This is the Starmen.net's and the EarthBound fanbase's efforts to get Nintendo of America's attention so that they will recognize the franchise's popularity in order for them to bring the GBA port Mother 1+2 and the future Mother 3 to North America.
This is one of the most effective ways of getting Nintendo's attention and there have been results of acts such as this that have been positive such as the Zelda Bonus disc. Only an estimated 500 people called Nintendo asking them to port it over to North America, and it worked. I know for a fact that this is one of the best ways of getting Nintendo's attention. We as EarthBound fans must act together as group and in a professional matter towards Nintendo to garner the respect and attention that we need to to take this community effort seriously. The impact to Nintendo will send a clear message that we truly want Mother 1+2 and 3 for our GBA's. |

Don't have to say this, this is just a premise of what might be most effective when on the phone. Now you are speaking to an NoA Representative. This is the person we have to give our message to. You want to be original in your phone call. But you also want to mention why you are calling. An example would be to say something like you read about Mother 1+2 in Nintendo Power or just heard about its release in Japan. But whatever you do please do not mention PK-Call'N or Starmen.Net in your phone call. Starmen.net and PK Call' N are just an idea and a premise to remind a community of whats going on and what you can do to get game out. You are not being forced to call. You call because you want Mother 1+2 here in North America. You want to talk about EarthBound, not promote an event or a web site. |

There are a few things to remember when speaking to NoA's telephone representatives. It is very important that you understand these facts: -Don't be rude. You are talking to a person, not a machine. They are at work right now having a bunch of people calling them and requesting a game to be imported. I am sure they didn't go to work today expecting this. Treat them with respect. -Be as mature as possible. We want them to take us serious, not just dismiss us as some pranksters. -The person you are talking to DOES NOT make the decision to bring Mother 1+2 and 3 over to North America. Their job is to relay our message to Nintendo and show them that we truly want this series on GBAs across North America. -Make ONLY ONE call per household. If your brother, sister, mom, dad, or even grandma wants to also see Mother 1+2 and 3 on GBA make sure you mention that in your call. And don't call Nintendo again from another line. 1 call per person please! -The person you are talking to might be under going training, or these phone calls might be taped and monitored by Nintendo of America. Try to understand that the person you are talking to has a job to do. |

There have been some questions about PK-Call'N. Here are some of the most common ones:
Q: Why not call Nintendo on 1 day? Q: What if NoA announces the release of Mother 1+2 in North America before we start calling them? A: If NoA does announce the release of Mother 1+2 in North America you should still call and ask about Mother 3. If NoA also announces Mother 3 then still call them and say "thanks." Its the least we can do. Q: I am not from North America, can I still call? A: YES PLEASE DO! It does not matter what country you are from. If you want Mother 1+2 and 3 released in North America, let NoA know! The more calls, the better. Just know that additional phone charges may apply. And remember to read the Phone Conduct. Q: What happens after June 20th? A: After June 20th Mother 1+2 will have already been release in Japan. I do not know what NoA's reaction to everyone calling in and asking them about Mother 1+2 and 3 will be. They may get really excited and realize, "hey, a lot of people want Mother 1+2 and 3 released in North America! So lets do that!" Or.... Nintendo may have no reaction at all. The main reason for calling Nintendo is to let them know EarthBound/Mother fans are out there in North America. |
