Played by: xRavenXP This is the longplay of the game EarthBound, originally released in Japan under the title of Mother 2: Gyiyg in Gyakushū, and is an RPG game co-developed by Ape, Inc and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the console Super Nintendo. It was designed by Shigesato Itoi, who also developed his predecessor, Mother, exclusive in Japan. The game was released in Japan in August 1994, and in North America in June 1995 but never in Europe until it was released on the Virtual Console of the Nintendo Wii U in 2013. In EarthBound you will not find medieval weapons, dragons and anything like that. But you will come across hallucinated hippies, space creatures, and various references to suburban customs and ideas that everyone in the background has but seems absurd, like that of the evil neighbor. The plot takes place in the town of Onett, in the year 199X. Ness, a normal boy who, after a meteor falls almost from the side of his house, knows in the vicinity of the meteor Buzz Buzz, an insect that sent him for a journey to finish with Giygas, the “cosmic destroyer of planets“. In this journey, Ness (a boy who uses baseball bat and powers of psinergy) will have to search for eight sanctuaries to the forces of the Earth to have the necessary force to destroy Giygas and for this it will count on the help of three more children, Paula (the girl (The genius boy, expert in weapons and explosives) and Poo (the warrior boy from the east, who has exclusive equipment and can only feed himself with oriental food). EarthBound has a escapism that includes a contemporary plot, characters using baseballs, slings and yo-yos as weapons, enemies like dogs, clowns and statues, many jokes and references to pop culture and hippie and absurd subplots like looking for a machine that does Yogurt flavored trout. Despite its poor sales in the US, the game was praised by players for their humorous depictions of American culture and parody in the RPG genre, making it a cult classic. It is in my opinion one of the best games of all time and deserves all our recognition, it is an unforgettable game! I loved having recorded this video, got all the Poo equipment (including the Sword of Kings, extremely difficult to get) and all the photos, plus I chose the Apple Kid to help me out on that journey. I love and recommend the game! - Disclaimer: Most videos by World of Longplays use SaveStates!
