Mother (series)

From the Nintendo Wiki, your gateway to information on everything Nintendo

The Mother series consists of three games released on the Famicom, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy Advance. The games include Mother, EarthBound, and Mother 3. The only game to have been released outside of Japan was EarthBound for the SNES.

[edit] Mother

Six years after the Famicom was released in 1983, Mother was released for it in Japan only. Mother is about a boy named Ninten who goes around the world with his friends defeating aliens using many different powers. Mother is still one of the most traditional games in its genre. The gameplay is heavily reminiscent of the Dragon Quest series, though the appeal stems from its abandonment of other common features that were present in role-playing games at the time, perhaps most notably taking place in a modern day area opposed to the fantasy worlds that were common at the time.

[edit] EarthBound

Five years after the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1990, Earthbound was released for it. It was released in Japan as Mother 2. It is the sequel to Mother and is about a group of people called the Chosen Four, Ness, Paula, Jeff, and Poo, who must stop an alien named Giygas from having the entire universe.

[edit] Mother 3

In 2006, Mother 3 was released in Japan only for the Game Boy Advance. It is the sequel of Earthbound and is famous for its humorous elements, intriguing storyline, and innovative beat-responsive battle techniques.
