Overview

EarthBound, known as MOTHER in Japan, is an offbeat RPG series about young heroes and their companions facing extraordinary trouble. You explore towns, talk to eccentric people and fight with psychic powers and everyday objects, on journeys where absurd humour sits alongside tender moments. Representative games: EarthBound Beginnings (1989): Sets an unusual adventure in motion with baseball bats, psychic powers and eight melodies to find. EarthBound (1994): Its rolling health counters give you a brief chance to act before incoming damage finishes counting down. Mother 3 (2006): Adds rhythm to turn-based battles, letting well-timed button presses extend an attack. Suitable for: For players who linger over odd conversations and enjoy stories that can move from ridiculous to touching, with time spent getting to know each town and travelling companion.
