[Classic] The EarthBound Series

This forum is for anyone who has played EarthBound Zero, EarthBound, or Mother 3. Personally, I thought all three were great. EarthBound was probably the weirdest and funniest RPG I ever played. Plus, it had that innovative HP/PP odometer. Mother 3 is also great, but considering I can't read Japanese, I had to use translations from random sites. EarthBound Zero was really fun, but the difficulty seemed pretty high. Then again, it started the great trilogy, so it deserves an honorable mention.

(Also, to fans who wanted Mother 3 translated, Starmen.net and Mother3.org are working on translations, seperately though.)

Who else here is a fan of EarthBound?

How ya doing, buddy?

(uploaded my new EB avatar, the Black Mage/scythe thing got old.)

I remember I bought EarthBound 1-2 months after its release. I liked it way more than the other RPGs I played, because this was sort of based on our time. It also had some of the coolest weapons ever (Not to mention some of the greatest characters.). The Magicant Bat, the Holy Frying Pan, the Gaia Beam, the Sword of Kings, they were all there. I also hope to see EarthBound on the Virtual Console soon. I'm also trying to find out the translation progress. And maybe one day, there will be a Mother 4, but Japan almost didn't get a Mother 3, so don't hold your breath in case...

ALSO: If you wanted to see a new EarthBound character in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, who would it be? If you have an answer, please leave it at the end of your post. Another thing, is that there's a possibility that Lucas might be in SSBB. (Although I want Paula in on SSBB, because PK Freeze would own.)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also, I remembered something from one of my folders...



I thought it would be Giygas after the Happy Happyists were through with him. It's not the best blue, but t was as close as I could get. Giygas was one hell of a screwed up end boss though, and when I was young, it gave me one or two good nightmares... I haven't really played EB0, considering I only got to the zoo.

Flint would kill with a 2 x 4, but what would his Brawl Power be? Ness would have PK Rockin (or Kiai), and Lucas would have PK LOVE, both have the same base, except Rockin is stronger.

How ya doing, buddy?

This thread makes me feel.... good.

It could be a while, Elixer. Also, the end of your post might not be taken correctly for those who've never played EarthBound, but who cares? It's Giygas!

Anyways, the translations have no release date, I haven't heard much on Starmen.Net's translation, but they've got progress posted on Mother3.org... Anyways, I've been playing it, up until Chapter 5 or 6, I can't remember. I'm stopping there until a translation's released, so in the meantime, I'm using PK Hack on EarthBound. Someone should create an EarthBound hack based on GFF...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

You'd have to imagine what state of mind an ordinary person would be in after an ordeal like that. I'd probably never speak of it again after something like that... (Ness had to deal with evil itself, Peach had to deal witrh getting rescued from a giant turtle with a spiked shell.) I think there was a hint that there was going to be another EB character in SSBB. Some random person also said Lucas should replace Ness in SSBB. No. Just, no.

Ness: The leader of the four. Most powerful. Has to be in.

Paula: Has nearly all PSI powers. Also has a frying pan.

Jeff: He's an inventor, and he's got a Gaia beam, and a bazooka. Do the math.

Poo: The only one with a sword and PK Starstorm. (You're right about Starstorm, PsychoJosh. They'd really have to emphasize on the seizure warning.)

Seriously, though, these characters are cool. Imagine Ness and Paula v. Mario and Peach. Bye, Team Mario.

Edit: Here's the picture I took after fooling around with PK Hack... Not really much changed except colors and character window graphics.


Ness for President, and King for Vice President of 199X.

How ya doing, buddy?

I think there's only the Demiforce translation, but I believe Tomato of Starmen.Net made his own translation in a .IPS patch. I think it was a graphics hack to put the original graphics back, and some translated text, although I don't really remember, sorry.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

This is in Mother 3, about the future of Pokey.

Spoiler:

He makes a comeback, in what looks like a new version of his Spider-Mech, to kill Lucas, Duster, Kumatora and Boney... He's in his classic blue overalls, but his hair is completely white along with a small mustache. Giygas, eliminated by Ness and the other chosen ones, is no-where to be found, and neither are they, considering Mother 3's timeline is way past their lives. The spider-mech is what has kept Pokey alive all these years, apparently. He also has robots that resemble his past self, except for the clothing.

I don't know if that's all correct, but if you know if anything's wrong in that, correct me just in case.

FELIPE NO

Someone's rendition of Mother 3 on the Wii. These photos are fake, but holy crap, if this was Itoi's rendition, NOA would be even more retarded not to bring this to us North American people.
