Mother 3 wasn't brought to the west probably because it got a lackluster reception in Japan. The fans of Mother 1 and 2 called it a flat out of piece of shit game over there.

But then again, has Nintendo ever cared about their fans tho.
Japan is wrong. It's the best game of the trio in terms of story and mechanics.
The Amazon Japan reviews of MOTHER 3 seemed to be overwhelmingly positive though.

Burger publishers also insisted on de-animefying a lot of cover art, leading to very "unique" results when they tried to actually capture the characters on the nipland cover.
Yes, thanks for pointing that out. That seemed to be the #1 reason for a cover being replaced. If it had even the slightest hint of an anime look to it, it was GONE. And then we get this instead:

Even if they had kept the anime art, SNES boxarts are ugly by default just for the sole fact that they insist on using a bold template just to let people know that their games are for the SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. Same shit with the original PlayStation cases.

Even Sega started doing that crap on the Genesis when they switched from having the console's logo on the top to putting a big red stripe on the left side of the front art that says "GENESIS" in big bold letters.

Even if they use the original Nihon boxart they find away to make the original superior.

Remember the epic Secret of Mana boxart with the three heroes standing before the fuckhuge Mana Tree? That's just 1/3 of the original boxart.

Also see how rad this looks without this ugly black border.

Western video game commercials were - and still are - cringy as fuck. Glorious Nippon is way better in that regard.


(Yeah, I know it's for A Link to the Past instead of Zelda 1. Bite me.)

And I think an issue regarding Earthbound was that it's fairly "mundane" looking. Trying to compete with fantasy and sci-fi titles isn't easy with a modern day setting.
The japs need to grace us with some Zelda porn. Get a hot tranny for Link, some AV slut for Zelda, then let the gangbangs fly!

I enjoyed this review tbh. At least, I enjoyed the review bits. The skits were total shit. Has there ever been an IN who's done a skit that was actually good? I've never seen one.
Anyway, the review bits reminded me of when James just chills and talks about old monster movies and Godzilla. You can tell he was really affected by the game and felt really positive about it, but he didn't completely suck the game off either. That was breddy cool, and I say that as someone who considers Earthbound one of my favourite games ever.

Yeah I thought the video was good as well. Its length meant that James could take a more relaxed, casual and analytical role rather than trying to cram a hook in 11 minutes. I always find it strange how often he tries to go for an epic, finale styled tone for his reviews such as with the whole past memories skit. Is he that desperate to end AVGN?

The more energetic and action packed parts of his reviews are the worst. This is why I can easily watch the old stuff (except some of the more horror movie like shit where the games take a back seat) up to episode 70 or so, any video where he mainly focuses on talking about games instead of doing stupid shit I enjoy. His Castlevania series was also nice.

I really don't like seeing him overacting nowdays, he doesn't have any comedic timing to it, it's painfully forced and there is just no charisma - plus the "jokes" are stales as hell, I'll admit I haven't seen AVGN in a while, but at some point, he just kept repeating the old catchphrases.

I think his last few reviews have been much better than most of the episodes he's done in a year or two.
Paperboy was genuinely one of his best AVGN videos, but after that his stuff was getting really weak.
- and that's a good thing.
