Thanks to a huge fan campaign, Nintendo has finally mustered the courage to rerelease EarthBound in the United States for the first time since it first arrived. Even though nearly two decades have passed, this is still one of the best RPGs ever made, and among its plethora of wonderful features sits an astounding soundtrack that embodies the quirky, the creepy, the endearing, and the downright lovable elements of this timeless adventure.
This game's beloved soundtrack is examined and celebrated in this week's episode of Tuesday Tunes, MoarPowah's podcast featuring some of the best video game music of all time.
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.
EarthBound is bona fide classic and part of gaming royalty that somehow still feels like a hidden gem.
The battle music while fighting Giygas and the battle music for fighting some of the mechanical/space creatures is fanatastic, some of my all time favorite. Everybody dubstep with fuzzy pickles!
