Oh, right, forgot about the Home Run Bat. So, bat, badge, and Mr. Saturn.

I wonder why they even put Lucas other than Ness? I think they pretty much just the same but Lucas has a different clothing on than Ness.

I can see that, But for there last update they just did. they are putting Ness as a unlockable character!! I mean EarthBound were great... Thing is I also see they messed up the naming.

EarthBound Zero(Never released) = Mother
Earthbound= Mother 2
Earthbound 2?= Mother 3...

Seems nintendo messed up the names badly... I mean if they released EB2 it will be like a mix up, like what happened to FF games... FFIII was FF6 and FF2 was never release until they had the Snes... Very confusing to Amercia and Japan.

chances are, if it were released in US, theyd just call it mother 3. most companys dont muck with the titles anymore. dragon warrior is finally dragon quest, the final fantasy numbering hasent been altered for a us release since 7, and all the rereleases are being numbered correctly

the thing is, before mother 1 was canceled, it was originally titled 'earth bound', the 'zero' part was just added by the group that dumped the original cart to a rom to differentiate between it and the Earthbound that we already had.

You have a good point with the Dragon Quest and Dragon Warrior... Lets just cross our fingers for Earthbound 3... I also do remember they were going to release EB3 for the N64 sadly they canned it. I mean think...

Earthbound Zero = Mother, Nintendo: "Uh-oh I think we messed up a release on a great RPG game.. Don't worry well release EB for the Snes"
Earthbound = Mother 2 "Well Seems Japan loves Mother series sadly some people do not like EB... We need to think fast."
Earthbound 64 = Mother 64 "Well seems the stroyline won't make sense and I guess the N64 is about to die soon well have to can it."
CANNED
Mother 3 = EB3? "Well I doubt we can even make EB3 since with the Mix up... I guess someone might have to fan translate it..."

Well seems that could of happen on those events on what Nintendo was thing off...

I always wondered why between Jp and Us they changed PK to PSI, it seemed weird to have ssb characters say pk. But PK does sound cooler.

I think I'd like to take the opportunity right now to say that EarthBound is probably the best game I've ever played.

Yeah, sorry for the "necro",
but it hasn't been long since someone has posted on this.

/This game was so awesome. The storyline was epic and original.

I have an incredibly sad feeling that this will never be released on VC.
