p:abstract
  • EarthBound, known in Japan as Mother 2: Gyiyg no Gyakushū, is a role-playing video game designed by Shigesato Itoi for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. The title was developed by Ape, Inc., Pax Softnica and HAL Laboratory as a sequel to its Japan-only predecessor, Mother. EarthBound was published by Nintendo and released in Japan, and months later in North America. Despite being successful in Japan, the American version was released to a poor commercial response. Years later, the game is now lauded by gamers for its humorous depictions of American culture and parody of the RPG genre, and has since become a cult classic. 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-like alien 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. However, this won't be easy, because Ness's neighbor, Pokey, is in on Giygas plans through the majority of the story.A direct sequel to EarthBound for the Nintendo 64, entitled "EarthBound 64", was in development for many years before finally being cancelled. This project eventually resurfaced as a Game Boy Advance title called Mother 3 and was released only in Japan. In 2006, Mother creator, Shigesato Itoi, declared that there were no plans for any more installments in the Mother series. However, with the release of the Wii, many expect that EarthBound will be re-released on the Virtual Console,, and the game has even gotten rated by the ESRB with "Wii" as its console. while rumors have also been circulating regarding the release of the Mother trilogy for the Nintendo DS.

  • Creado en 1994 por Nintendo para la consola SNES, EarthBound es una parodia de los juegos de rol (RPG) que combina una buena historia con situaciones divertidas y cómicas, y que a diferencia de otros juegos de rol, sitúa la historia en un contexto "real" y contemporáneo. EarthBound es la segunda entrega (y la única que salió de Japón) de la serie conocida en su país de origen como Mother. Esto hace que el primer juego sea conocido por los fans como EarthBound Zero (es)
  • Earthbound (Mother 2 Japanissa) on Nintendon Super Nintendo Entertainment Systemille kehittämä tietokoneroolipeli, joka julkaistiin vuonna 1994. Se on toinen osa Mother-pelisarjassa, joskaan sillä ei ole suoraa juonellista yhteyttä sarjan ensimmäiseen osaan, Motheriin. Earthboundia ei ole julkaistu Euroopassa, mutta yksi pelin päähahmoista, Ness, esiintyy pelattavana hahmona Euroopassakin julkaistussa pelissä Super Smash Bros. Melee. Muita pelin päähenkilöitä ovat Paula, Jeff ja Poo. Pelin tavoitteena on pelastaa maailma avaruusolioilta, minkä saavuttaakseen Nessin on ratkaistava arvoituksia ympäri maailmaa. Peliä markkinoitiin Yhdysvalloissa aggressiivisesti muun muassa Nintendo Power -lehden ja niin sanottuihin scratch-and-sniff-hajukortteihin liitetyn kilpailun avulla. Pelin myynti jäi tästä huolimatta Japanin ulkopuolella korkeintaan kohtalaiseksi, mutta se on jälkikäteen kerännyt kulttisuosiota myös länsimaissa. (fi)
  • EarthBound è un videogioco di genere GdR pubblicato per Super Nintendo nel 1994 in Giappone e l'anno successivo negli Stati Uniti. Il gioco è stato realizzato in gran parte da Shigesato Itoi, autore anche del predecessore Mother . Nonostante la Nintendo of America avesse intenzione di rilasciare Mother sul mercato USA, la cosa non fu mai portata a termine e il gioco rimase un'esclusiva giapponese. Ciò non si dimostrò un grosso problema, dato che Mother e Mother 2 si rassomigliano solo nelle tematiche trattate e per il resto sono del tutto indipendenti l'uno dall'altro. (it)
  • Earthbound, conhecido no Japão por Mother 2, é um RPG para o console Super Nintendo, feito pelas subsidiárias da Nintendo, Ape, Inc e HAL Laboratory, e lançado em 1995. É um dos poucos RPGs que se passam em dias "atuais", e apesar de não ter feito muito sucesso, se tornou um jogo cult, apreciado pelo bom humor, gráficos cartunescos e uma inovadora tecnologia de som, utilizando sampling. O jogo é uma sequência de Mother, lançado somente no Japão para o NES. Porém, o único personagem comum a ambos é o vilão Giygas. (pt)
