There's a "rumor"("rumor" because it's most likely the truth

) that NST and that new development All-Star team will both have new GC projects to be unveiled at E3...The All-Star team will also have a DS project to show...

O my gosh, how could I forget the booth babes! lol

The best thing is that I will be there to take pics with the booth babes

. Being my first E3, I am highly anticipating the whole event. I will be very overwhelmed, but in a good way.

I'm still holding out for Earthbound or Kid Icarus sequals, on the GC, that is. I need Kid Icarus 3 to be shown...now!

Hopefully Halo 2 will be out before E3 2004.....hopefully.

HL2 has a better chance of making it out before E3 IMHO.

who knows what sk has after mgs!

A big long holiday probably. Maybe another smallish project for the GC but I suspect Too Human will be an N5 development for launch.

bill, where'd you get that list from?

StrikerObi · « **Reply #35 on:** March 04, 2004, 06:19:48 AM »

It just look slike a list of stuff we've already seen. There are things that we've known about forever and some things that shouldn't be there.
Giftpia - why about time? It was there last year...
Pokemon Stadium GameCube - We've already got Pokemon Colleseum.
Custom Robo - Isn't this set to be released before E3?
Mother 3 - haha, fat chance (obviously fanboy wishing)

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #36 on:** March 04, 2004, 06:21:56 AM »

It's about time that WE got Giftpia...

And Mother 3 has been confirmed to be in development for a while now...

vudu · « **Reply #37 on:** March 04, 2004, 06:53:00 AM »

i believe mother 3 has been confirmed for japan, but i doubt we'll see it in the US. last year they re-released mother 1 & 2--most likely to help generate interest for the new game. since mother 1 & 2 isn't available in the US, it seems unlikely nintendo will make an english language version of the game.

Rich · « **Reply #38 on:** March 27, 2004, 07:20:53 PM »

Oh man all that and the DS. Holy Crap talk about one hell of an E3. There is also a ton of stuff for PS2 and XBOX, like FF12, GTA, Halo2, Fable, and the PSP. big E3 for sure.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #39 on:** March 29, 2004, 01:13:45 PM »

Considering the fact that Nintendo has released/is releasing previously Japan-only titles Fire Emblem, ______ Wars, and Custom Robo, not releasing a cult favorite like Mother wouldn't make sense...

I really hope you're right, Bill- I'd kill to have an English version of Mother 1 & 2, and now mother 3.

Rich · « **Reply #41 on:** March 29, 2004, 03:42:50 PM »

Quick question. I have never played anything fomr the Mother series and I don't know anything about it at all. I was just wondering wheather the Mother series is where Ness from Smash Bros. came from.

If it is it wouldn't be unreasonable to believe that Nintendo would bring over here. look at the Fire Emblem series. Marth and Roy made their first American appearance in Smash bros. so why can't Ness and the Mother series.

either that or I'm a total idiot and Ness has never had anything to do with the Mother series making this entire post totally useless.

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #42 on:** March 29, 2004, 03:47:22 PM »

No, you're right, Ness is from the Mother series- Mother 2, to be specific, also called Earthbound in America. mother 1 was released for the Famicom in Japan but was never actually brought over to America. Mother 2 came out on the Super Famicom in Japan and was brought over to America in the form of Earthbound. Mother 3 is being developed for the GBA, and it's unkown whether or not it will get an American release, although it's looking quite bleak considering Nintendo's reluctance to bring over Mother 1 + 2. It's a shame, too, because the Mother series is easily my favorite RPG franchise ever, with the exclusion of Grandia. It's so offbeat and different, and just plain wacky you can't help but love it.

Rich · « **Reply #43 on:** March 29, 2004, 05:38:19 PM »

Damn I would gladly buy a game starring Ness, hes one of my favorite characters in Smash.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #44 on:** March 31, 2004, 09:13:17 AM »

If Nintendo goes with the story that was going to be in the scrapped 64 version of Mother 3, then Ness might not be in the game at all...But I hope they drop it and continue off from the end of Mother 2(Earthbound) with Pokey's revenge...

Ian Sane · « **Reply #45 on:** March 31, 2004, 10:01:47 AM »

Of the three E3s that have had Cube titles on display the one game that wowed me the most was...

Pikmin.

Pikmin wowed me because it was totally unique. It didn't have any connection to a pre-existing franchises, it looked different than any other title, and it's gameplay was original enough that it was hard to classify it into a genre. Some people said it was an RTS but it sure as hell plays different than any RTS I've played. It also came out of nowhere. There were no rumours of its existence, no announcement, no showing at a previous show. It debuted at E3 2001 and was playable. And it was a good game too. One of my fondest memories of my Cube is playing Pikmin for the first time. Not only was it a blast but it also gave me this feeling of playing something new. No matter what the Cube was worth owning because of this unique gameplay experience.

That's what I want to see at E3 2004. No, not Pikmin 2 (though I'm really looking forward to that game) but something that gives me that same feeling that Pikmin did. Something that's unique, comes out of nowhere, and is appealing.

Ness was really only a one time character- the main protagonist of Mother 1 was a fellow by the name of Ninten (oft rumored to be Ness's father), and the hero of Mother 3/Earthbound64, as Bill pointed out, was also going to be an entirely different person. Mother2/Earthbound is just the most well known incarnation of the series, hence Ness's fame.

Rich · « **Reply #47 on:** March 31, 2004, 04:55:44 PM »

Do you guys know of any places that i can read the story of the entire series? I hate coming here and not knowing stuff like that.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #48 on:** March 31, 2004, 04:57:55 PM »

Starmen.net

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #49 on:** March 31, 2004, 05:06:40 PM »

Starmen.net is easily the best Earthbound site on the internet. Unfortunately they've been more concerned with the site itself rather than the games, but one can hardly blame them considering Nintendo's reluctance to continue the franchise up until very recently.
