For his 10th 16-Bit Gem, Roo celebrates by taking a thorough look at the history of perhaps the most overlooked video game series of all time. He'll explore the twists and turns of how a poor-selling, quirky Japanese RPG gained a massive following - culminating in perhaps the most devoted video game fanbase on the internet. Be sure to also look for our next episode, which will be a review of EarthBound itself. For now, enjoy the in-depth story of the EarthBound series.

The American Mother fan-base = "You won't give us fan translations and new games Nintendo? Fine. We'll make them ourselves."

[PortalJumper98]

Damn Reggie, America gives you the one fingered solute you bastard Reg!

[GirlintheWater]

@ZheTecXero can you message me where you got it?

[Synicade]

At 9:57 he states "I'll see you in the next part of this video"

This video has ben rumored for years, with no word from ClanOfTheGrayWolf. Fans have speculated for ages what this next "video" would have been.

[ZheTecXero]

@GirlintheWater Homebrew. More specifically the R4i. Just google it if you don't mind emulators and homebrew.

@ComputerLunarVidGamR Oh and I meant that "Unassuming Local Guy" is the name of a generic person in EB.

[wyatt8740]

@ComputerLunarVidGamR I didnt see it (the playthrough). I just finished playing MOTHER 3 a few weeks ago.

[GirlintheWater]

@ZheTecXero how did you get Mother 3 on DS?

[ComputerLunarVidGamR]

@wyatt8740 thx for pointing out the obvious to those who watched chuggas playthrough!

[DavidAndDannyShow]

hey,we might be lucky and get a new 3ds earthbound its better then nothing :/

[wyatt8740]

Whether you're a real EarthBounder or...

Just an unassuming local guy...

Oh my god If I got this does it make me an EarthBounder?

BTW to anyone who wants to try MOTHER 3...

It's very depressing at the beginning and end. Just a warning.
