Why do you think some people hate Nintendo?

[Kong Rong]

I think Earthbound is like Pokemon, they want to stay firm in pixels

Yeah Earthbound is just like Pokemon minus the sales and mainstream recognition

 

[ToxBox]

I want Mother 4 for 3DS for Wii U and I just played Mother 1 today for NES and it is addicting

You mean you played it on the Family Computer

Sort of, it is a fan translation game on emulator and it is called EarthBound Zero

Lame real men but pirated versions

Real American EarthBound NES cost 10,000 dollars because only 5 of them exist and Nintendo have 1 of them

Blame the sales of Earthbound, the real problem is that Earthbound is significantly less popular then people think it is, it's a humorous RPG (from what I've heard) with a cult following which hurts it because RPGs themselves are a niche market.

You people keep blaming about Mother 3 not being released in America, while the entire series doesn't even exist in Europe at all.
The only games we can enjoy a bit of the Mother series, are Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

What about the first Smash Bros.

RPGs themselves are a niche market.

Only Japanese RPGs, and for good reason; almost every game classed a 'JRPG' is utter shit. It's a shame the MOTHER series gets lumped in with that riffraff, since it's a genuinely clever, interesting series.

Meanwhile, Western RPGs remain as popular as ever with mainstream audiences. Probably because they're usually much better.

 

[ToxBox]

I think Mother series is better than Pokemon because I spent 8 hours staight playing Mother for NES

 

[Purple Yoshi]

Yeah, I mean, the reason Mother 3 isn't out in America is because it wouldn't sell well. End of story.

Lucas may be in Smash Bros, but RPGs in general don't sell well among younger audiences unless it's Pokemon. And the success of Pokemon was pretty much just because of the anime and some clever marketing.

That's not right at all Pokemon was a huge hit in Japan before the anime even started
