Mother 3 is amazing, god bless the geniuses on the M3 Translation team, I'm loving the english rom. They need a Mother 1translation though, maybe with updated(Mother 2 or 3) graphics.
I really want to know what this list thing is. I want to see the rest of it! :D I wonder if it's that Famitsu thing or that thing Game Informer mentions as being the best games in Japan (or maybe their both the same thing).
Haven't played the 3rd, but i agree that M2 is #1, and M1 would be 2nd cuz has been the first RPG i ever played(I don't like that dragon+swords+knights shit)
BUZZZ wrongo. Beta copy of the game was made but that's as far as it got. It was given the name Earthbound Zero mostly by fan's I think...the name i'm not so sure but a copy of the game in Eng i am sure about.
I think Nintendo originally had plans to translate Mother and call it EarthBound, but Mother 2 was out by then and the NES was dying, so they just decided to translate Mother 2 and call it EarthBound.
No, the people who ripped EarthBound Zero off the cartridge added the "Zero" to it. It was originally just "EarthBound".
What most likely happened is that they were working on Mother under the name EarthBound. While they were working on it, Mother 2 was announced/came out. Since Mother 2 was on a more recent system and arguably the better game, they scrapped Mother and went to Mother 2, carrying over the EarthBound name.
But the original is still very deserving of the #9 spot of the best games of all time. Fantastic, wonderful game that managed to be several times better than the game it was semi-parodying (Dragon Warrior)
Maybe! But #9 out of every single game ever made is pretty darn high up in ranks... and I'm sure that all of the games after 10 were really darn close in opinions of the editors. :)
Ninten > Ness >>> Lucas :P

The first earthbound game is so beautiful on the inside, if only it didn't have so much level grinding.
I'm still playing it. Too much leveling up! XD

this deserves the 9th spot. Granted I like it better than most NES games, maybe I'm just biased. (Ninten ftw)

This game was relased as a Rom in the usa and was in english. The game was not called Mother though it was called EarthBound Zero.

The "official" English name is simply EarthBound. The Zero was added.

Then that would be dumb. NES - Earthbound. SNES - Earthbound. I don't think any video game had that kind of problem.

Meh, I thought Mother 3 was better...

Argh. Disregard the "Mother 3" comment. I didn't see the "Famicom" label for some reason...>_>

Wow, Mother 1 was good and all, but I personally wouldn't have put it at number 9/100. It had its flaws....
Although I suppose it's a bit out of context. Was this a top 100 NES games countdown? Because then I can agree with sticking this at 9/100.
