I have no idea how likely or unlikely this is at this point, but I hope Nintendo can make it happen regardless.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-89330162574182050902013-03-21T11:32:38.182-07:002013-03-21T11:32:38.182-07:00I'm the kind of guy who calls it "Mother ...I'm the kind of guy who calls it "Mother 2" so I don't have to try and fail to pronounce the word "Earth".<br /><br />First played and finished it on a emulator back when Mother 3 (which I have a cartridge of) was being fantranslated. I've been replaying it every now and then in my Android smartphone.<br /><br />I don't really have any memories worth writing about in regards to Earthbound, but it is indeed a cool game with clever gameplay mechanics and plot points, so I hope the Wii U version gets released in the west sometime.Hyper Emersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-30397067310011757732013-03-14T15:40:49.563-07:002013-03-14T15:40:49.563-07:00I don't think that's a sad story, Triserat...I don't think that's a sad story, Triseratops--especially since it involves you enjoying the hell out of EarthBound :)thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-89881786287728029512013-03-14T15:07:52.862-07:002013-03-14T15:07:52.862-07:00Retr0gamer got me to play it, it's definitely ...Retr0gamer got me to play it, it's definitely one of my favourite games so really happy to see more people play it. <br /><br />Afternoons in college my classmates wanted to go drink and kinda got left out.

A remake that makes the characters, enemies, items, etc., look like they're made out of clay--like they do in the game's manual.<br /><br /><br />As for Fantasy Life: you and I can be the western world's two-person "Fantasy Life Supporters Club" :) Seriously, though, here's hoping it's released outside of Japan--and soon!thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-54866367549780785132013-03-13T04:50:15.217-07:002013-03-13T04:50:15.217-07:00Oh I hope there will be a remake someday!

It's one of the games I can't stop think about (nearly as much as I think about Animal Crossing NL) and search every day for good news about it.Lizzihttp://twitter.com/Dead_Melodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-19183536614156188852013-03-12T08:34:32.506-07:002013-03-12T08:34:32.506-07:00I always forget that you Europeans never got this ...I always forget that you Europeans never got this game. How sad :(<br /><br />I have a feeling, though, that if we ever get it again -- via 3DS or Wii U VC, for instance -- you will, too. The question is: will we ever get it again?<br /><br /><br /><br />As for that news that Australia's supposedly getting Fantasy Life later this year: I hope it's true.

No. I played through a good chunk of the game back in my teens, and I put a small dent into it during a second attempt a few years ago. This time, though, I'm going to make it all the way through--no ifs, ands or buts!<br /><br /><br />I have to admit that I think it's kind of nuts that I didn't finish it during either of my previous playthroughs, as I completely loved what I experienced each time. <br /><br /><br />Of course, I've done the same thing with other games I've loved over the years: the first Dragon Quest, Pokemon Black/White and Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light among them.thegaygamer.comhttp://www.thegaygamer.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-2341988720715837232013-03-11T20:26:20.797-07:002013-03-11T20:26:20.797-07:00Is it your first attempt at a full playthrough?Is it your first attempt at a full playthrough?Jyrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-21951629981129080732013-03-11T11:51:51.761-07:002013-03-11T11:51:51.761-07:00Oh, yes, Justin, I remember you saying you're ...Oh, yes, Justin, I remember you saying you're a bag EB fan. And, really, how can anyone not be? I'm sure some can't stand the graphics, of course, but those folks aren't really worth worrying about, are they? Anyway, I'm loving it so far.

The art style is flawless; the story is dynamite; the characters are fascinating and hilarious. I don't know of a single flaw. Honestly.
