EarthBound/WMG: Difference between revisions

== 199X is 1994. ==

== Ness's dad is Ninten == Not entirely compatable with the Buzz-Buzz theory, but still fits with the Ness is Giygas theory...and makes it even more ironic!

* Mother takes place in the 80's and Earthbound takes place in the 90's - not long enough for Ninten to grow up and have an 8 to 12 year old child. Believe me, I thought it through...

** Ninten could be old enough. He has a former classmate in Podunk Town who works at the burger shop.

*** Actually, the beginning of the game explicitly states that it takes place in ''1980'', not 1989, so it's perfectly plausible.

Why not? He's got power so great you can't grasp his true form, and the sprite actually looks a bit like Cthulhu's head. He's also insanely powerful, and doesn't have to move to kill all of your teammates (And You! with even more ease than is possible to imagine.

 

This is why the game, despite taking place in 199X, is still like 1950s America and has things like housetaker robots for rich people. Mother 3 takes place on a remote island never hit by any nukes, and not suffering nuclear fallout - the day everybody got on "The Ship" was when the bombs fell, and the ship itself is a metaphor for a flying Vault-Tec vault.

 

 

== Ness's dad is [[Metalocalypse|Charles Foster Ofdenson]]. ==
