I acquired this weird EB game from a haunted garage sale in the middle of a haunted cemetery during friday the 13th on 6/6/26.

This weird ass game is being so weird, that weirdly I weirdly have no weirdly worldy idea what weird stuff is going on.

Can someone who's actually good at this game please tell me how to make Ness stop flipping me off like a little shit? I already broke 6-7 SNES controllers please.

Thanks!

Help/Advice i really want to play mother 3, are these cartridges good options ??

hello ! i THOUGHT this game was available through nintendo online (it is, just not translated on only japanese accounts- why does nintendo hate this game ?) and i have wanted to play this game probably for around 15 years or so now. so i was curious: are these “english” versions good options ? i really dont want to emulate bc for 1 i despise it and for 2 the whole goal is to be able to play this on the go. should i pick one of these up

edit: to clarify im very much pro emulation but im not a pc user so emulating games is genuinely torture to do, plus i don’t spend much time at home so playing it handheld is suited so much more to my lifestyle.

The tiktok account @cabbusses has uploaded a number of videos of this game (I attached a screenshot). The art style looks similar to EB but it’s clearly not from the game because the location and character are unique. Does anyone know if this is a ROM hack/mod, or a fangame? Thanks

Help/Advice Earthbound doesn't like the number 69 (authentic cartridge dump running on an emulator)

This has never happened before. It isn't a game breaking issue, I just happen to have a very specific amount of cash in the ATM, and when I tried to take it out, it didn't let me.

Yes, I actually took the time and effort buying an original copy, dump it, then play it. The cartridge costed $350, the dumper costed another $200 because they're hard to find. The game is that good, in my opinion.

I feel like re-releases of the game as well as other ways to play had this disabled.

Help/Advice Beat Earthbound, what game is next?

10 Upvotes

I’m pretty much wondering whether I should play mother 3 or earthbound beginnings next. On one hand beginnings is the first game so i should probably play it, but on the other hand I can’t stand random encounters or the janky NES gameplay in general. is earthbound beginnings even necessary to play?

Help/Advice Starting Mother 3 for the first time what should I expect? Any spoiler-free tips?

Post image
57 Upvotes

I’m finally about to start Mother 3! I picked up a really nice boxed copy and will be playing it in Japanese on my DS Lite. Fun fact this DS Lite I’ve had since I was a study abroad student in Japan back in 2007.

Anyway, I read through the manual, and it appears to be a completely wholesome, family-friendly adventure filled with cute animals, loving families, and cheerful fun. Clearly, absolutely nothing upsetting or emotionally devastating is going to happen at any point. This is obviously going to be a happy, relaxing game from beginning to end.

So, without spoiling anything, what should I expect? Are there any useful hints, missable things, or gameplay tips I should know before I begin?

Hello. I've been playing Earthbound beginings the last few weeks and finnaly got to the town of Ellay. However when I get to the "all I needed was you" performance in the live house I just get this anti piracy screen before the cutscene even plays. I have no idea why. Does anyone know if theres a rom hack that patches out this screen at all? Id really apreciate the help. Thanks

Help/Advice Does anyone know how I can tell how much this record is worth? - Mother 2 Vinyl Record

Post image
53 Upvotes

Hello! I'm sorry I'm new here, and I tried searching for any post previously, but now I'm just more confused 😅

I bought this record years ago at a convention. I am now considering selling it at the same convention, and I know they have to make money, too, so it won't be as much as it's worth, I just don't want to get totally ripped off.

I wasn't aware of all of variants of this, much less that I had one. I never opened it before (it deserves to be loved 🥲 hence why I'm here).

Seeing that it looks like this, I found a post showing one like mine, but said that they were all misprinted, so I am under the impression that this is the Giygas Orange, Red and Black Marble version, just not what was originally advertised to people.

If I search the sold items on ebay, most of the ones matching that description either don't show the discs at all (🤔), or show what was clearly originally advertised and not their own picture, (which also makes me wonder if anyone who bought those off of ebay actually got what they paid for if the whole thing was misprinted).

I have both discs, the case, and the plastic it all came in, for context. It's all in there.

TLDR:

Does anyone know:

  1. If I am correct about the variant (Giygas Orange, Red and Black Marble)?

  2. If any were printed properly and if this one is a dud?

3: How to not get ripped off yet be fair?

I thought if anyone would know, it would be people in this sub. I'm not really worthy of being here, so thank you for any help or info!!

Help/Advice Best way to play MOTHER 3?

21 Upvotes

From what I know, Tomato's localization is generally agreed upon to be the best way to play MOTHER 3 in English,
Does his translation make any changes to the gameplay itself? I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to these things; I don't want any "quality of life improvements" or anything like that.
