  • THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES STAND UP TO NINTENDO EARTHBOUND IS THE BOMB

  • Isn't there an exception for copyright laws for parodies? Well Earthbound is a parody of America in the 90's so...

  • Why did Ness try PK Love?

  • @cmsdgeekadmin Because Spriter's Resource (at the time, at least, maybe things have changed) only had rips of Mother 3 attacks, nothing from EarthBound.

    It's close enough.

  • I don't get why they won't make the smart business approach and release a quality game. There is a petition for Majora's Mask for the 3DS, and I completely support it, but if they get enough signatures, it will probably be released. If we were to make a petition and get more than they do to translate MOTHER 3, they would ignore it. If you ask NOA, no matter what you say, they say that they don't have plans to release it at the time. Even if you ask for them to actually listen to their fans.

  • Maybe You can dub this as the official music video!

  • there is nothing more devoted then earthbound fans...if they can put ness and Lucas in brawl then they can sure as fuck release the same fucking game,change all the copyright issues and sell it on vc wii or wii u,I don't even care if it's on 3ds!just re-release it,remake it,make another 1 something!

  • @thefrownwillgetu Their lawyers are paid to keep Nintendo out of trouble, not to win lawsuits if they get in trouble. So, they can't release Earthbound on the VC unless they make changes which you mentioned. But, Nintendo of Japan didn't want to make those changes, because pop-culture references are what make the series. Itoi wouldn't be happy to find out his game was completely different than it should be.

  • Mother 3 in English- As likely as snow in summers.

    *goes to PK Hack*

  • That was awsome

  • The only thing I didn't like was the Zelda thing. But I'd have twilight princess never created for EB. (TP was horrible though)

  • @princessZelda089 As I've said before, that was never my point.

    I wasn't saying Nintendo shouldn't make those other series at all, just that if they can afford to churn out half-assed titles from them, they can and should instead dedicate that part of their budget towards the release of quality games from other series.

    But the point is moot, a lot has changed since this video came out. The copyright issues weren't common knowledge, it just looked like NoA was being a jerk.

  • why dosnt nintendo just change the music. i know it will dissapoint the fans but its better than nothing

  • @parkourafterschool

    That was what NOA were going to do but when they showed Itoi all the changes he said "No." And I can't blame him, he put alot of work into it and they wanted ALOT of changes, it wouldn't be the same with a different Onett theme and different hippie theme.

  • There are copyright issues with the games in America! That's why! I'm getting tired of seeing videos where people think Nintendo is just being stupid. They don't want to be sued

  • @supertrogdorman5252 There ARE copyright issues, but ONLY with the first 2.

    There's nothing stopping them from bringing Mother 3 here. And if they'd just pay the royalties to those people they're so afraid of being sued by, there would be no problem with the others.

    I know the score. What's more, I made this video nearly 3 years ago. Back then, the copyright issues weren't common knowledge. All we had to go on was Reggie's stubborn belief that the series would be unprofitable in the west.

  • @supertrogdorman5252 I've actually seen a lot of videos on the music copyright issues. Frankly, if you want to see flagrant copyright violation, go to the first Sonic game. About all six zones have a songs that samples from some pop music of the time, and it's been released dozens of times. Earthbound/Mother was not the only franchise to do this.

    Although, I don't see why they couldn't just mix up some of the songs or rewrite a few things...

  • BUCK UP SOLDIERS

    WE HAVE A WAR TO FIGHT

    GET YOU BASBALL BATS, MULTI BOTTLE ROCKETS AND FRYING PANS(for the girls) WE WILL STORM NINTENDO HQ AND DEMAND EATHBOUND AND MOTHER 3

  • @shadowboy8456 Don't forget Mother 1, sadface. )=

  • @princessZelda089 sorry bro

    ALSO GRAB YOUR MAGIC SWORDS

    AND WE WILL DEMAND THE WHOLE SERIES

  • @shadowboy8456

    YES. DEADLY OREO CANNON!!

  • @princessZelda089 ARE YOU READY SOLDIER?

  • @princessZelda089 YES

    NOW LETS GET GET SOME MORE RECRUITS

  • @shadowboy8456

    Yes. Perhaps we could side with Porky until all of them are relased. I'm sure they'll be afraid of a fat child in a deady spider robot.

  • @princessZelda089 no offence but porky is a fat ass in a bot the can be taken down with baseball bats aan such

  • @princessZelda089 id prefer not to cuz ness is siding with us

  • @princessZelda089 Porky is the leader of Nintendo of America along with Giygas. They are why this game isn't released...

  • its true thoug mario and link are poplur anuf let some one elese shine

  • HEY! why isnt Lucas, ninten, and there partys in this video?

  • @turtwig2mudkip I don't put EBZ characters in my videos because that's bit mixing (putting sprites of different resolutions in the same image, in this case, 8 bit and 16 bit). Though perhaps, I may put the custom M3-style EBZ sprites in a future video.

    Technically, putting M3 (32 bit) and EB sprites together is also bit mixing, but it doesn't look like it because Mother 3 was designed to look like an SNES game. M3 characters aren't in this video, but I did include Lucas in FamilyBound 3.

  • I (PK) LOVE the Mother series, and the best thing that could ever happen to America is if we get them here!

    But come on guys, if they stopped Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda, that wouldn't mean any Mother games would get onto VC (actually it would just bankrupt Nintendo)

    I think Nintendo's afraid that this just won't sell too well in America. i mean, cuz all people wanna do around here is see how many heads they can blast off in the exact same games over and over again. they don't want new things :(

  • @breloom657 The point I was trying to make with this video was not that Nintendo should stop making those series, just that if they have the budget to churn out half-assed titles from them (just off the top of my head: Pokémon Rumble and Link's Crossbow Training), then they could and should use it to instead give the Mother series a shot.

    Believe me, I'm the last person in the world that wants them to discontinue the main Pokemon series. I have every intention of buying White when it comes out.

  • @TBustah yeah i figured the video wasn't saying that lol, however, i said that mostly because of some of the comments i've read here

    and yes, i agree that nintendo should stop making stupid spin-offs that no one plays, like mario party or pokemon channel and stuff like that

  • @breloom657 they dont care for awesome mother3 plot

  • All Mother/Earthbound fans should start a conspiracy like this one, and get nintendo's best franchises in america. (Mother 3, Earthbound zero)

  • I think that Nintendo is starting to get ignorant (if EVEN SEGA heard their fans and made the classic Sonic come back, why Nintendo can't re-release a 90's GREAT classic worldwide? '-_-).

    *calls in all of EB fans* Let's CRUSH'EM! >:(

  • YEAH! We're NOT gunna take it! Get ready Nintendo!

  • Hey! Nintendo! You thought your fannase wasn't big enough? Sure is now! -rallies up EB friends and joins protest-

  • I'm not gonna take it!!! *tells friends*

    But I will take the game though... GIVE US THE PK ROCKIN' EARTHBOUND OR I'll PK FIRE YOU FOREVER NINTENDO! *thumbs up*

  • SPREAD THE WORD GO TO ESRB AND SEARCH EARTHBOUND!!!!!!!

  • 16 ppl from nintendo thumbs this down

  • @Lucasrio100 16 people SUCK!

  • Why Nintendo? O.o

    GIVE US NESS AND LUCAS NOT MARIO AND LUIGI >_<

    Preety please with a teddy bear on top? :D

  • YES! WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT NINTENDO!!!!

  • Why does everybody hate nintendo all of the sudden. they WANTED to release this in the U.S. but the couldn't due to legal issues. blame the law not nintendo.

  • @Gameshark744 They're only using that as an excuse.

    The only legal issues involve some of the content in M2/EB, the holders of which are making claims on. If Nintendo would just give those people their royalty money, they could release the game on VC, and make it back in no time.

    And there's absolutely NO reason that they can't release Mother and M3 worldwide. They just don't want to give the series a chance because they don't think it'll sell a million copies on release day.

  • @TBustah still, don't you and everybody else think its a little late to release it in the U.S since earthbound was released for snes over 10 years ago. don't get me wrong, i love mother 3, but even if the game is released, it would have to be on DS or be on a wii channel. otherwise, the game would be a fully 3d rpg cuz mother/earthbound graphics aren't exactly impressive. And to the general public with no nostalgia whatsoever, it won't sell very well. i still love the game though :D

  • @Gameshark744 Of course it's not too late to release an old game like EB on Virtual Console, that's what the VC is FOR!

    Though you do make a point about M3, and it's one that has crossed my mind before. Though there's technically no reason that they can't release Gameboy, GBC, or GBA games on VC (if they can do N64, they can do GBA), they have yet to do so. In the case of GBA games at least, it's possible that they feel it's too soon, or that they couldn't/shouldn't compete with GameStop.

  • @TBustah virtual console has been confirmed for the 3DS, it will have gb, gbc and gba games. THERE IS HOPE!

  • @Gameshark744 If that was true, it would be too late for them to make Megaman 9, and Megaman 10. However they did and it was a huge success. Earthbound has gotten a lot more popular than it ever was during SNES times because of it's appearance in the Super Smash Brothers series. Mother 3 would sell easily, especially since Nintendo could put it on the VC. No cartridges = no cost per unit and no production required. They simply buy the rights they need, and sell it digitally.

  • @Slaven152 Indeed, especially since they 3DS is going to have it's own VC service with Gameboy games. I suppose there's nothing stopping them from releasing Mother 3 on the Wii, but I could see them putting it on the 3DS instead.

    Anyway, I have renewed hope for this series: Stephen Georg (of Fobbies are Borange and /EarthBound fame) just became a YouTube partner. This means we have somebody who can go to bat for us that will probably be featured on YouTube's main page at some point in time.

  • @TBustah

    It Has Music in It thtat would go Through Copyright infrigment. Like the NK Cyborgs theme is similiar to MJ's Beat It. If nintendo Brough Mother 3 into america they would be sued. Same thing Would Happen if they had earthbound on VC. I Dont Know about earthbound Zero/Mother Though... :P Also That Guy At 0:00 Looks Almost Exacley The Same As Me... XD

  • @jessmann007 Then I suppose you and I must look somewhat alike.

    That guy is supposed to be me.

  • 2nd best video on YouTube

  • too bad this didnt work

  • LETS SPAM NINTENDO WITH THIS STUFF!

  • I AGREE WITH THIS!!! SEND THIS VIDEO TO NINTENDO!!!

  • Whose mother died ness or lucas? BTW I know who killed the mother.

  • @MarioKartWii100 lucas

  • argh.... i dont care if .... Lucas is a wuss just shut up about it D: i hear enough for being a mother fan xD

  • fail

  • U know... Nintendo might actually make a lot of money outta makin mother 3 in English cause people these days are starting to get a lil bored of the usual pokemon and Mario. I mean, all they do is just reuse the same stuff over and over again. It would be a good change to make mother 3 in English!

  • I think Nintendo is just being a JERK because they dunno what to RATE it because it CUSSES. BUT who really CARES? WE want MOTHER 3!

  • if nintendo had to cancel a game just to get mother 3 here in america id gladly let them do it

  • "Mario part 562" xD

  • I just imported Mother 3 from japan.I wanna get it in English legally!

  • @SmashSisterSam well since u own the game u have a liscence to get a rom with the patch from tomato legally

  • @SmashSisterSam a legal english copy doesn't exist and Nintendo doesn't seem to want to make one, it's there loss, if they don't want your money, then don't give it to them.

  • Mario goes to the dentist?!?!? MUST BUY 8 COPIES!!!

    jk.

  • @flamewyvern And we really need another Mario Party! I mean I don't understand how those things keep selling, my cousin has Mario Party 2 and every one I've seen is exactly the same, so why buy the same game 20 times? Because we're idiots, that's why Nintendo gave us a re-hash of Oot with a plot that doesn't make much sense (Twilight Princess) instead of an innovative and emotional story like Majora's Mask or Link's Awakening.

  • ~~~~ Nintendo Disapproves of This Video~~~~

  • we're not gonna TAKE IT! why? because, Nintendo made Lucas look like a CRYBABY in brawl! and so, everyone in the U.S. of A. has no IDEA what Lucas is about!

  • They made him LOOK like one? In Mother 3, he WAS a crybaby, at least at first. They explicitly referred to him as such several times in the game's text.

    But I certainly agree that the way he conducted himself in Brawl didn't help the Mother series' image.

  • yeah, for less than half, he was! brawl made me frown at how they depicted the mother series :(

  • @TBustah At the begining he was, by the end he MUST of been brave, he took on Porkys ARMY!

  • @TBustah OK, IM SORRY, NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE, BUT SHUT UP! HE LOST HIS MOM! HIS MOM! AND HE SAW I HAPPEN! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND YU WOULD BE CRYING OR A CRYBABY TOO IF YOU SAW YOUR MOM DIE?!

  • @kikikara99 I'm not saying the kid had no reason to cry, just that Brawl made him look like a total wuss. And M3 specifically said he was a crybaby several times, I'm not pulling that name out of thin air

    Brawl did not do the character justice. Lucas started out as a bit of a wimp, but through the hardships of his life, he became stronger. He even ended up saving the world.

    Beleive me, I was even more of a crybaby when I was little than he was. I'm in no place to judge him, and I'm not.

  • @TBustah ...oh. and srry, didnt know caps was on. xD anyway, just saying, this is an AWSOME sprite vid. Woo! Addition to Faves!

  • @TBustah I look back at my comments from so long ago and realize how stupid I sounded T_T

    Sorry about that~

  • @kikikara00 S'all good.

  • @TBustah i think the brawl version of him is supposed to be his young self not the teenage one.

  • @subata45 I suppose that's a possibility, but considering the fact that he's about the same size as Ness in Brawl, I kind of doubt it. Ness is supposed to be about 13, and they were designed by the same people.

    Plus, Lucas didn't have any of his powers when he was little, remember?

  • I think Mario and link had enough attention!!!

    I mean, It`s not like its some LJN game that sucks balls, its friggin mother!!!!

    Whats even worse, is that nintendo is ignoring there best work!!! Who`s with me?

  • i want to played mario party 562

  • AWESOME!! do one on making earthbound for wiiware

  • I has mother 3 hacked into my Wii

  • Lol Nintendo took over the Monotoli building.

  • Get lost.

  • @0B4M4

    have u ever played any of the games?

    If not. Then get lost

    BTW Best Earthbound Tribute evr

  • i'm so gonna buy mario goes to the dentist lol

  • You seem to be one among many.

    Maybe I need to capitalize on it's popularity somehow...

  • This makes me want to kill Regie 10 times more :D

  • Actually, NoA LIKES the MOTHER series. We just need Itoi to realize that to release MOTHER to Japan's VC, he's gotta change some stuff. That way, America AND Japan can have it.\

    THANKS TO:

    DSFreak800 (my close friend.)

  • P.S. Call 1-800-255-3700

  • Too complicated. All we have to do is orchestrate a few hits on the copyright holders who's legal issues prevent the game's rerelease. But some of you may think murder is not the answer. To those people I say this: One of these legal issues is over the 'DALI'S CLOCK' enemy in Moonside. The artist is dead and rotten, but the holders of his estate were up in a snit over it.

    The major snag in this plan is that this also means we'd have to off the Beatles. Not comfortable with that aspect.

  • Really? I had no idea that the Beatles were making claims.

    The only time they're even explicitly referenced is that "Beatles song: xxxersday" part, the rest (the yellow submarine, the visit to Stongehenge) are either vague or don't actually mention the group.

  • Legally, probably all they'd have to change to please Paul and Ringo would be to change that bit of text (the "xxxterday" part, that is, perhaps along with the "don't care" names in Mother 2, which are actually the first names of Yoko Ono and The Beatles) and maybe remove those sampled bits of "Sgt. Pepper" and "All You Need Is Love".

    The only change that I see as big deal would be the Onett theme: it samples "Two Of Us". And not just a small portion: it's part of the chorus.

  • I can understand why Itoi would refuse to let Nintendo make that change, it's a pretty big deal considering it the theme of Ness's hometown.

    The Beatles should just let Nintendo use it. Maybe make them pay for it, but it probably wouldn't be so much that Nintendo couldn't make a profit.

    I'm actually gonna have to side with the holders of Dali's estate, though: he's only been dead for 20 years. If they were only making the claim on the name, Nintendo could just rename it "Melting Clock".

  • IMO, we should get our Baseball bats & yo-yos and we should show them... uh... our "fighting game skills." >:D

  • Lol a MOTHER boycott. I WANNA JOIN D<

  • Who's boycotting it?

    You shouldn't let Nintendo's stubborness from playing these great games.

  • The mother games ESPECIALLY mother 3 are the best games ever and they never made it past the gba?! and yet crappy mario and link games DO? You've never played a videogame until you've played mother 3 let me tell you. the only videogame that made me laugh my head off out loud and made me actually cry at the end. PWNAGE.

  • Mario Goes to the Dentist? I'd play it Xp. Anyways, the creator said there's not gonna be a mother 4. I guess if somebody else decides to make one he said itd be fine, but i find that improbable.

  • i wish they released it in the us and made mother 4

  • I'm not mad.

    In fact, since the release of the fan translation of Mother 3 last year, I really don't even care anymore. All three games in the series are playable in English in one form or another, (and I've already beaten them all), so it really doesn't matter if Nintendo releases them or not,

  • I say we should all get our baseball bats and yo-yos and PK Rock Nintendo's world.

    Give Mother more love Nintendo! <3

    We dont want more Mario or Link!

    We want to see Lucas and a Mother 4 in America! <3

  • that's the spirit! :D

  • @FireFox266 Hey don't be dissing Link! >:[]

    But by all means make fun of mario, he was only fun in SMB 1-3

  • @FireFox266 Give Us Mother, Or Give Us Death!

  • @FireFox266

    So your saying only america deserves earthbound?

  • @FireFox266 Duh EB/MOther needs more love. That was the whole point of Mother. The Eight Melodies' lyric's are "Take a Melody Simple as can be Give it some words and Sweet Harmony Raise your voices all day long now love grows strong now sing a melody of love ooooh love."

  • @FireFox266 Shigesato said that he's not making Mother 4. But it makes no sense, because in Mother 3's end it says "END?".

  • @legojimmie Try to walk on the screen where it says "END?" and see the true ending to MOTHER 3

  • @7ruthie I know that part but still he did add a "?" to it on the first point.

  • if only it was that simple

  • interesting idea, but Nintendo does know what the deal with things like this are. The reason that Mother isn't on the VC for one thing is because Nintendo is attempting to clear up a copywright issue, one that's pointless but is being used to hold them back. I've also been told that Nintendo actually wants to make a movie serial to all Nintendo franchises that will actually be the backstory at the next generation of their games. (so there should be either mother 3 or 4 released then.)

  • nintendo dosent realise that there killing there rpg series dam

  • this vid should've won the contest!

  • Thank you, but I dunno about that.

    There was some pretty amazing stuff out there, like Unfounded Smashing, and Elfkitty's rendering of Giygas's lair.

    Besides, the winners were chosen by view count, not quality.

  • yeah... if it was choosen just by pure awsomeness i think it would've won even though there was good stuff out there!

  • actually, they said that it was chosen a bit by quality, because one person spammed view count, and put it on so many sites, and it got 50,000 some views, but it wasn't that great, so it didn't win :P

    nice vid btw.

  • all in here is so true, but why stop by mother 3? i won´t be happy until i see Mother 562, joke

    But seriously at least realese Earthbound on virtual console

  • this is the only video on youtube with "wear not gunna take it" lol..

  • pokemon magikarp edition and mario goes to the dentist, tru classix

  • Great job, I was sure you would have won a Fobby, at least.

  • I didn't.

    Got an honorable mention, though.

  • that's still pretty nice for that many videos! :)

  • WE NEED MOTHER 3!! Seriously, they think it won't sell, but it will! I mean, look at Fire Emblem, that caught on quick because of Marth and Roy in Super Smash Brothers Melee. Now we have Ness and Lucas in Brawl, and still no Mother 3. GET WITH IT NINTENDO!!!!

  • So did you made that video for newgrounds

  • Are you referring to that King and I thing with EB sprites?

    No, that wasn't me. That actually preceded the first FamilyBound by a few years, but I didn't know about it until the series had launched.

    I was actually kind of bummed when I saw that short. It meant I wasn't the first to combine EB graphics with FG audio, and it was also a lot better animated than anything I have done.

    But I guess I was the first to Family Guy audio and ONLY EB sprites, that guy used some FF stuff as well.

  • Mario Party 562 LOL

  • Want to see some more.

    Subscribed.

  • brought back some memories, I saw twisted sister years ago..

    great video..

    The Mad Bomber..

  • if only this were so..

  • I'm LateNightCat and I approve of this video

  • Mario goes to the dentist XD

  • YEA I JUST GOT THE ROM FOR MOTHER 3 AND THE TRANSLATION FOR IT

    its the best.

    ever.

    in the world.

    EVER!!!

  • i really wish that they would release mother 3 in english so i dont have to watch people play it on the internet... Even if the fan translatrion is out.

  • What's the problem? Can't find a rom?

    I can send it to you, I suppose.

  • that would be nice but my computer is super slow and so is my internet

  • Hey wait, you live in Dayton?

    I live in Carson! Small world!

  • have you got a mother 3 english ROM ??

    and also what will i need to play it ? cos my computer is a bit rubbish atm.. full of viruses lol so will i need a better computer like ?

    btw..great video, 5* :)

  • To answer your second question, you won't need a good computer to play it.

    Emulators and roms don't take up a lot of data or require massive amounts of computing power (don't forget: most of the systems you can emulate are either very old or are designed to fit in your pocket). My own computer is nearly six years old and is rife with all sorts of problems (which is why I haven't made any new videos in a while!), but it can still run NES, SNES, GBA, and other emulators just fine.

  • I JUST relized that the picture on the Mario Party 562 box is actualy a boss from Super Mario RPG, I'm sure they'll probally make that many XD

  • nintendo of america is a hour drive form my house ... any suggestions guys? .. please tell me

  • Well, with the release of the Mother 3 fan translation, there isn't much of a point in doing anything.

    I've thought about the fact that the patch has had millions of downloads, and thought that Nintendo should look at that and maybe reconsider the possibility that there is money on this series.

    Anyway, if you want to actually do something, maybe a mob gathering is in order. You could contact other Mother fans in the area, and stand outside the building with a megaphone or something.

  • as shy as jeff brave as ness and dim like picky i shall do so! ^.^

  • Even though I'm new to the Mother series, I'll pick up my baseball bat and join the fight. My PK Bore-people-to-sleep-with-usel­ess-information should be of great use.

  • As will my PK Rant

  • Get your Ness clothes on!

  • ASSAULT!

  • ._.? assault? your gonna have to remind me i have seen this vid in forever so i forgot what i said

  • you said you lived an hour away from NOA and wanted to know what to do. nice idea, huh?

  • meh like the creator said i dun care anymore now that the translation came out

  • o, thanks anyway!

  • ._. sides i think a assault whouldnt work ... why? cuse lets face it they have guns police all i got is a bat and a master sword

  • it WAS a good idea, you have to admit

  • not really

  • doh!

  • Show them all the damn Fan sites and all the lists of comments From not only this vid, but from other tributes!!!!!!

  • I LIKED IT ^________^!

  • Where did that come from?

    The point of this video is that we're all tired of NoA's excuses not to give the series more love.

  • that's pretty funny man

  • what song did they use

  • What song did I use for this video?

    "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister.

  • LOL. Another Legend of Zelda and more shit mario games. LOL. This video is so right. WHERE IS MY EARTHBOUND and MOTHER 3???
