  • I like to set Ness' favorite food to pussy. Then when he gets homesick it says stuff like "Ness caught a whiff of pussy and started craving it."

  • was that worth being JAIL-bound for pal?

  • I first completed this game at age 19 in 2009. I thought the game in terms of graphics were really bland for the time, but the aesthetic was where the visuals shined. The soundtrack was diverse and each song being for a unique situation as all game soundtracks should. The storyline was cool. I haven't played an SNES RPG about a statue that corupts the population of the world aiding an alien invasion. Flaws discussed in part 2.

  • @SMRPGFAN101 Earthbound's gameplay has both pros and cons. You can play it with one hand, the writing is spectacular with each NPC having something interesting to say depending on the situation, the outside of battle mechanics are cool with the preemptive strikes and even killing enemies without fighting which won't drag the game. The flaws are item storage being too little, dated battle mechanics, some commands that don't work, and the broken difficulty curve. There's a non-fanboy review.

  • @SMRPGFAN101 The item storage does bug me. Curse the gang and their tiny backpacks. Tracy is overworked.

  • @Tork110 The main reason I made that comment was to make people think a little before calling it "TEH BEST GAME EVAR!!!" Every game has flaws, even my all time favourite RPG, Super Mario RPG for having lack of character development. Earthbound is no exception to this rule even with the nice aesthetics and writing. Glad people agree on that note!

  • EVERYBODY EMAIL NINTENDO NOW AND BEG FOR ALL OF THE MOTHER GAMES TO BE RE RELEASED 

  • @DARKSAMUScorruption2 I try to warn people from starting new mail-ins. If Starmen.net can't get it done, I'm not sure anybody else can.

    It's why I was a bit down on the Operation: Rainfall thing. It achieved its goal, but I was worried that it was going to end with people just as disappointed as Mother fans were.

  • @Tork110 ya i just got a bs email back about how they dont have any plans releasing them

  • @mrtonybolonga The white house has a channel?? well im gonna rant as well. WHO WILL JOIN ME!

  • i put in the white house's channel"please tell Nintendo to put Earthbound on Virtual Console"

  • earthbound,pokemon,chrono trigger,skyrim,world of warcraft and final fantasy are the best rpgs ever!!

  • @TeamXYZproductions Never played Skyrim or World of Warcraft. Haven't played Pokemon since Red, although I've thought about purchasing Pokemon Snap for VC.

  • Man, is it just me that thinks Ness looks ginormous on the bicycle?

  • This game stole my childhood

  • they need to make a 3d earthbound for the 3ds or the wii

  • This game proves that Nintendo can do what Sony Magican't.

  • I can't decide what's better - Earthbound or Final Fantasy VI.

    Well, I guess they can both be my favourites

  • Love this game!

  • This is the most depressing video game ever

  • @cky964life no it's not. it's fun! and funny

  • 00:26 TRON

  • Gaw, this game basically shows that children can do some of the most amazing things. If only my dad and stepmom could believe that.

  • They should make a remake of this game! :O

  • Nintendo didn't release this game worldwide.

    See, even the biggest company in the world does mistakes too.

  • Can you tell me how I can get this so I can play it on PC? Including any info I what I need to get it running and anything else I may need to know?

  • @TheSuhreeuhlTube Download ZSNES or SNES9X, then hope the Fairy Rommother delivers an EarthBound rom to your computer.

    (You might want to make sure your antivirus software is up to date when you go searching the web. Just saying.)

  • The music @0:25 scares the hell out of me.

  • @RaggaeOfFunk me too!!!! whats it called?

  • People hate the name "poo" but the fact of the matter is that it's not pronounced like "poop" but rather, it is pronounced "poh" the second "O" is just to elongate the poh sound. So it's more like pohh, yaknow? Japanese has taught me this.

  • This is definitely one of my all time favorite RPG's.  I can't count the number of times I've played through it. Ahh the memories. . .

  • I bought this game yesterday and the title screen music gave me a wtf feeling lol

  • This is the best game to play stoned. EVER.

  • Okay, I got all the way to the monkey's asking for all sorts of shit right. I only have Dan with me, did I mess up somewhere?

  • @Zephaniah84 Like its just me and Dan, I went to the jail where Paula was and nobody is there. Ohh wait did she get kidnapped or something.

  • @Zephaniah84 You need to get certain items and give them to each monkey blocking a door. You're required to have two items bought from a store or obtained elsewhere before you can complete the monkey caves. Paula was kidnapped at the mall. You need to complete this part to rescue her.

  • @Tork110 Thanks man, this is not the kind of game to pick up and put down at yearly intervals for sure.

  • I remember crying when I watched that "War against Giygas" thing.I still gives me the chills!!!

  • check out my earthbound movie trailer!

  • It's a shame that this game flopped in the states. Very underrated!

  • I never played Earthbound or Mother, but only reading the story, I know that Earthbound/Mother is a AMAZING GAME

  • Seannaners bought me here

  • Earthbound is awesome :)

  • I fucking sold this game for 20 dollars a couple years ago :/

    Our original copy, I just wanna play it now

  • @OFWGKTAx DUDE THATS INSANE!!! Right now its $100 used!! 

  • Is the SNES region locked? I plan to buy one with my birthday money as well as Earthbound but I live in Ireland and am unsure whether or not it will work on a PAL SNES.

  • this game is actually a sub. message about abortion

  • @BreanaHunter How?

  • NINTENDO

    Y U NO RELEASE THIS IN THE UK???

  • @HigurashiHell Sadly, Earthbound didn't recieve so much welcome in the US so nintendo thought, "Meh, nobody will like this in the UK either," Poor choice nintendo, poor choice. :(

  • Attention all Earthbound/Mother fans!

    Want a sequel/Remake of Mother in Northern American? Check out OPERATION STARSTORM on Facebook!

  • 1:53 charly brown!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?!

  • Favorite game of all time. I sometimes get tears when I play this game.

  • I love Earthbound....I last played it about a year ago

  • Imagine cosplaying ... as giygas 0.0

  • nothing can ever beat this game! The storyline was epic, the charters you met and mystery. god i miss the good old days of simple graphics and only needing a computer play. Yet even now it still beats all of the new games, its just a classic.

  • Molly brought me here

  • i love earthbound but i have a problem. It seems to lose my saves and i have to start over. I had a file that was very far along and when i turned it on it was gone. Also i havent played in a day and it still lost my info. Does any one know what the cause may be? Thanks for uploading this:)

  • I can truly say that this game is the only RPG (besides Dragon Quest and Pokemon) I just can't get bored of! In fact this is my favorite game.

  • @TheLegendaryJames Aww no love for the Paper Mario series? I mean I love both the Mother series and the Paper Mario series (though I like Thousand Year Door more than SPM or the first game in the series) because they both seem to use humor to keep you going (though I have to admit the original Paper Mario's humor was pretty lighthearted which is one reason I prefer TYD for it's more subtle hidden underlying adult humor) and like Earthbound the NPCs will usually have *2bcont.*

  • @TheLegendaryJames *Continued* and like Earthbound the NPCs will usually say something that will give you a chuckle. Ah well though did you know that Pokemon was actually made by Ape inc. the same Ape inc. that had a hand in making the first two Mother games, only these days they go by the name creatures inc. Though only several people from Ape/Creatures had involvement with Mother 3,. well the completed GBA version at least, they were too busy with their own matters to *2bcont.*

  • @TheLegendaryJames *Continued* they were too busy with their own matters for their whole company to play a major part in developing Mother 3 on the GBA but they did have involvement with the N64 version of Mother 3 at least until it got canceled.

  • Thanks to earthbound i became an expert in tanning my handpalms.

  • now i know the game that Ness in SSBB comes from i learned

  • best . . . intro . . . eva!!!

  • Earthbound is quite an amazing game. I would constantly see my friend's brother playing it on SNES back in the day, but never asked what it was or even attempted to try it. Many years later a friend loaned a copy to me and I played it like crazy.

    It's a bit dated, but don't let that hold you back. It has a great, heart-warming (sometimes terrifying) story, bizarre characters and many genuinely funny moments. Definitely one of the best RPGs ever made.

  • Honestly?

    I tried playing it, but I just couldn't.

    I really pressed myself and everything, but I just can't.

    (I can't stand the battles.)

    (at all)

  • @Hiibashiri Well...thats because you dont like turn based battling, but - if you really get in to the emotion and meaning etc. of the game, then you'll really love it.

  • @dcent2 Uh, no.

    I love turned-based battles.

    I'm pretty sure it's the first-person mode.

  • I think Mother 3 is actually better than Earthbound. Earthbound is ...I don´t know , empty in a way .

  • @MrSureyoucan Earthbound isnt empty, Mother 3 is just brim-filled with emotion

  • 1:35  IS THAT CHEF?

  • I find the "WAR AGAINST GIYGAS" part scary, including that alien music. lol

  • Earthbound = greatest game of all time. 

  • @DramaticUsername *Head becomes red with pure fan boy rage*

    SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFF*************************­******************************­******************************­**************************** UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP­!!!!! *Earth-shattering explosion*

  • I wish I could buy this, but I would get year-lasting whines from my parents X(

  • @Styroksipaprika Did you try telling them that Tork110 said it was OK?

    "You know, Tork......From the Internet!"

  • @Tork110 lol'd.

  • @Styroksipaprika Your parents must suck. I bought EarthBound at $130, and even if it was at $300, it would still be worth every penny. But, I'm the same guy who jizzes his pants every time he hears the words "EarthBound", has a Hatness, a bunch of EarthBound stuff from the FanGamer Store, and bows to my EarthBound cartridge every time I see it in my SNES, so that's completely my opinion. ...I need a new hobby...

  • @themangOMEGA Right on man same here....

  • @Styroksipaprika

    google "snes emulator"

    google "earthbound rom"

    voila

  • @pondo0105 Did that already. Still I wish that I could actually buy it.

  • @Styroksipaprika i know but if nintendo wanted you to buy it they would actually re-release it, instead of devoting their time and money to shite like mario party 9

  • @pondo0105 Well, I agree that they should re-release some older games instead of just shitting new games out of their ass like Mario Party 9, Nintendo is starting to sound like Disney which whenever it takes a crap, produces a new crappy 3D movie with fuckin' penguins on it.

  • @Styroksipaprika Yeah and besides we all Know that Mario Party 1 and 2 (and possibly 3) on the N64 were much superior to any of the more recent entries in the Mario Party series. I only use emulation because well the economy is crap I live in San Diego County and since that place is a toursit spot in California it's expensive to just live here and buy stuff we need like food and drinks, that and I have no SNES (So sue Me for having a Genesis as a kid but I wasn't even *2bcont.*

  • @Styroksipaprika *Continued* (So sue Me for having a Genesis as a kid but I wasn't even that much aware of the 16-bit console wars plus I still don't regret playing the awesome Sonic the Hedgehog platformers on it) and the stupid legal issues with the game prevent it from coming out on Virtual Console, Nintendo really doesn't like to aknowledge Earthbound's existance outside of Ness and Lucas as fighters in Smash Bros. and just as fighters as they even removed the Earthbound demo from *2bcont.*

  • @Styroksipaprika *Continued and sorry for the long comment* and just as fighters as they even removed the Earthbound demo from the U.S. (and any other releases that weren't in Japan) from Brawl, Nintendo doesn't like to advertise Ness and Lucas outside of them as just characters from Smash Bros.

  • @Styroksipaprika I personally have a cartridge but they are like 60 dollars. Get an emulator and download the ROM if you can find it.

  • @LordPaynus Already got it on emulator, though because it's a fairly good game, I'd pay for it.

  • @Styroksipaprika

    get am emulator, thats how most people play it

  • @KRATOSxARUION I have said like million times that I have this on emulator, but I still wish that I had SNES and copy of EB.

  • @Styroksipaprika download zsnes and a copy pf the earthbound ROM. =]

  • @Styroksipaprika Explain to them that you can sell this game at any time for the same price on Ebay.

  • @victoneter Chances of convincing my parents are zero, so let it be : P

  • @Styroksipaprika

    I felt your pain for the longest time until I found a wallet on the street with about 190 dollars in it. You can already tell what I spent it on. DAKOTA!!!

  • @sk8er4ever0101 ok that settles it then :) gonna sell crap ton of old yugioh cards to get it :)

  • Is $100 a good deal on this game?

  • @WolfpackRoses Yes!

    Ive had my original copy since i was a kid!

  • As awesome as this is, no one should ever see it.

    Then they wouldn't be playing earthbound right away.

  • @TheDarkLordGiygas No, that's Mother 2's slogan in Japan.

  • WTF? I feel like I just emerged from my cave when I discovered this game just recently!!

  • the tv static at the beginning looks a lot like giygas when he's going through his death sequence...

  • wat this game about?

  • @Jitterskull Wisdom, Courage, and Friendship.

  • @Tork110 Can I ask ou where I can download it and port for it? :p game looks nice.

  • @Jitterskull its for the snes, but the roms for it i think are illegal

  • @SuperYoshiBaka yeah it's illegal if you don't own the game already.

  • @Tork110 More like: "Kids, grownups, and even young women.".

  • @Tork110 have you noticed that it looks so much like the triforce? (i played earthbound)

  • @Jitterskull And hippies fighting with toothbrushes,aliens,baseball bats,13 year olds saving the world

  • @Jitterskull And don't forget 3 minutes, the devil, terrible photos, life saving bears, ringing bells, belching, music, and talking rocks.

  • fuck you guys this game is the shit i might have played threw the game 5 times already cant get enough of it.

  • earthbound was the reason i hacked my wii (to play it on my wii)..

  • @DramaticUsername @DSplayer1212 Tag-teaming trolls. Very original.

  • @DramaticUsername the things that Reggie says sometimes are SH*T he is the reason the Mother and Mother 3 dont come to America

  • @DSplayer1212 No he's not.

  • @Tork110 um one time a guy asked to Reggie what will be the release date for Mother 3 and he sayed he will not bring the game here

  • @DSplayer1212 He can't bring the game over. Nintendo of Japan is in charge. Reggie just gives speeches and plays to Nintendo fanboys.

  • Reggie: THIS GAME SUCKS!

    All Mother/Earthbound fans: SHUT THE F*CK UP!

  • i finished playing this today :) its the best

  • Pokkemon is overrated!

    Earthbound>Pokemon.

  • I always have a place for this game. Always.

  • let's see...

    Graphics: great for the time

    Gameplay:like any other RPG, but with lot more features and strategies(awesome)

    Story: NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE IT

    Overall:11/10 - its really one of the best games ever made.

  • 1:44 BASS

  • Gunna build a time machine and stop myself from selling my Earthbound copy and Strategy guide as a kid!!

  • I still got this game!

    

  • This games stinks!...of greatness!

  • @applejackman THANKS :D now i finally got what NOA thought when they made that slogan.... And it's like living in your gymsocks of AWESOME(NESS)

  • I met the mother series via smash. When I first saw Ness, I said: hmm...maybe this game is cool.

    I never expected this game to have the most disturbing mind raping badass final boss ever.

  • Any time I sit back and start daydreaming about ANY point in time of my childhood, I think of Earthbound.

  • earthbound and the rest of the MOTHER trilogy is way better than pokemon.

  • @crazydreams95 Don't get me wrong I like earthbound but I grew up with pokemon

  • u gotta admit Earthbound is better than pokemon.

  • @TheTop10YouPick You lucky bastard. You are your expensive-ass cartridge...

  • @XanderThaGreat *Continued and sorry for the long comment* I mean even the people who are introduced to the series via Smash end up loving the game just as much as any other fans who weren't introduced that way and they show they're just as dedicated as any other Mother fans. I mean it shouldn't matter how they were introduced besides this series needs all the attention it can get because it certainly doesn't get it from American and European sides of Nintendo itself.

  • @XanderThaGreat *Continued* I mean it's not like theres any law that says they can't wonder where Ness is from and go find out the answer to that question out of curiosity. I think Smash Bros. has been good for the Mother series I mean due to it tons of people become Mother fans who are just as dedicated to the series as anyone else, I mean who cares how they became fans so long as they love the game as much as anyone else I mean even the people who are introduced to Earthbound via Smash *2bcont

  • @XanderThaGreat Is that so wrong? I mean thats how I was introduced to this series, that and if I hadn't come here out of curiosity to see what Earthbound was like by watching Tork's videos of it on Youtube I certainly probably wouldn't have ever played it. To be fair what does it matter if fans are introduced to the Mother series via Smash Bros. They have a right to try it out of the curiosity sparked by Smash Bros. and it's trophies I mean mean it's not like theres any *2bcont.*

  • @scottydog94 I had no idea what even Yoshi's Island was until the N64 era reading about it on the old Nintendo(dot) com years ago because I didn't know much since I was just a little kid playing a Genesis/Megadrive in the 16-bit era and I certainltly don't remember seeing any advertisements for Earthbound back when I was a little kid during that era of gaming, I still saw Nintendo's ads for other games but don't remember seeing a single one for Earthbound back then.

  • @scottydog94 Well can you blame Me? I had a Genesis growing up in the 16-bit era and what about the people in Europe who never even got a chance to play Earthbound or any game from the Mother series because no Mother games have ever been released in Europe, not even Earthbound/Mother 2 was even released in Europe despite it having a translation in America so Mother fans in Europe's first and only Mother game release exposure is through Smash Bros. plus I had no idea what even *2bcont.*

  • thumbs up if you changed poo's name :/

  • @CHAOSin8bits hahahaha, no thumbs up on your comment

  • I'm buying this game from a friend for $100!!!

  • @mistertitanic Dude. Ebay.

  • @deadmau5suckz Now you're just trolling.

  • @deadmau5suckz

    oh you :3

  • @deadmau5suckz If only the internet had more like you....

  • @TacoNinja18

    *whiff* Smells like AWESOME!

  • @deadmau5suckz modern worfare 2 sucks

  • I really hope all the MOTHER/Earthbound games come to 3DS... If not... Then what? I hope Nintendo does it... with proper advertising and support they can make BILLIONS!!! Come on people, we need to spread the word and demand what we want.

  • @112deepblue

    well due to its slow rise in popularity its probably gonna be remade, but i wouldn't expect it anytime soon

  • Ok how many of you are here (or first came here) because you broke down wanting to know what this Earthbound/Mother game that Ness is from because of constantly seeing the game's title in the Smash Bros. series coming here to discover what the heck Earthbound is and to find out about Ness's origins and to see what his game is or was like? (I know thats a mouthful but no shame in coming to Youtube to find some videos of it thats pretty much part of how I was introduced to it).

  • 0:11 to 0:38

    Easily one of my favorite intros to any game. It's a shame that there never was a scene like this, and that the game strayed into creepy territory in so few places (really only Moonside, which was still pretty comical, Mu training, and the end). I could see that intro fitting in a completely different game.

  • thanx it's really reminds me of  my great childhood memories...this is one of my favorite game by SNES...

  • Amazing game but I'm saddened that my parents never bought me a SNES so I never had a chance to play it until I beat it on my PS3 with an emulator.

  • Guys, let it go.

  • my childhood revolved around earthbound!! :D

  • i remember playing this when i was a kid. couldnt stop playing it.

  • :)

    

  • Greatest SNES game ever.

  • Glad that this game selled like shit. BORING RPG

  • @Boomkittyrocks hi i'm Boomkittyrocks! i like to spend my precious time looking up youtube videos about things i don't like and then complain about them!

  • @breloom657 Never said I didn't like the video, but the game was shit, I am entitled to my own opinion.

  • @Boomkittyrocks you didn't understand my post... why? i'm sad now :(

    it took me 3 days to type it... just for you :(

    seriously though. i dont care what you think about the video. i just found it funny that you wasted time to look up and "complain" about a 15 year old game you don't like. oh, and this game sold quite well in Japan, so... yeah.

  • @breloom657 LMFAO and that where is should stay. Seriously you sound like such a moron. You seem to care enough to posted a reply that was an opinion. Your so pathetic xD

  • @Boomkittyrocks if you can point out a fanboyish thing i said, i will give you a cookie (a freaking COOKIE!). i can't be a fanboy if i don't even defend the game. i only made fun of you (which was wrong but, you know i was just joking around XD)

    oh and, apparently, you're NOT entitled to your own opinion on YouTube. trust me, most people are too young and selfish to care about others

    well, i think this will be my last comment. i don't wanna flood the comments with this

  • @breloom657 Considering you are an earthbound fanboy you must have been very mad. LMFAO!!!! shitty game but awesome music xD

  • Can someone PLEASE tell me where i can play this? I looked on Amazon and eBay and there is NO WAY I'm spending 100 dollars on an "acceptable" cartridge. I have tried numerous times to play it on an emulator, which always fails and I have tried the online Java thing and that won't load. Someone help me please.

  • @sonicfilms123 Find an emulator

  • i really want to play EarthBound 1 &2 but i cant find an english download. anyone know one?

  • @hnutr1 The same group that translated Mother 3 to English is currently working on Mother 1 + 2, so you can look foward to that. :)

  • is this game disturbing?

  • an anime of this would be cool. but it should be drawn like dr.slump and dragon ball were :3

  • Whats so good about earthbound that everyone say its so good?
