's just a port of a an SNES game? I don't get it.

An NES game that was never released outside of Japan. It's a pretty huge deal for anyone that doesn't like playing on emulators.

 

[Josh7289]

Does nintendo strike you as a company to sell a fan made translation?

No, but they're also releasing EarthBound 0. Things have changed!! haha

The translated version on the net was officially translated by Nintendo just never released.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, so it'll probably be the same!

[Rocky]

 

[Devilgunman]

So. What the heck is it? Direct port? Remake?

 

[TEJ]

Sweet mother of Christ. i'm off to buy a wii u point card

 

[Kalopsia]

NINTENDO WON E3. MIC DROP.

 

[EloquentM]

This is mother 1 on the vc guys. They are just localizing it. It's an NES game.

 

[Diprosalic]

An NES game that was never released outside of Japan. It's a pretty huge deal for anyone that doesn't like playing on emulators.

you will be playing on a emulator.

 

[amnesiac]

HOLY SHIT finally yessssss

 

[NeOak]

Oh it's just Mother 1 Euro release.

Well can OP at least edit that in. It's clear he wanted to be the first person to post it

lol no

It's the NOA translation that was completed but never released like others have said.

 

[pinkurocket]

I can't believe this!! But you know everyone wants Mother 3 Nintendo, PLEASE.

 

[SalvaPot]

The Nintendo World Championships just got a major bump on viewership, from 20k to almost 40k, damn.

 

[Aeana]

So. What the heck is it? Direct port? Remake?

It's the original game released on Virtual Console. Just like the myriad other Virtual Console releases.

 

[SarcasticD]

 

[Skulldead]

I don't know why everybody is so happy about that, the game was translate by nintendo 25 years ago... NINTENDO, no work was require to release this game. I'm supprise they never did it before.

 

[Joqu]

Holy fucking shit

Mother 3 next please, surely it can happen now

 

[Palette Swap]

Sooooo it's just a port of a an SNES game? I don't get it.

NES emulated game. No localization ever released before, hence the big deal.

I assume if they announce Mother 3, it will be only on WiiU VC.

 

[Sticky&Sweet]

"The Hippie draws near!"

 

[.JayZii]

That's pretty cool! I don't actually like the first Mother game that much compared to 2 and 3, but this should have happened a long time ago.

 

[AzureTranquility95]

Mother 3 will happen.

They actually are localizing this, Mother 3 is GOING to happen.

Oh my god.

They already localized Mother Zero ages ago, it's just been unreleased. Like Star Fox 2.

EDIT: Holy crap 4 pages. The fanbase may be small, but it sure is thirsty.

An NES game that was never released outside of Japan. It's a pretty huge deal for anyone that doesn't like playing on emulators.

Which is a pretty significant number of people, actually.

 

[King_Moc]

Ha ha, that's ridiculous. Longest time for a localisation ever? Well, better late than never I guess. And it probably means Mother 3 soon.

 

[Mr. RPG]

They really should have announced Mother 3 too.

 

[Phamit]

HOLY FUCK

Mother 3 is possible now

 

[MrSaturn99]
