The Speed Gamers have Mother Marathon to get Earthbound and Mother on VC

Remino52 | August 28, 2008 | News | Wii

A popular gaming group known as The Speed Gamers play a 55 hour long Mother marathon to get Nintendo put Earthbound and Mother on Virtual Console and get Mother on DS or WiiWare. During the Marathon they will play all Mother games in a span of 55 hours.

We will be streaming a feed live on our website of us playing Mother 1,2,&3 from August 28 at 4pm till August 30 at 11 pm (55 hours straight!). We will feature chat along with video to create an interactive event. Our main goal will be to encourage phone calls to Nintendo of America (NOA) requesting Earthbound to be brought to the U.s in some way shape or form.
