Mr. Saturn sprite EB Siege: This is just sick

sprite Adamant Ness

    I found another scan: http://i26.tinypic.com/2mwwba8.jpg Its blurry though. Its the same as the last one, but shows the whole page. But yeah, not cool Nintendo Power, not cool.

    ...sigh Companies do not hate fanbases. They base their releases on consumer interest and past sales. EB sold horribly, therefore there is little-to-no reason to rerelease it.

      Thank you for taking the time to read this signature.

      This signature loves you.

      WHAT!!!? GRRRR!!! It's official, NOA is TRYING to make Mother fans angry. What's next, an interview with Reggie and he says "Truthfully, Mother fans really shouldn't get their hopes up. We have absolutly NO plans to release anymore Mother games in America in any shape or form. If they REALLY want Mother so badly, they should stick to ROMs, imports, eBay, and their silly little fan translations." Some serious sparks would fly after that.

      Are you Ninten or Ness???

      sprite MagicalMeowe

        King P could be what they mean by king. Edit: After looking at the full picture, does think that could be one of the needles?
        And the original slogan was "Funny, Strange, Heartrending". But we won't know until the next issue.

        Reggie: "Oh by the way, we'll be releasing a computer virus on the web that will erase all Roms of the Mother Series from existence. Also the virus will retroactively erase all mentionings of 'Earthbound', 'Mother', and 'NOA sucks' from the internet. Plan to update your websites accordingly!"

          Woah, woah! Calm down here! I know, this was a cruel joke, but do remember- Nintendo Power did write a large article about Starmen.net. I think they're fully aware of us and I believe the chances of getting the Mother series to come to America are higher than they've ever been before, thanks to reidman and all the others who have contributed to this site. We've done PK Mail'n, Call'n, etc. and resident artists have made all sorts of art, music, fangames, etc. based on Mother, like the EarthBound Anthology, Meeellla's resin figures, and everyone's art (In the broadest sense of the term). Remember that Nintendo Power also isn't exactly Nintendo's, they just are very good partners. I've become a huge fan of this series in only a month, and I know that there are many others out there that don't go on Starmen.net. Don't give up, and don't get irritated. There is always hope. If there isn't that, I don't know how I could love this game as much as I do!

          ....And thus ends my long speech about EarthBound and it's relation to Nintendo Power... And yeah, this is how I vent my anger. I type quickly, and my mind works tenfold. I could make millions when I'm angry!

              Wow, that was messed up. I got really excited for a second there. Geez. Evil.

              The thing that makes it real messed up is, that they joke about Kingdom hearts, and they joke about mother 3. Logic would tell you that either its both of them or neither since they joke about both, but something tells me its only kingdom hearts. sadness

              There must be a department at Nintendo that likes to piss off Earthbound fans. And this month they said "Let's advertise Kingdom Hearts, bust randomly mention Mother 3. That outta piss off those Earthbound fans!"

              Jerks....

              Don’t be bad in las.

              sprite Abufikatoo

                Wow.

                If it IS KH (A series which I really don't like the sound of much, mainly because I hate Square), I will lose even more respect for Nintendo. And my respect for it is going down pretty fast. Jeez.

                      That was before they handed the reigns to Future US, who are the ones who made this horrible joke. The awesome Nintendo Power guys who wrote that article about us had nothing to do with this.

                            While I'd LOVE it to be the sword of Kings, to me, this may sound crazy, but it looks like a spitting image of the Durandall from Fire Emblem 6 and 7.....

                              Hey people, food for thought:

                              Maybe they're just kidding about them being cover stories?

                              sprite second_prize

                                I dunno. I looked at the full page in that little picture someone posted, and it certainly doesn't look like any sword that would be related to the Mother series. Then again, it doesn't look like a Kingdom Hearts sword, either.

                                aoeuhtns…That spells “keyboard elitist.”

                                  The answer is: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King

                                  It would make sense, It's for Wii, and, It's part of an RPG franchise, but, this time, it's a SimCity-style game (to a degree)...

                                  I don't think it looks quite like Durandal, but that further points to the FE remake for DS having a stateside release.

Well, the next issue preview has a sword thing in the ground, it could possibly be one of the seven needles, and the fit for a king may refer to the pig king, and the lot of heart must mean Hinawa. It HAS to be Mother 3, the signs are there, clearly. (heart jumps) Please be Mother 3, PLEASE be Mother 3!

                                            Do you realize how much of a huge problem it is now that Nintendo knows about our community? They can either take pity and release the Mother games, or it could result in an all out war between starmen and NoA resulting in them shutting us down.

                                              People are being pessimistic.

                                              Here's a way to make the entire next issue preview work:

                                              Mother 3 is not the cover story

                                              Kingdom Hearts (whatever it is) is not the cover story

                                              Whatever that sword is from is the cover story

                                              And NP was only kidding about the former two games being the cover stories, and yet are covering them regardless.

                                              ಠ_ಠ

                                              because nintendo doesn't care about you and the new publishers of this magazine obviously see Mother fans as a big joke.

                                              MOTHER 3 won't produce enough $$$ for them here or in the PAL regions. Most US gamers would rather play GTA4, Halo 3, Guitar Hero, some stupid sports game that identical to the one they bought last year or Guitar Hero. There are about 4 gamestops just in walking distance of where I live (NYC) and you see the same thing at all of them. If the game doesn't have a gun or an athlete on the cover people just say its "gay"

                                              Thats America for you :?

                                              And Nintendo, these days pretty much spends all it's advertising dollars towards people who don't even play video games. So unless you're just a fan of one of their old franchises, you're pretty much dead to them.

                                                Actually, my sister, who is an English major, a Mother series fan, and can interpret the meanings of sentences, says that they may be PRETENDING to tease us.

                                                [COLOR=royalblue][FONT=Times]You see, if they just said 'It's Mother 3... Just kidding', that would be a cruel joke. But, they mentioned the plot and game tagline with the comment 'Its got a lot of heart.' This would mean they are reinforcing the idea of Mother 3. I don't know about you, but not many games I play have that kind of plot. I believe they are saying that NoA has given in somehow to the requests of the fans. We may have a Mother game over here yet.

                                                Do you realize how much of a huge problem it is now that Nintendo knows about our community? They can either take pity and release the Mother games, or it could result in an all out war between starmen and NoA resulting in them shutting us down.
                                                1) Nintendo's known about the community for years now. 2) I'd say that "all-out war" is a pretty peculiar euphemism for what would be a one-sided conflict.

                                                      i can't get it to embed the pic... click the link i guess or a Mod can fix this post for me

                                                      I like how the staff picks just ignore Earthbound and Mother.

                                                      Not to mention that little quip, "you gonna take that, mario and chrono fans?" Anyone who thought that these NP writers have anything but contempt for Mother fans are going to be sadly disappointed.

                                                      I have always found that angels have the vanity to speak of themselves as the only wise.

                                                        They obviously did that as a joke because they know MOTHER fans get mad easily.

                                                        Just like with the "It's Mother 3. Just kidding." thing.

                                                            They release Donkey Kong Jr. Math, but not EarthBound, in fear of bad sales. ...Somebody get me Reggie's phone number. Now.

I have a sence of humour, trust me: it's just that this kind of joke (if it is a joke) is nothing more than a kick to the nuts to a community that's already been sacked about 50 times since the anouncment of EarthBound 64 way back when.

Then maybe their interests in the game will be aroused. Who knows, maybe the top VC Wanted poll will be "1. Earthbound; 2. Mother; 3. Mother 3; 4. Super Mario RPG; ..."
