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!"

    Yeah, you can get it imported, but like any Japanese RPG, knowing the language makes it ALOT better, otherwise its not much fun.
