EarthBound is bona fide classic and part of gaming royalty that somehow still feels like a hidden gem.
IGN writes: Mother 3 is one of the most hotly-desired RPGs ever, having never received an official translation in North America despite the cult popularity of its predecessor, Earthbound. But over all these years, series creator Shigesato Itoi has never weighed in on the discussion - at least until now."
The long-awaited documentary, which highlights the online community that's built around cult SNES RPG EarthBound over the years. It's an examination of the power of online communities and fandom, and the impact that Shigesato Itoi's series has had on its fans.
The Mother series is one of the most beloved franchises in gaming history. Known as Earthbound in the west, the series is renowned for its quirkiness, unique graphics, and nontraditional RPG gameplay, but it hasn't always had great success. Jason Capp is here to discuss whether it is worth bringing the franchise back to life... or not.
The odd game does have die hard fans out there. There is a NES and a SNES game Nintendo dropped the SNES port onto the SNES mini the cart alone fetches a pretty penny on Ebay. I have to get around to playing Earthbound on my SNES mini I tried it out from what I played I liked it. If Nintendo made a new game I would probably grab it wish Nintendo made a new Star Tropics as well.
