Mother 3/EarthBound 2

I remember seeing Earthbound 64 in Next Generation magazine right after I bought an N64. I waited throughout the entire console cycle hoping for more news, and all that came was a cancellation. This had better come out here, I mean they already promised it like 10 years ago. Smash Bros. has made a lot of American fans who missed Earthbound curious about the series (I know I've had to explain to all of my friends at one point or another who Ness and Mr. Saturn are), so it could even be more well received than the SNES game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think it was mostly the game's quirky sense of humor and strange style. Between Apple Kid, a cult obsessed with painting everything and everyone blue was great, random aliens, bubblegum monkeys, and zombie infestations it was just an unusual game. Also, the North American release of Earthbound included a strategy guide and every picture of an enemy was a model done in claymation. That may not be much, but I always thought it was cool.

How ya doing, buddy?
