Earthbound Compilation

**CONTAINS SPOILERS**
(If you haven't finsihed the game, just read this handy description)

EarthBound (MOTHER2ギーグの逆襲, Mazā Tsū Gīgu no Gyakushū?, lit. Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back), is a role-playing video game (RPG) designed by Shigesato Itoi for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The title was developed by Ape, Inc. and HAL Laboratory, Inc. as a sequel to the Japan-only title, Mother. EarthBound was published by Nintendo and released in Japan on August 27, 1994, and months later in North America on June 1, 1995. Despite being successful in Japan, the American version was released to a poor commercial response.[1] Years later, the game is now lauded by gamers for its humorous depictions of American culture and parody of the RPG genre,[2] and has since become a cult classic.[3]

Taking place in a modern day world, players assume the role of a young boy named Ness who awakens to discover a meteor has plummeted to the earth near his home. Upon investigating the meteor, Ness encounters an insect named Buzz Buzz who claims to be from the future. Buzz Buzz proceeds to tell Ness that an evil alien, named Giygas, has overtaken the world in the future and that Ness must undertake a journey to prevent this event.

The sequal to Earthbound, Mother 3 has only been released in Japan, and it looks like it's going to stay that way. This video and all other contest entries are mainly to get the word of Earthbound and Mother 3 out to show Nintendo that there are fans all around the world.

(One of my favourite RPGS of all time, very worth checking out)
