Game Information:

EarthBound, known as Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back (Japanese: マザー2 ギーグの逆襲 Hepburn: Mazā Tsū: Gīgu no Gyakushū?)[1] in Japan and alternatively titled EarthBound: The War Against Giygas!, is a 1994 role-playing video game co-developed by Ape and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System video game console. It is the second game in the EarthBound video game series, following the 1989 Japan-exclusive Mother. It was directed, produced, and written by series creator Shigesato Itoi. EarthBound was first released in Japan on August 27, 1994 and then in North America on June 5, 1995. Despite its poor sales figures, the game has been lauded by gamers for its humorous depictions of American culture and parody of the role-playing video game genre,[2] and has since become a cult classic.[3] A sequel to EarthBound for the Nintendo 64DD, titled EarthBound 64, was in development for many years before finally being canceled.[4] This project later resurfaced as a Game Boy Advance title called Mother 3 and was released only in Japan.[5] A compilation video game containing both Mother and EarthBound was released in Japan as Mother 1 + 2.[6] EarthBound was re-released on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan on March 20, 2013 and was released for North America and, for the first time, Europe and Australia, on July 18, 2013.[7]
