Earthbound Beginnings

Post by Ravenfreak »

Earthbound Beginnings is the first game in the Mother series. We didn't actually get an official release until it came out on the Wii Virtual Console, but we were supposed to get it back in 1990 originally. I haven't played this one yet, but I know there's a reference to this game in Earthbound, when you first take on Gigas he displays the image of Ninten, the main protagonist of this game. Have you played this one yet?

Earthbound Beginning’s link to the rest of the Mother series is quite interesting. The passing reference of Ninten when one plays Earthbound adds another layer of excitement to the game. I'm really fascinated with the history of the game as well, and I'd like to experience it all.

Never knew about it till some years ago, and kind of wish I did as the game looks rather fun.

Also Mewtwo's design is based on Gigyas' design in this game too I forgot to mention that!
