I remember my brother telling me something about an earthbound 2 being made, but then it was scrapped. CAn anyone shed some light on WHY those motherfuckers would scrap it????? Bankrupcy I could see, but Earthbound 2 would make quite some money right now. In a few years, when my programming is shaping up, it might be a good investment to start up the whole earthbound gig again.

If you're referring to Mother 3 (Earthbound 64), then yes, one was partially developed and then cancelled. For one thing, the project was scrapped and restarted several times due to design arguments. Then the poor sales of the N64 made it look unprofitable to release such a damn quirky game. Shigesato Itoi (Mr. Earthbound himself) has said that he'd like to revive the project at some time. Money isn't really an issue, since it's an in-house Nintendo production.

I'd be happy just to get Mother 2 on the GBA.

Nah, you should have been there back in the day when it was still Earthbound.net...

Damn I loved that site. I nearly fucking cried when I came back from vacation and couldn't find it. They still have a couple of my articles in the archives, I think. I just haven't gotten the same feeling since the name change. Perhaps one day Tomato and reidman will triumph over that BuzzBuzz bastard...

EarthBound is one of the best games ever.
Those liberal fuckers at starmen.net must have banned me like 47 times though and I kept unbanning myself, it pissed them off so much.
