Another day of birthdays, which I seem to only have four days of gaming facts left in my documents. So I'll need to Wiki the shit out of August (that will be my Sunday afternoon), just to bring the birthdays into their third month and a reason to keep returning to the forum I've spent the last 12 years next month (although I'm now posting elsewhere - this is home). :cool:

Videogame and Console Birthdays
Mother
Released 29 years ago in Japan, for the Famicom.
Never released outside of Japan, there was actually a prototype for the NES which had an English translation. However, the English translation was not released and it mainly came to light when it was reported the Mother 1+2 cartidge for the GameBoy Advance, Mother was re-translated into Japanese, though again it wasn't released outside of Japan.
Though the port was only released in Japan, the versions of Mother and Mother 2 included in Mother 1 + 2 are actually re-translations of the English versions of the games even though, somewhat ironically, Mother never had a proper English release. The name of the company that directed the port and re-translation has never been announced by Nintendo. (http://earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Mother_1_%2B_2#Development)
Dr. Mario
Released 28 years ago in Japan, for the Famicom and GameBoy.
Nintendo also released the GameBoy version of Dr. Mario on this day in 2011 for the 3DS, which they totally missed the 20th anniversary by a year (it was the 21st anniversary in 2011).
Batman: The Video Game
Released 28 years ago in Japan, for the MegaDrive.
Donkey Kong Land
Released 23 years ago in Japan, for the GameBoy.[/SPOILER]
