posting in a possible legendary entertainment thread

I like how you're scrambling to find more things to say about me and making subsequent posts as you find new nuggets to work with, hastily assembling poorly thought-out counterattacks without even realizing that I am hijacking the fuck out of your thread and making you look just as bad as me.

According to Shigesato Itoi, the game could see a limited release as an SNES cartridge.

" Itoi's Mother 3: The Last Days of the Pig Emperor has been in production for just short of nine years. Somewhere during those nine years, he developed his theory that games are like prostitutes, and started speaking outspokenly about it. At first he said that a game should be like a woman who waits for you at your home to rub your shoulders and your feet after a long day of work. Eventually, as he worked on Mother 3, he started to replace the term "woman" with "prostitute." Mother 3's story centers around a father, his two sons, and their dog, who are all separated in the beginning of the game. Eventually, they'll group together, I imagine. For the beginning, it seems, they are to split up and have their own adventures. The setting is a futuristic world wherein a pig-man has assumed command of the human population with his army of pig-robots. The story is said to deal with father-son themes, though there will no doubt be a mother character in there somewhere. Itoi has written the entire story from scratch, though it is rumored Pokey, the pesky neighbor from Mother 2, will return to wreak havoc. Fans have guessed that Pokey himself is the Pig Emperor (he does look kind of piggy in the nose, a little bit), and maybe they're right.

Mother 3 was first in production for the Nintendo 64 DD disk system, though since that system has long been stillborn and buried in a shoebox-sized coffin, the game was moved to the Gameboy Advance. This is kind of curious, because such a move requires the game to be what we'll call down-ported. Development house Brownie Brown, made up of ex-Squaresoft employees, ironically, has been left in charge of porting the game's characters and maps into Mother 2's graphical style. Itoi has joked on his blog, which covers numerous lovely topics, and very rarely mentions videogames, that he'd like to see the game receive a limited release on Super Famicom as well. "

I know how to pump my ego and everyone else's temper. The best part is that I'm actually encouraged to be a prick by the positive feedback I receive by virtue of being so funny while picking on you.

Shit, I'm making explicit statements here that are completely transparent and should make everyone hate me, but my style and panache and raw arrogance/charisma are enough to let me roll over you like a juggernaut. You might even say I'm the Juggernaut...bitch.

Frosh get the fuck out of this thread

4/5/2006 4:45:18 PM

its been a long 11 years since another Mother game came out, hopefully it will rock the world along with the new Zelda

4/5/2006 4:54:26 PM

I bet you still have the scratch-and-sniff stickers you pulled out of your GamePro when the last game was released in the U.S.

4/5/2006 4:59:13 PM

^ That's the fucking winner right there.

That issue smelled so bad I threw it out after glancing at it only once, and I didn't even scratch the stickers.

4/5/2006 5:08:19 PM

the banana monkey sticker smelled good

4/5/2006 8:30:52 PM

See? This is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm so good at what I do that this guy here thinks I make my living doing it. He thinks I'm a professional prick.
