Mother/EarthBound
Oct. 9th, 2008 12:32 amI just finished playing through Mother/EarthBound Zero again (for, I think, the third, or maybe fourth, time now), in preparation for the imminent release of the fan translation of Mother 3.
Starting tomorrow, I intend to play through EarthBound (for what's probably the seventh or eight time). However, I'm undecided as to whether I want to play the game via emulator on my PC or on my SNES. With zsnes, I'd have access to save states and speed-up/slow-down and all that nifty stuff, as well as headphones for the music and such. However, playing it on the actual hardware on a TV is more authentic. Oh well, I'll decide that when I get home tomorrow.
While watching the end credits for Mother, it hit me again that I actually know one of the guys that worked on the game, which I think is pretty amazing. Phil works at GameInstinct now, same as me, and it looks like he started there around the same time that I did (my first stint with them for summer work started in June 2005). He's an awesome guy, like most of the other guys that work there. I haven't spoken to him about Mother yet, though I keep meaning to do so. Maybe the release of the fan-trans of Mother 3 will be a good opportunity to bring it up, see what he thinks about it and such.
