So I started playing Earthbound.

Why is there a cyclops, and why is Ness sort-of friends with it? I thought this game was supposed to be set in 90s pseudo-America.

His eyes are hiding under his hair, and that "eye" is his mouth. The "brow" is his pig nose.

Huh. I guess I could sort-of see that.

Nah, at least nostalgiafags know that the game is pretty campy, and the sequels are not even that good

You're stupid. Also the SEQUEL was pretty good regardless. It had some of the highest attention to detail with the spriting for a Gba game, and the music pushed the Gba's soundcard to the limits. Not to mention the dense compositions of the music. The story was good and the gameplay was improved quite abit.

I'm you could find some interview with Shigesato Itoi where he says that he was going for a sort of romanticized suburban America. I think I remember in an interview he said that Stand By Me was an influence on Mother 1.

The "copy paste" aspects for story would be that both Ness and Lucas were going from point A to point B of important places because the game says so.
All in all, you're wrong anon.
Eat my ass.

There were cyclops back then. I went to sunday school with a cyclops. Then fucking aliens showed up. Crazy shit, Yo.

I think that anon's talking about the NES game. Most likely because that anon is a scrub who thought that the GBA remake was the original version.
