  • Mother 1 and Mother 2 can't be released in America due to copyright infragment. I know, it sucks.

  • Copyright laws are international. If Mother 1 and 2 are released in Japan, they can be released here. If you do research on the copyright laws you're referring to, you'll find that it's complete and utter bullshit to say that Mother 1 and 2 are unlawful.

  • @ElecManX You do realize that Copyrights are differnt in differnt parts in the world.  Most of the infragment was some of the music sampling music from America.

  • @TheBlackBloodNinja You do realize that the music samples are protected by what we call "International" copyright law, meaning that it carries over between MOST countries. Japan is one of these countries. Even if the laws were different, Congress officially declared video games art, and as such, they can be satire, which protects them under United States specific copyright laws.

  • @ElecManX When did you hear about the ruling that video games are art?

  • @MrWakka66 My mistake. It was not congress who rules on video games being art, but the Supreme Court, who voted against a California based ban on the sale of violent video games to minors, saying that the government cannot infringe on the right video games have, as an art form, to convey ideas.

  • I'll hit you with an excerpt here:

    "Like the protected books, plays, and movies that preceded them, video games communicate ideas -- and even social messages -- through many familiar literary devices (such as characters, dialogue, plot, and music) "

  • everyone STOP SAYING NEVER cause you dont know if one day they deside to remake the game with 3D graphics

  • It will never happen. It will never happen. It will never happen. It will never happen.

    And once more for emphasis...

    IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN.

  • GUYS.....It has only been two years since the E3 2010 projects have been announced. There's still a little hope.

  • Earthbound rocks. Groudon fuck you

  • sniff... i do wish

  • LOLOMG I know the music in the background it's Starfox 64's Mission Accomplished Theme! *spazzes out like crazy*

  • IT'S BOYCOTTIN TIME

  • This WAS announced E3 2010. look up Earthbound:Re-Entry

  • We should boycott nintendo until they release it.

  • @trunks8845 Why haven't we thought of that before? Silly us!

  • @trunks8845 tru dat

  • 3 years later .........

  • Really? OMG i loved mother 1+2+3!! i played them all! now on the DS!? it'll be eaiser ti get now ^w^

  • wait? this happened when exactly!? WTF!

  • FAKE AND GAY

  • @ElecManX Microsoft sucks even worse than Sony, though this is hard for me to admit. Though.. I like a lot of Virtual Console games, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is my absolute favorite game and Monster Hunter Tri is my second. The Wii, in its ENTIRETY is better than EarthBound alone. However, the entire MOTHER series? No.

  • I was gonna buy earthbound but its in my local game shop priced at $190, I dont care how good it is there are probably $50 games that are better

  • @supersaiyanjohnny081 Thing is, take the Xbox 360... The entire library of games on that system does not compare to Earthbound. The entire library of games on the Wii, including the North American Virtual Console, does not compare to Earthbound. There is only one game that compares to it, that does better than it, and that is Mother 3. You won't get that for $50, either.

  • @ElecManX

    Earthbound is a decent game and all but it's not even close to the greatest game ever made. The story is pretty unique but the gameplay itself is nothing special. If you want a really good game, try playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

  • @ElecManX

    Hey fucker. I don't know or wanna know where the FUCK you have been for the past ten years because Halo is already that old and that's how long it's been dominating for. Face it, the only reason you like Motherfucker is because of your "nostalgia goggles". Time to take them off and play some HALO, FAG!!!

  • @grounder <3

  • @ElecManX

    pro gfame

  • @grounder Halo is done. You're hanging onto it, who's the nostalgia fag now?

  • @samasjacaj INTERNET FIIIIIIIIGHT

  • @ElecManX EEEEEETTTTT"SSSS OOOOONNNNNN!!!!!!

  • @samasjacaj

    Halo 4 is coming out in 2012. Shows that Halo has more games and new ones for new gamers.

  • @grounder well in my defense I'm making Mother 4 so...

    trollface.apng

  • @ElecManX

    But seriously though. Halo 4 is coming, crazy shit.

  • @grounder Yeah I know.

  • @ElecManX

    It's crazy!!!

  • @grounder He/she doesn't give a shit. Because he/she is a real gamer and not a douchey asshole who plays games in their free time and only plays the games that the incrowd plays.

  • @samasjacaj Who is the he or she you're referring to?

    Please tell me it isn't me.

  • @samasjacaj

    Jesus. It was obvious sarcasm about the Halo being better than Mother. Sorry you're an anti-social ashold who has to be a motherfcler YE ye

  • @grounder Wat. WAT.

  • @samasjacaj

    YE ye my nicker

  • Is it just me or is Link getting closer? O.o

  • @TheSuperSnorlax4908 It's just you. Dunno why it does that, because I definitely didn't add that into this video...

  • Best. Video. Ever.

  • Screw Nintendo and Reggie, and this law suit shit, someone just needs too do an unofficial remake of all the games for the DS/3DS (even virtual console), fuck I'd even pay them, well provided it was good.

  • LOL

  • Even if they ever did announce it, I'd be more worried about how much more of the game script/content would have to be changed thanks to the lawsuit-happy culture in the US. Mother games have a ton of references that some might not take kindly to. (e.g.: The Tonzura Brothers changed to the Runaway Five to avoid issues with Dan Akroyd and the estate of John Belushi due to similarities with the Blues Brothers)

  • Go watch some of my other videos goddamn it.

  • @ElecManX no

  • They never announced it -.- And they never will. Its been five years guys....

  • @MrGamerMan64 It's only been two since I made this video. lrn 2 count

  • @ElecManX ....Okay? That changes something..... Still not gonna be announced but thanks for replying I guess.....

  • @MrGamerMan64 That long? Goddamn.

  • @MrGamerMan64 not for the DS :P if we keep going for it we may get it "soon"

  • This game has a -1% chance of being released in America.

  • when I see the boxart for it, then I'll know when to celebrate happy

  • Mother saga has to much iligal isseues so (mostly cuz Giygas means rape) ao it might even be bannd from nintendo

  • @cobalionisawesome giygas doesn't mean rape, itoi thought he saw a rape scene in a movie when he was young.

  • When you're an EarthBound fan, yo learn not to get your hopes up too high

  • Creepy pic...

    Dude I had a talk with Nintendo and they are not going to re-release the MOTHER/EARTHBOUND series on ANYThing. Sorry but that's the truth...

  • @BigDream64 Yeah, lets see some proof that you even talked with nintendo officials. PLUS. E3 2010 list had a game called 'Earthbound : Re-entry' on it's list, to. So, YOU SIR, LOSE!

  • To people who say its Reggie's fault that the Mother series is not released in the U.S an Europe, it's not. Copyright and Google. I want the Mother series to be released too:'(

  • @Zeldanerd64 Copyright laws are international affairs, and Japan is bound by them as well. If the games can be released there, they can be released here.

    Also, any work of parody or satire is protected under said laws, which the Mother series, as a whole, is a satire of the western world, perhaps even a critical look at all of humanity. If Nintendo of America ever did use copyright infringement as a excuse not to release the games here, they clearly hoped no fans know the law.

  • @ElecManX It's not that it's illegal, but that some would go ahead and try to sue anyway. Nintendo would most likely win any Mother-related lawsuits, but the fact is court cases are expensive. It's not unreasonable for Nintendo to think that any profit Mother might pull in would be outweighed by those costs, especially given how poorly Earthbound sold.

    Money is Nintendo's excuse. It's the only excuse that makes sense. They wouldn't forgo the chance to make money just to troll us or whatever.

  • @MapiesMaster Find me some proof that someone has sued Nintendo over Animal Crossing, which they have released here consistently and without trouble since 2002. It has the exact same amount of real world references... no, it has MORE real world references. The Kitschy Clock? That says "Enjoy" on it? It's based on a retro neon Coka-Cola diner clock. The retro jukebox? That's a copyrighted design held by that particular manufacturer. There's tons more instances, and not enough space to call them.

  • @ElecManX None of those companies are as well-known for being sue-happy as the music industry is. A lot of the music in Mother 2 and 3 is directly sampled from popular songs. The sound player in Mother 3 could have a fairly reasonable case be made against it for affecting the original artists' ability to sell their product.

    Of course, what is probably the most important thing is that when Animal Crossing wasn't a commercial failure when it was brought to America, so it's worth the risk.

  • @MapiesMaster Rockin' K.K. would like to have a word with you about music.

  • @MapiesMaster Okay. two words. Pikmin 2. They use ACTUAL company names (EX.: Duricell) .

  • @jmmrockstarr9 Nintendo actually got all the proper permission and licencing for the stuff in Pikmin 2.

  • To pe

  • Uhh, is it true?

  • @Pikafan2132 Two years after I post this.

    TWO

    YEARS.

    And people still ask me if this is true.

    Please be a troll.

  • @ElecManX You don't know how to take a joke, do you?

  • @Pikafan2132 Do you?

  • @ElecManX I do.

  • @SuperLegendarymike as the writer, developer, and chief character designer for Mother 4 (not the shitty one), I can assure you that I do not work for Reggie.

  • I do wish... :(

  • I think we should all bombard reggie with emails about earthbound. IT NEEDS A REMAKE IN THE USA AND EUROPE! >:O

  • @MrSuperHeatran ya. he wont know what shot him in the balls... well now that i think about it he has none for not doing this sooner

  • @MrSuperHeatran WHAT ABOUT AUSTRALIA!??!?!?!!?

  • This video broke my heart =( !!!

  • Dude, I've seen that pose everywhere. What the hell is it?

  • @hippylegs fsjal

  • @hippylegs it's the freaking link + the awsome face

  • @hippylegs anticipation guy

  • ..."No way! I don't believe it!"

    *Reads comments*

    "What the heck!?"

    "Noo!!"

  • Yes that's Link's "I'm gonna see Zelda naked" face.

  • the fact that nintendo doesn't care about one of their greatest franchises makes me depressed beyond belief, sure it didn't sell well at first that doesn't mean if you tried again it'd fail, hell that game probably has more fans in america than CoD does atm

  • omg I WIN

    

  • LOLZ thats mad cut but funny

  • SO HAPPY

  • LMAO! the music + the pic got me!

  • WOAH WOAH WOAH WHAT!?

  • so why Link as the picture in the vid?

  • @4LackOfaBetterNam3 Look at how happy he is!

  • @ElecManX Uh, bull crap! He should be 9001 times more happy if EARTHBOUND, yes, FREAKING EARTHBOUND is gonna see anything in America officially, I said OFFICIALLY, other then just seeing Ness and Lucas in the Smash Brothers series. But even THAT got bucthered! You probably know that in the "Masterpieces" section of SSBB had a MOTHER 2 demo in it in the Japanese version. The American version, we pretty much got Reggie Fils-Aime saying "I know you want more Earthbound, I just don't give a shit"

  • @themangOMEGA Calm down there buddy, it's just a video.

  • @themangOMEGA IT'S OVAH 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • YAY!!!! WAIT WHAT! *Burns down house*

  • You don't fool me THAT easy!

  • Damnit! And I believed you, too. Oh well, there's always the chance of a 3DS release of... oh, right, Giygas.

  • i wasted my time here

  • @machoke4444 You too?

  • why would anyone even care about this *sigh*

  • and i like the toon link picture

  • Are you effffing kidding me?! Please tell me this is a REAL thing & not you just pulling some retarded stunt for views!!

  • @DarkKadan It's not working.

  • @ElecManX ........You tricked me, how cruel. T_T

  • @DarkKadan maybe one day NoA will learn how to make good marketing decisions.

  • MOTHER 1+2+3?!?!? *pisses in pants* what? ITS FAEK!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!­!!!!!

  • ok i would buy it even if it was 599 us dollers lol

  • Mother 3 penis

  • it should be called mother 1+2=3

  • its possible for it to come since it is only a port and you will only need to translate so mother1+2+3 could only be made in probobly 3 months

  • THEY DID?

  • no

  • @ElecManX FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­CCCCCCK

  • @somehominid that's what I say every day I get up.

  • @ElecManX haha

  • Dat face.

  • Reggie used PK ONLY JAPAN RELASE

  • @evanfire30 No ):

  • @evanfire30 FANS COULDNT STOP CRYING!

  • I can play Mother and Mother 3 in English for free, and already have Earthbound for the snes (cost me 80 bucks from Amazon) so no need for this, for me. And yet. I would totally buy it, if it ever came out.

  • You made me weep inside you sick ..... Rawr. Anger.

  • oh i get why you put that selection of music because its an epic win! get it epic win

  • and where was this information found is it like the one about a battletoads game for Wii which ended up being very false?

  • @partylikepacman Battletoads is actually coming out for the DS later this year.

  • umm....they...didn't really announce it officially, its just an idea for now

    They never said it was coming out, but they say its not entirely out of the question so don't get too excited

  • Ok whats with Link form Zelda and victory music from Star Fox 64?

  • fuck you man. i actually screamed like a girl. i actually was ready to go to walmart and buy the DSI XL becuase of this one damn game :(

  • @gigitygigity93 XL? What are you, 60?

  • @ElecManX Your a Pompous Ass!

  • @gigitygigity93 I feel like I've heard that somewhere... I should be getting this reference.... aaaagh.

  • @ElecManX haha!

  • @NewAgeRetroHippie96 16. Come down off that high and count that again.

  • @ElecManX Haha, 20. And why four down?

  • @CreationProblematic because four people are mad. Including me.

  • @ElecManX Mad at... What?

  • @CreationProblematic Various things.

  • Who agrees that nintendo could charge 100$ a copy for a 1+2=3 compilation? 

  • @Eurt76 nah bro.

  • @Eurt76 I would $100,000,000,00,000,000,000,00­0 for that if I had that kind of money.

  • @nametobedecided That's a bit extreme, no?

  • @ElecManX Not if you are completely insane or obsessed with the series... I am both.

  • @nametobedecided Oh. I guess I'm just not completely insane.

  • @Eurt76 I would pay $200, or more

  • @Eurt76 Don't you think we all want to buy it? Sure, such an awesome game would have to be high priced because so many people buy it, but I think any price above $70 per copy is absurd, even for a game that would have the entire world in awe for years to come.

  • @ITSOVER9000ish Yeah you're right. A good example of that is the 3DS, since nobody could afford it, nobody bought it, so now it's like $80 cheaper or something like that.

  • @ITSOVER9000ish 3 games in one...THREE GAMES IN ONE...three LONG games in one...and its not worth 100?... >:(

  • @Eurt76 i would pay without thinking

  • @Eurt76 I do not agree with this statement. I would pay $200 AND EVERY BABY I EVER HAVE

  • @Eurt76 I do not agree with this statement. I would pay $200 AND EVERY BABY I EVER HAVE

  • Uh, sorry dude, but you're not. That spot is taken by Tomato and Jeffman. Sorry to burst your bubble but you must have been mushroomized when you said that...

  • @L33TP1KP1K No, I just wanted a reaction, and that's exactly the one I expected.

    by the way I hate them.

  • @L33TP1KP1K lol nitpick

  • Man. If only this was true.....

  • Maybe...for the 3DS???

  • @Ketorulz nope.avi

  • I can't believe you have such nerve.

  • @L33TP1KP1K I'm the most well known man in the Mother community, of course I have nerve to go around.

  • So... is this more bullshit or is this actually happening? I ask against my better judgement.

  • @bbodine61 you better believe it's bullshit.

  • i'll do that to

  • Sorry to say but if NoA (nintendo of amarica) won't release earthbound (mother 2) on VC due to legal problems with pop culters refs and music sound a likes they won't sell it in America I mean mother 3 ( earthbound 2) been out since 2006 in japan and we still haven't gottin that it's sad I know

  • @ShikaNara10112 There is no legal issue. Nintendo told us that expecting that no one would know the law, and it works on pretty much everyone but me. Look into it, you'll notice that there is absolutely no infringement on any copyright in any Mother game.

  • Wow... dude is this true or false, please tell me, i love all the mother games =D!!

  • @MarioBrosFan191 If it were false wouldn't all the comments on this video say it was false?

  • My hopes were up for this being announced. But when I saw that this was a joke.

    They went from up to upset. :(

  • @shrek187 I guess you could say that you got

    Set up.

    *CSI Miami*

  • @ElecManX

    Damn that was good.
