Half the cartridge was just audio, which, once again, entire games like Super Mario World, were smaller than the audio size.Īnother complaint was the quirkiness of the game. The cartridge was 24 Megabits, which, today is nothing, but at the the time almost every SNES game was smaller.
The reason for the graphics was to keep in comparison with Mother 1 on the original Nintendo Entertainment System and most likely to save cartridge space. Among the complaints, was its mediocre graphics compared to other games on the Super Nintendo like Donkey Kong Country, or Star Fox a game that used a special chip to render basic polygons on the 16-bit system.
This is due to it being so different compared to other JRPGs at the time in the western market. Together they visit to seven sanctuary locations to fuse their power with the Earth and become strong enough to defeat Giygas.Īt the time of its release, EarthBound was rated rather poorly, only selling about 140,000 copies in North America. Ness meets his fellow chosen ones, Paula, Jeff, and Poo. On his journey Ness meets many people and explores various places in the countries of Eagleland, Foggyland, and Chommo. It follows the story of Ness, a young 13-year-old boy who is destined to save the world from the evil alien Giygas. It's the second game in the Mother series, coming out 5 years after Mother 1, or EarthBound Beginnings in North America. Mother 2, a 1994 JRPG, was released in North America in 1995 under the title EarthBound.
