EarthBound (2018) is Emile's thirty-seventh Let's Play, which was announced on July 15th 2018. It started the next day, on July 16th 2018. This is Emile's first, and so far only, "redux" of a past series.
Description
July 16th, 2018 - October 18th, 2018
One of my all-time favorite games, and what I consider one of the most important games ever created! If only I didn't use it up in my first attempts at making videos... Well, that's what this is for! This contains a lot of new information not known about prior.
Pre-production
Emile talked about doing some book reading in preparation for his "next big project", most likely LP 37. This could imply a game with a heavy mythology, as he did research reading prior to his LP of Okami.[1]
On January 21, Emile Tweeted about needing to prepare for the next LP.[2]
On July 15, Emile revealed that his next let's play will be Earthbound after the original series was released.
Clues
At the end of Pokémon Black & White - Alder History, Emile mentions a hint before the POST-post-game started...
"And then, join us again after that, for something I haven't done before, but HAVE done before, see you guys then."
-Emile[3]
Running Jokes and Gags
Running Gag/Joke | Explanation |
---|---|
"Hello, it's your dad." | Approximately every 2 hours of non-stop play, EarthBound will send an in-game phone call from Ness's father, encouraging the player to take a break. This textbox always begins with the phrase "Hello, it's your dad", leading to some funny moments of its timing (one time, notably, with a Mr. Saturn). |
"In Japan," | Throughout the LP, Emile notes differences between the Japanese and American localisations, often beginning with "In Japan,". This had become so frequent Emile has started to introduce the topic by saying "Say it with me: IN JAPAN,". |
Pray | Emile frequently uses Paula's "Pray" ability (that can wield varying results,) and has had much bad luck with it. |
Jeff getting Mike Wazowski'd | Whenever the Camera Man appears, Jeff's face is frequently hidden or obscured by something, similar to Mike Wazowski in Monsters Inc. |
