playing Earthbound Beginnings.
For every minute that Reid leaves the game unfinished, a Ninten never gets their wings. RT to save a life
fwiw: toby requested that we not create merchandise of light world characters, so unfortunately no plans for figs/plush/etc of kris, susie, noelle, etc – sorry folks!
1) our first major retail deal (best buy! but, uh.. get it from us, haha)
2) our first nintendo game
pretty huge day for us. thanks for your support 🙇♂️
there's something beautiful and just about a creator retaining their rights and aging alongside their creation. "i can make friends young enough to be my great grandchildren" 🥲
pleasing though the imagery may be of a flame shooting out of spamton's nose, for legal reasons i must ask everyone to refrain from microwaving their plush
i love giving tours to lawyers and bankers, though. without fail, every one of them starts with "oh yeah my kid loves video games" and ends with a look of vague shock
Series creator Shigesato Itoi explained that Nintendo was presented with the offer of an English translation, but Nintendo believes it's not that simple. He hopes that one day Nintendo accepts the offer.
Fangamer is looking for a Production Designer!
This is the first time we've opened up design applications in a very long time – threading details below, RTs appreciated~
earthbound usa, the documentary we started.. 8 years ago?! is coming along really nicely. over the last year we hired an entire team of full-timers (4 total now) to work on it. anticipating we’ll have it delivered to backers late this year~
i think everyone understands how much of our daily reality is fake/rigged (insurance, stocks, etc) but there's just no energy to fight. if anything good comes of this virus, let it be that energy
Listen, pushing
@EarthBoundUSA
higher up on the Apple TV documentary charts won’t move the needle on MOTHER 3, but it WOULD be pretty funny.

i know its friday and everyones excited for the weekend, but ask yourself: "have i taken time to appreciate the gamer's bowl?"
it's right here, when you're ready to give it the space it deserves:
used discord tonight to talk to a bunch of my fellow earthbound dorks and it was like being back on IRC 20 years ago. i love that MOTHER has inspired such energetic devotion for literal *generations*, now
fangamer in 2010: hey guys it's us. it's the starmen dot net guys. would you like an unlicensed ness shirt for your ness cosplay
fangamer in 2018: hey guys here's our new line of officially licensed dark souls figures
playing earthbound with the girls, about to fight carpainter. iris is old enough to grasp the narrative, but opal is younger and blue is her favorite color, so they’re fighting about accepting his offer. “iris! you just want the world to not be blue!!”
i will continue to expand fangamer and acquire licenses/companies until one of them is finally positioned to make this happen. on my death bed i'll be like "motherrr..." and everyone's gonna be like "well his relationship with his mom was good so that was def about that game"
Man. Banjo-Kazooie is real, and
@Fangamer
is doing the official merch.
Anything is possible. It may not be today, or tomorrow, but I think MOTHER 3 has a chance. And
@Fangamer
will do the merch.
And then everything will have come full circle.
unfortunately i dont think "earthbound devs" are asking anything at all..
@distantshores
suggests this is prob just a Famitsu call for fans to talk about the series.
On 9/15, me and 3 dads from Fangamer will be streaming DELTARUNE Chapter 1 with live commentary. (I'll join with text-to-speech.)
We've never done something like this before so it might be a little rough, but I think it will be a lot of fun too.
Will post a link when it's close!
been waiting for nintendo to accept the layup, shut down our site, and do SOMETHING with mother 3.. its only been 15 years so i figure we give them another 15 before i send a follow-up email
4 years ago at camp fangamer we boldly predicted a future in which everyone loves Gamer Blood and VR. past being prologue, we’re proud to release our masterwork “I Love VR” for its meatspace debut:

2020 has been the most challenging year of my life, as I expect it has been for many. In the midst of the darkness and difficulties, however, I had something happen, that by many people's standards might not seem like a big deal, but for me-- it made my year.
