Earthbound Beginnings brings series origin west today, 15 years after release
Published on
Mother, the first game in the series we know as Earthbound in the west, is finally available in English.
Earthbound Beginnings was revealed ruing Nintendo's pre-E3 presentations today, and will release on the eShop in North America at 6:00pm PT today - just a few hours away.
Mother launched on the NES in 1989, and was not localised. Although fan translations are available, this is the first time the much-lauded RPG has been available officially.
The cult-favourite SNES game we know as Earthbound is called Mother 2 in Japan. A third series entry, Mother 3, was released on Game Boy Advance in 2006, and has likewise not been officially localised.
Take a look at Earthbound Beginning's trailer below.
