E3 hasn't even started yet, I wonder what Nintendo is going to reveal if they've already dropped so much stuff the past few days. This is kind of crazy.

I can't believe we're getting Mother 1 on VC. It just doesn't feel real. It's something people have wanted for so long and it's finally happening.

Everyone needs to buy that. Maybe, just maybe Mother 3 can happen.

Nah gently caress that, vanilla Mother 1 is super grindy. And we already have a good English Mother 3.

If theyve localised Mother then it's a fairly safe bet that Earthbound sold drat well.

They've localized Mother 1 back in the NES days, it's leaked under the name of "Earthbound Zero" a long time ago. It's probably just that.

Right when starting up after leaving the house I ran into an enemy named Wally who killed me in two hits.
Keeping in mind that you'll probably only be level 2 when you leave your house, that's sort of crummy.

Wally's pretty bad initially (I died with my first fight to him), but after a few fights with snakes and crows, I can take Wally on pretty handily.

Oh, I know that. I even bought a GBA flash cart when Mother 3 came out! I just like throwing money at developers and publishers when I can. Plus, the Wii U has Splatoon and Mario Kart, so there's that. It's just that the fact that Earthbound and EB: Beginnings are on Wii U are what's really pulling me towards it. I got Earthbound is my favorite game, and I got it as a Christmas present when I was 10, so I'm pretty much unable to be objective or rational about it.

It is. It was a really neat, different game when it came out, and it still has a good soundtrack, but otherwise it's just a really slow, grindy, boring game that I honestly don't recommend playing. Earthbound makes it look like total dogshit.

What shall we do with him? A permaban, perhaps? Probate him for a few years? Or...shall we employ a big red custom title? You, the goons of SA, shall decide his fate.
If they actually release Mother 3 in the West, they pretty much need to call it Earthbound Endings. Or Earthbound Ends.

Oh, and is Giygas still called Giyig in Beginnings, or did they change the name to line up with Earthbound? Does anyone know yet? Or is the game so unimaginably grindy that nobody will find out for days/weeks/months/years/geological epochs?

Cool. I've got all of those options available to me... just no New 3DS for whatever game(s) require that. I haven't played a Fire Emblem game (as Smash obviously doesn't count), and I'd like to do so. I guess I'd lean more toward just buying a 3DS or Wii U game (or an eShop VC game).
