The Return Of Earthbound For GBA

Posted by simoniker on from the ness-on-the-nes-and-snes dept.

warmgun writes "One of the biggest cult video game series ever is getting a second chance at stardom for a new generation. The games are the console RPGs Mother 1 and Mother 2. Mother 2 was released in the US as Earthbound on the Super Nintendo, and stars Ness, more recently known for appearing in Super Smash Bros. More info on the games and their currently Japanese-only GameBoy Advance re-release can be found at Starmen.net. Help the site convince Nintendo to release this gem Stateside!"

    Screen shots from the Mother 1+2 commercial.
    Looks pretty much unchanged from the original NES version.

    No need to wait for a US release. Gameboys don't have region coding so you can get the Japanese version through your favorite importer and play it on your US or Euro Gameboy.

    It shows all of the music that Hiro Tanaka has made for games.

    The last tune that he composed was for Earthbound.
