If you’re familiar with Earthbound, the regular gameplay elements of Beginnings are not different at all. With that in mind, I’ll get into the review. Keep in mind, though, that it’s not a newer title and I won’t compare it much to our current era. Some aspects aren’t bad while others can totally influence whether or a not a person would want to buy it. While I did enjoyed it myself, it’s a very flawed game besides, of course, the fact that it’s old as balls. I didn’t have one at the time, so I ended up borrowing my brother’s. I played the game a while back, and went back for the sake of this review, after playing Earthbound and learning the prequel was on the Wii U. Not great but, hey, at least this game and Metroid gave it recognition. No one, ever, can tell me the Wii U was a bad console. However, in 2015, Nintendo did the unthinkable and released the original english translation onto the Wii U due to fan dedication. While not official, fans did get a hold of the localized cartridge back in the day and put the ROM online, translating it as Earthbound Zero. 80s kids wouldn’t get their kicks of psychic kids and stinky humor until the release of Earthbound. So, the game in America never came to America. Unfortunately, possibly due to the release of the Super NES over in the states, the game’s finished localized version was never released here.
Itoi, the game was released on the NES and was a huge hit in Japan. While an Urban Fantasy isn’t unique these days anymore, it was an innovative move for RPGs back in the late 80s. So, no black mages and roaming dragons you’re a Giants fans fighting cars and eating burgers like a MERICAN! Instead of temples or ruins, you explore Abandoned Zoos and caves…and some ruins. At the time, it was a unique distinction from other RPGs due to taking place in a modern setting, America (the most modern place ofcourse), unlike the medieval themed locals of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Inspired by Dragon Quest and named after the John Lennon song, the game is a simple RPG with towns to traverse through and enemy to randomly meet. He started Ape Inc and developed Mother for release on July 27, 1989. Though he thought his proposal didn’t convince Miyamoto during a trip to Nintendo, which was originally for a different business purpose, due to the previous flop of another celebrity tie-in-game named Takeshi’s Challenge, he was given the go. Itoi’s vision brought to life when he, besides being a famed copywriter and celebrity, wanted to make a video game after playing the NES for a while. Earthbound Beginnings/ Mother 1: The Classic Lost In Magicant “Podunk, where the kids where blue and the adults have blue hair. Along with him on the ride is a catholic, a boy from within a trash can, and the guy from one of the Romantic’s album covers.
Armed with his abuelo’s diary, a map, and a loaf of stale bread with a bit of fermentation, our young hero sets out to Podunk These Nuts to investigate the strange occurrences of the land and learn of his family’s history. He tells Ninten to go to the basement, go on an adventure, ignore the trap door, and learn of his powers that he totally had the entire time. Going downstairs to resume his day, Ninten’s father 7 years late gives him a call about his great grandfather, revealed to be George, the kidnapped man in the beginning, and of PSI. The day is saved, but not until the inside of the doll sings the first part of a secret melody. He bursts into his sister’s rooms and savagely beats on another lamp and doll. A lamp with a smile, the first of many victims, strikes at the boy with his tangling thing that turns him on (I didn’t mean to word it that way), but Ninten (his actually name) smashes the ceramic lamp of $12. The young Philips CDI awakens from his…nap on his singular chair? Either way, as he leaves to get some juice, an attack from a poltergeist interrupts his day. Itoi, and an extraterrestrial being plots their evil scheme. All these strange phenomena occur as the clouds of evil nest above Mt. A young queen in a distant wherever the hell Magicant is loses her memory and a special song. Pissing on said cars and giving people hernias. Living cars, strange monsters, and animals not in their right mind roam the country. The adults of a town are taken away until only children are left. The year is 1988 as a dark storm looms over America…and it wasn’t the new Coca-Cola taste.
