They didn't call it Earthbound 2?
Earthbound was the name given when they decided to release Mother 2 here. So this is the squeal to that, but it's the 3rd game in the original series. The first game was never released here.
For that matter, Mother 3 wasn't released here either. Why is it that we can only get 1/3 of the Mother games in English without hacking the roms of them?
Although, Mother 3 was definitely worth the wait. It's such an amazing game.
I am guessing that the Mother series has more of a cult following here in the US and not enough sales to merit bringing the other two over. A pity really, especially since the characters are well known through other means like Smash Bros.
I was guessing it would be called EarthBound 2 also. But, I guess I was wrong.
I know. I'm actually quite surprised Nintendo hasn't made an EarthBound game for the Wii yet, given that now everybody knows about at least Ness, Lucas, Jeff, and Porky through Smash Bros Brawl.
Oh I would anticipate at least Earthbound (maybe even the others in the series) to make their way to the VC soon. I am hoping the VC starts to house more of these games since they don't have to deal with the higher costs of producing a cartridge and shipping the games, etc. The entire Mother series would be an incredible add on. Nintendo has already made some Japan-exclusive games on the VC so why not Mother? Only time will tell I suppose.

Mighty_darknut, what's that quote you have there? Do you want bowel cancer or is that something someone else said? I've seen patients with bowel cancer, and it's very painful for them, and even more painful for their families. It's not something that you should want. Those of us who don't have it should consider ourselves lucky :uhoh:
What's with the smilies in your sig. What are they for?
