Mr. Saturn sprite Starmen.Net Mentioned in Nintendo Power

    http://jonk.fobby.net/smn/banners/posting/np_bannered1.png

    Thanks to Pinkbull for the alert and the scan, we have just found out that Starmen.Net got a huge mention in the new issue of Nintendo Power! Click here to see it. They mention the Mother 3 Petition, the numerous NP Sieges, and even show off Losperman's Starman DX tattoo. All of this is a sidebar to an article they did for EarthBound as part of their Playback series.

    Rejoice!<br/><br/>

    I'm starting to get the feeling that everyone at Nintendo but the translation higher-ups want Mother 3.

    I would actually say that eveyone at Nintendo instead of the corporate decision makers want Mother/EarthBound in the US again.

      Maybe this will finally get em. It's just a shame they never at all mentioned the Blue Disks. It cannot be a proper SM.net side bar without the disks.

      Uh, the blue discs were never a component of an NP Siege. Similarly, the blue discs were probably never anywhere near being in the possession of Nintendo of America. Furthermore, the sidebar was composed of submissions from Starmen.net - and I don't believe any of the site's higher-ups have ever been anywhere near the discs themselves.

        My NP always comes last. Argh.

        Still, I knew this would happen eventually. I wouldn't go as far as saying "Everyone at Nintendo but the big mean corporate guys want Mother 3! >:O" (unless that's actually something someone can say from experience), but I will say that I think NP at least wants Mother 3. They keep mentioning it, and talking about EarthBound.

        This was indeed an awesome move by Nintendo Power. What a great article.

        And is the Flashback section fairly new? its good to see NP taking a look back at games from the past. It would make sense to release games for the Wii that are featured in this section.... One can only hope.

        Nintendo's typos are frequent and ongoing for year, in first party game guides; ie: Earthbound, and just about any first party game made around the N64 era.
        But I gotta say, that it's good to see we're getting some positive PR, but I honestly don't think our forum traffic level will change, maybe on the mainpage though.

                  I knew they would soon from the start (though to be honest I thought it'd be sooner).

                      actually, Ness's is correct as the possesive. As long as it is a nomenclature is a singular, the rule is [NAME]'s as the possesive context. Just because Ness's name ends in a "s", that does not matter if it is a title.

                        I tried to sticky this topic but I guess that's not how sticky front page topics work. Still, this is some pretty amazing stuff. This also looks like it's the first time Nintendo has acknowledged us, in any official capacity. Sweet!

                                Wow, they actually mentioned the site! Didn't they overlap letters from the second NP Siege so that they could cover up the site URL on some of them? I think Liz Vender was one of the victems there...

                                I'd love to participate in another NP Siege, but I don't think the magazine prints much letter art anymore. Sad

                                I can't remember where I heard this (I think my big Fryguy brother brought it up), but yes, apparently this is officially the largest single-series fansite by community and content on the internet to date.

                                I'm glad Nintendo Power finally admitted that Starmen.net exists. I heard that they don't usually cite fan sites in their magazine. So if this is true then starmen.net is truly awesome!

                                    He probaly spelled it Onnett because thats the way the writer thought it's pernounced (On-Net), thus the reason he spelled it that way.

                                      Since there's only one "n" in the official spelling, I've come to the conclusion that it's supposed to be pronounced "Oh-net." If it were pronounced "On-it," it would be spelled with two n's.
                                      By putting a lid on something, you can cover the smell. But if a child removes the lid, you have to tell them what it is.

                                      I just realised something. Not that it's really necessary, but we could do a mini NP Siege thing and bombard them with letters on how Onett was misspelled. Razz

                                          Face it NOA, you're stuck with us.

                                          We're the neglected middle child of your era and the reason why you're taking notice is that we're doing bad things that create a problem for you.

                                          Will you hug us now? Will you catch up on the lost years?

                                            It's kind of funny when you consider that they're basically directing people to the site... which now opens with a big red page that talks about the coming sm.net Mother 3 translation.
