I couldn't find a thread on all the games in the MOTHER series, so I decided to make one. What do you guys think of it? How were you introduced to it. Me? I first heard about it on Wikipedia, but shoved it aside and never looked at it until a few months ago. Right now I am playing MOTHER 1 / Earthbound Zero! So, get your chatter on and talk about Earthbound!

1. How were you introduced to it?
2. What is your favorite game in the series?
3. Starmen.net? Do you have one?

(If there already is a thread for ALL the games in Earthbound or MOTHER, sorry, please close this.)

I was introduced to it after seeing that a let's player that I followed on YouTube (NintendoCapriSun) had done a let's play. I only saw his Mother 3 one, and that's the only one I've ever played. It has a nice deep storyline and nice sprites. And most of all, it has some of the best music tracks I've ever seen in a video game.

Sadly, the only way to get an english copy of Mother 3 is an emulator. The patch which makes it in English is an official one, though.

And Hytyjin, I have seen Chuggaaconroy's LP of Mother 3.

Also, do you guys know about the Mother 4 project? It's an unofficial Mother game, and the link to their site can be found here: http://mother4.andonuts.net/
The screens and music sound really good, I hope they finish it!

Yes, I talked a staff member for it! It seems very well made! Go to Starmen.net to get patches for MOTHER 3.

Was playing through Mother 3 before I gave it to my girlfriend who completed it. We both agree that this is one of the best games either of us have ever played.

I haven't completed this yet, so will duck out of this thread to avoid spoilers, haha.

Mother 3 is probably the saddest game in the whole series. It's so tear jerking from beginning to end ;(

I found out about this series when I first saw Ness on Super Smash Bros. But I never really knew what series he was from until the past few years. I never got around to playing these games though. I kinda want them to make a new one, since it would be easily and cheaply obtainable, (At least it would be compared to the other games) but it probably wouldn't happen on Wii. It would probably be Wii U, or 3DS.

Hah I cried when i finished reading the mother 3 story.

...I hope I do...Haha!

I need to hurry up and finish the first game! I'm still in Magicant with the nerdy kid! (I named him ATARI) I can't wait to play MOTHER 3, I don't know ANYTHING about the story yet.

what i dont get is why mother and mother 3 not released in america

what i dont get is why mother and mother 3 not released in america

MOTHER 1 was already translated and ready to go in the US, but since it was going to be killed by the SNES not long after it was going to be released, they pulled it.
So...

MOTHER 1 Translated and Ready (Also a preview in NINTENDO POWER)
MOTHER 1 Pulled from US
SNES in US
MOTHER 2 (Earthbound) Translated and Ready
MOTHER 2 in US
MOTHER 3....Nothing

Mother 3 has things that might not be appropriate for the American children. Sexual innuendos, a slightly disturbing story line, ect...

Mother 2 (Earthbound) is my favorite of the series

Spoiler Alert!

Spoiler (Click to View)

Man, poor Lucas, having Claus be the Masked Man. I mean, how many of us can go toe-to-toe with our siblings? And his mother died protecting the both of them? Geez, that's a bit extreme right there. Dark game, man. Dark game. Shameless Earthbound tagline quote! "No crying until the End!" I broke that rule twice.

I ve played Earth bound but never finished and also isnt Mother 1 Illegal 2 both emulate and buy the game ?

thanks SDamon for awesome Sig

No. If you buy it, you can emulate it. As long as you own the game, emulation isn't illegal. (Of course, making a ROM is, so ideally, there is no way to do so in the first place. Hence why I bought the games, except off of someone who had already finished.)
