>The Blue Marble was not the first clear image taken of an illuminated face of the Earth, since similar shots from the ATS-3 satellite had already been made as early as 1967.

"The Blue Marble" is neither the first picture of earth from space, nor is it the first one to show the earth as a whole circle. If you're referring to the "taken by a human being" aspect, that's also false, Humans have taken handmade shots of earth all through the Mercury and Gemini programs.

It is, however, the first (and only) image to combine all three.

Fuck off /x/; this smells like a backdoor Flat Earth thread.

Was Nintendo of America correct in thinking that Americans didn't give a shit about console RPGs in 1990?

[citation needed]

Also, being taken by a human does not make it "more special" in any way compared to an equal picture taken by a robotic probe. You sentimental twat.

>>4149863
Blue Marble is the first shot of Earth as a whole taken by a human, and not just a portion of it.

>1990
By 1997, Anime was already pretty popular in the west.
In 1990, other than stuff like Mazinger, Robotech or older classic stuff like Astro Boy, anime wasn't really that big, Dragon Ball was still a Japan-only thing in 1990.
Also, even though Nintendo themselves published Dragon Warrior 1-4 in North America, their marketing campaign wasn't as big as the one Sony did for FFVII. Also FMVs.

Like I said before, I’ve started to grow fond of people who like the MOTHER games, but to put that in a cooler way, I might say, “The very lives you’re living now are MOTHER 4.” I really feel that way. “Today we had lots of ridiculous thoughts, today we felt sadness, today we laughed a lot.” That’s what I had set out to do within the world of those games.

To be fair the name "bottle rocket" was made for the English script. In the original Mother 2 they are called "Pencil Rockets".

I don't think that little bit is important in what OP is trying to convey, which is that the original picture has the south pole on the upper part, so the Mother logo has the original Blue Marble, and the officially published one is a flipped picture of it.
But what do you know, on the Mother ending, Earth is now normal, with south pole on the bottom.
Did the dragon made Earth flip upside down with his awakening?

I'm not sure if I understand how exactly that works.

Did anyone else think Mother 3 was kinda shitty? I wanted to like it but I just couldn't get into it like the first 2.

The music isn't as good, which is a real shame because of the whole combo mechanic with the battle system.

It didn't have that same small-town Japmerica feel, Nowhere Islands seemed more like an appropriate setting for a Pokemon or Digimon game. I also didn't like the chapter structure, which I think was kind of a cop-out, since the whole narrative structure of the first 2 games is built around talking to NPCs to figure out what to do and where to go next.

I didn't really like any of the protags except maybe Duster. The NPCs weren't very interesting either. Dialogs just seemed more annoying than funny and weird. They really should've kept with the Kids vs. the World of Adults theme instead of the Luddite Proles vs. the Industrialist Pigmen. At first I thought it was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek joke about playing video games, but after a while it felt like the message was sincere.

>>4155279
I thought it was the only good game in the series while the other two were decent at best

It's just different. Itoi has kind of talked about this, he has said he felt long time fans might be disappointed with Mother 3 but that he wanted to make a sequel that felt distinct.

It really just depends on the person. Personally I actually love all three games equally as I find all three have their strengths and weaknesses.

>It didn't have that same small-town Japmerica feel
It didn't? Tazmily village feels like a very comfy town, and when time passes and it becomes more "modern", it feels like Onett.
I also think the music is fantastic, Shogo Sakai did a really good job, I wasn't expecting to like the soundtrack of Mother 3 as much as I did.

>>4155541
Are you confusing "cozy" with "american small town as seen by a japanese person"?

>>4155585
Well, Mother 3 isn't set in America, but Tazmily still has that american western feel (Flint being a cowboy and all), and as I said, modern Tazmily was pretty much like Onett.

>>4155590
Nowhere Islands seemed more like an Okinawan Australia or New Zealand, what with all the strange and unique animals roaming the land. I also thought "Tazmily" was supposed to be a reference to Tazmania.

Flint also struck me as more of a Crocodile Dundee type than a traditional gunslinging cowboy.
