Earthbound


Now before you asked, this game is very old, so i do not expect anyone to know what this game is about, however this will make this blog very informing so let me explain. the Earthbound series (know as the Mother series in Japan) is a RPG which stand for role playing game which was Developed by Ape (who is now know as game freak and made pokemon) and Hal laboratory (big developing team for smash). The game consistes of a boy named Ness, who was just a little boy, until one fateful night when a meteor crashed in his hometown and he learned from a bug from the future that he was destined to save the world, yeah a little weird, but a nice beginning as well. thourought the game, he faces many treats, however gatheres friends along the way which yes he was destines to save the world, however it is said that 3 boys and one girl would save it so Ness teams up with them to free the world from evil. I love the game, it has a great soundtrack, its gameplay is very fun, i really like the ennemie and boss designs, and some of the character designs as well. this game though, it wowed me, because of its iconic characters and story, you'll never find such a detailed and even a story that effects your emotion in any other Nintendo game, its definitely in a league of its own. however this game was released in 1995, however it sold poorly in the U.S at those times, however in around 2008, people discovered the greatness of it and now is one of the most expensive games ever, a brand new copy of this game can be sold at around 1 grand, yeah i know its that good, however those you don't want to pay 1000$ on eBay you cant get it on your Wii U for 10$. All around a exceptional game in most aspects and has to be hands down one of my favorite games of all time.

  2. I've never heard of this game before. It sounds very cool. I know Ness because he is one of the characters from Super Smash Bros, but I never knew he was from Earthbound. This blog post made me find Ness's hometown. Thank you! I might play this game out and try to save the world!

  3. Great post Joe, I like how you took the liberty of choosing such an old game and explaining it for us who might not know what it even was. Before reading this post I had never heard of such a game but I did recognize the character from Supper Smash Bros Brawl.
