"It Hurts...It Hurts... I'm so sad, Ness... Friends..."

"ness, ness, ness, ness, ness, ness, ness, ness, ness, ness.....
.....i'm haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappyyyyyy....." XD

hehehe ohhh rowdy mice always so weak... but their high Smaaaaaaaaaash! rate is what make them deadly, and you can never get a back attack on them... EVER, but it's nice they;re bringing it back but the question is how much of the game are they going to change?

Their GUTS stat is 225, highest in the game, so they can land a crap ton of SMASH attacks. With 255 as max stat they have an 88% chance of landing a crit. I fucking hate those fuzzy little bastards.

I read in one of the reviews that they'll be using the SNES's graphics, but with the GBA script as it has less Ted Woosley translation issues.

Ohhh well okays, but the thing is Ted Woosley is the translation are really close to what they are, most of the time... But hopefully they keep everything the same and not change too much of the text and all. But maybe I'm just crazy about the originality of the game.

There weren't many changes from the Ted Woosley SNES to the GBA one, mostly just clarity on some of the translations. Even I will admit there were some... weird areas of script in the original.

I'm all for originals as well, but there's many SNES games that are buggy and w/ shoddy translations that are game breakers. FF6 has more bugs than a rotting corpse (Relm sketch bug for one), and FF4's script was a lot to be desired..

yeah... but then again if we knew about all bugs that where i the game, what whould be the fun of finding them and messing with them for fun. Ohhh that reminds me I wonder if they'll keep the battle after gygas glitch now?

Which bug is that? The Shattered Man in the museum?

*nods* I've done it and if you lose the game just stops and it can't do anything because it's to take you back to the last save point, but it can't because there are no more monsters so if it DID the game whould crash, but it's still there, and I wonder if they'll leave it in or not, because I WILL test to see if it's still there

It takes forever to have the Shattered Man kill you :P

Fun tip, REMOVE YOUR ARMOR!

"what's the matter, man?"

I.. don't know that quote off the top of my head! I'm shocked :O

that's a bonus

Rowdy Mouse attacks, SMAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHH!!!!

Ness took mortal damage!

I know nothing of the game.
Just by looking at this pic my first thought was either he was going to boot that chubby mouse over the horizon or go postal Paranoia Agent with that baseball bat on him.

or maybe prehapse SSB home run smash? choices, choices.

Bit of both. It's a quirky RPG that was originally released in 1995 that uses humor and a modern-day setting to set itself apart from the medieval RPGs that dominated at the time.

The script is actually quite funny! One of the few games I talk to everyone around me as they're silly, and they change what they say after minor changes to the story too.

I would definitely recommend you give this game a try :)

thanks I'l give it a try.

That EarthBound....how I wish you weren't $200 bucks T_T

Well now you can get it for a fraction of the price once it comes out on Virtual Console :D

But yeah... original SNES cart is pricy as hell =\ I've wasted so much on EB merchandise

Well I'm a avid collector of games...it's scary but anyway...It's something I have to have saddly...waiting for it to drop in price for the last 6 years which won't happen soon XD

Well we shall see what happens.

If you keep tabs on earthboundcentral.com they post weekly updates on current cartridge prices :D

Good luck! If I had a spare cartridge I'd cut you a deal but... =\

thanks dude but trust me, if someone had a spare, they would sell it for doubled knowing someone will buy it XD

This makes me glad I bought it when it was cheap haha. I have the full original box and contents including the strategy guide that came with the game I bought for $60 off Ebay. XD

I'm just glad that the dudes over in Europe get to play it.

Me too! If I remember correctly Europe never got it for the SNES :(

They got a rock.

Dungeon Man? :D

This is a beautiful art. ;~; What better way to commemorate right? I'm sure other Mother fans were literally crying too.

hahaha omg love it, i remember that guys have a big smash it rate

Yeah, they have the highest GUTS state in the game :o

They're nowhere near as fat as I am though..

hahah see this pics remind me some awesome times. thk u for share this with us

Yer welcome! I don't think EB came out in PAL with a Spanish version, was the English version difficult to follow back then?

not really i was enjoy the game and the history but to be honest i played with a dictionary in my hands ahhaha

Aww! That's adorable! That's certainly one way to learn. I do the same thing with Spanish games. It really helps when I go to Mexico every year or so.

awesome wich part of mexico u visit?

Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, and Mexico City mainly.

awesome i live in guadalajara :3

No way! I was there last year for a tequila and wine tour. Also saw the Guachimontones, and went zip lining.

Quiero ir de nuevo. Quiero comer toda la comida!

awesome maybe next time u come we can go and eat something delicius

I don't know when I'll be in the area again. I'm making plans for Germany and western Europe next year :(

hehehe well thats even better :D

Ha ha ha !! Ness never looked that good

Thanks tiger :3

I really love the way this turned out! Gawd, fountain pens rock :3

I really need to buy black platinum ink for my remaining serwex

All that mouse needs is a handlebar moustache, and it'd be like an old-timey English boxer.

Aww yeauh, this is pretty rockin' :D

Beating those guys without going into battle? Soo satisfying.

Oh god it took forever. Just grinding to get PSI Rockin was hard enough

Aaaand, the Onett theme song starts playing on endless loop in my head for the rest of the night. ^^;

The art's charming as hell, though, so you're totally forgiven. :3

I had Battle With A Familiar Foe in my head

Those key words. heh, clever.

I'm really happy about the enemy you chose to use in this! Those rowdy mice were a pain because of their high crit ratio! It only made being abble to one-shot them without entering battle that much better.

I'm still hunting down an actual copy of the game. I once had an original, but then my dad got rid of a lot of my old gaming stuff while I was away in the military. Still pisses me off just thinking about it.

The rowdy mouses Guts state is 225. Max of any state is 255. That's 88% chance of critical!

Really? The cartridges are easy to come by, just be prepared to shell out 200 clams

You should have made it against the smelly hippie instead. Iconic enemy with its own theme song lol XD

the one game that got me into the whole "perfect game file"....

had my one clear in teh game where i got the best weapons and armors for everyone. XD
Paula's magical frying pan, Poo's sword of kings, Jeff's parabola ray, and Ness' gutsy bat. (soooooo many hours! and i was maxed lvl before i got the sword! D: lol)

Wow, I don't think I've ever cared about getting the Sword of Kings or Gutsy Bat! It's difficult cuz if you're a high enough LVL, once Ness *SPOILER* gets inside Magicant and fights his Nightmare, he doesn't get a good stat raise :(

essentially you get boosts you'd just get by levelling up anyway, and learning the PSI omega move early instead of naturally at like 60ish. (i beat that around lvl 48 my first play)

sadly, going for the gutsy bat and sword of kings, takes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long ><' 1/256 chance rate sucks. lol. amusingly, getting the sword always took me longest too. :o
