Spring is finally here, and to celebrate, Starmen.Net welcomes you to the Mother 3 17th Anniversary Funfest!

Mother 3 17th Anniversary Funfest

April will mark 17 years since Nintendo released the third installment to our favorite series, and so of course we must celebrate this important anniversary. Some of the festivities include the typical fan submission categories (AudioViz, CompArt, HandArt, and Writing), as well as a community playthrough of Mother 3 across nineteen GPPs!

What’s a GPP, you ask? It stands for Game Play Point, a term harkening back to the early days of the EarthBound Funktastic Gameplay Summer! It's time to Get Back in the Game! While we encourage you to play the game for yourself along the way, we've brought in some of Starmen.Net's greatest streaming heroes to play through each portion of the game over the course of the Funfest! All streams will be hosted on the official Starmen.Net Twitch channel, and you can find a schedule in this forum thread.

For any questions or to learn more, check out the Mother 3 17th Anniversary Funfest board!

Do YOU have what it takes to….stream video games???

Events

Attention all gamers, theatre nerds, and audioviz wizards,

I am pleased to announce that we are opening up applications for becoming a FEATURED STREAMER for starmen.net. In this role, you would serve as an ambassador to the starmen.net community by volunteering your time to stream games during funfests, FGPs, GPPs, uncategorized fiestas and more! There has never before been a formal process for becoming a streamer for the site, and this application pool will help us create a talent inventory of vetted creative-types who could bring their talents to a mid-sized audience of earthbound fans. If you think you have what it takes or are even the slightest bit interested, please read on and follow the link to the initial screening survey below!

New EarthBound Merch from My Nintendo!

Merchandise Outside of Japan, there has always been a dearth of EarthBound/Mother related merchandise. Sure, there are the rare old promo items, but in terms of stuff that you could get without being a journalist or games store employee?
Well, my friends, the wait is over!



Available NOW from My Nintendo, you can redeem 400 Platinum Coins for a Phase Distorter luggage tag or an EarthBound Beginnings notebook! Platinum Coins are gained by completing missions such as exploring corporate advertising nightmares websites for recent and upcoming Nintendo titles, logging into the Wii U or 3DS eShop, or clearing objectives in a handful of mobile titles.

While this may sound tedious, if you haven't previously completed these missions, it's pretty easy to amass 800 Platinum Coins for both items just by doing the website related tasks. If you're a Mother merch collector, it's easily worth the effort for some of the few official and non-Smash related pieces of swag released in the US and Canada!

...actually, is this the first official EarthBound Beginnings thing to release outside of Japan? Wowza!
