Much of our enjoyment of games is relative to expectations, and hearing decades of praise for a game without knowing the specifics almost inevitably sets us up for disappointment. And when you're talking about legendary titles you've never played, that's a dangerous thing. But I didn't know what the story was about, what the tone of the game was, or why exactly people loved it so much. So when Nintendo released it on the Wii U Virtual Console yesterday, I decided it was time to change that.Īll I knew about Earthbound was that it was an RPG with a modern-day setting, which I admit was plenty interesting already. Like Panzer Dragoon Saga or Radiant Silvergun, it was a game I knew primarily because of its reputation instead of its content. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.Įarthbound was one of those games I've always heard spoken of in reverent tones, but never actually played myself. Starmen.This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247.The changelog and modifications done to this hack is QUITE extensive, so head over to ’s Forums for full details on what has been changed and also instructions on how to apply the patch properly: Mainly, create the best experience possible of Mother 2/Earthbound, combining an uncensored version of Earthbound made from scratch (graphical and text-wise), and also adequate a Mother 2 title screen and references, this ROM will no longer be named EarthBound, but rather a proper Mother 2 american version of the game, like it was supposed to be and leaving the main game intact (without modifying any core-gameplay mechanics). This is an Earthbound hack which takes as ultimate goal to make it as close to Mother 2 as possible, taking care of most of the uncensoring that NOA made during the localization of Mother 2, including even the Gas and Title Screen modified to match that of Mother 2, and also a modified Credits sequence.
NOTE: THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY MaternalBound: An EarthBound & Mother 2 Bond!
