Chapter 2 has you taking the role of a thief as he goes to an abandoned castle to find a treasure. The story is not nearly as straightforward as Earthbound’s. Soon tragedy strikes, making this one of the most depressing starts to any game I’ve every played! The sweet family you were introduced to is quickly splintered. Everything is so peaceful, but of course, that won’t be the case for long. You’re introduced to a happy family as well as the little town of Tazmily. You have to be patient at the beginning because chapter 1 moves very slowly. The game is broken into 8 chapters, and the first three chapters have you controlling different characters. That’s not how Mother 3’s story works at all. Earthbound immediately puts you into Ness’ shoes, and you follow him from place to place as he finds new friends to eventually face his destiny. On the surface, Mother 3 has many similarities with its predecessor (such as art style, cute characters, and the battle system), but actually, I was surprised to find out that the game is quite different from its cult classic sibling. That’s a very high bar, so is it possible that Mother 3 could actually surpass it? Let’s find out. I think every gamer should experience Earthbound (it’s now on NSO, so play it!). It also had tons of memorable moments that have stayed with me throughout the years. I was blown away by this game! It had more heart than 99% of games could ever hope to have. And what a game! But the big question is, Is it better than Earthbound? I’m going to share my thoughts of this game, and don’t worry, I won’t give away any spoilers (although I will hint at some things).įirst, some history: Earthbound was the very first RPG I ever beat (no doubt that’s because I had the player’s guide to help me through the game).
I was able to sit down, play through it, and enjoy it. I finally gave up waiting and decided to get a copy of the fan translation (more about that at the end). Hey, guys! So, like many Nintendo fans, I’ve been waiting for years for Nintendo to give us Mother 3.
