Mother (video game series)
The consists of three Japanese role-playing video games: the 1989 ''Mother'' for the Famicom, the 1994 ''Mother 2'' for the Super Famicom, and the 2006 ''Mother 3'' for the Game Boy Advance. Written by Shigesato Itoi and published by Nintendo, and featuring game mechanics modeled on the ''Dragon Quest'' series, the ''Mother'' series is known for its sense of humor, originality, and parody. Set in a late 20th century United States, the player uses weapons and psychic powers to fight hostile, everyday objects. Signature elements of the series include the lighthearted plots, the battle sequences with psychedelic backgrounds, and the "rolling HP meter": as player health ticks down like an odometer, players can outrun the meter to heal before dying. While the franchise is popular in Japan, in the United States, it is best associated with the cult following behind ''EarthBound'', the 1995 English localization of ''Mother 2''. Itoi is not planning another sequel in the series.
While visiting Nintendo for other business, Itoi approached Shigeru Miyamoto about making ''Mother''. When approved for a sequel, Itoi increased his involvement as a designer in the five-year development of ''Mother 2''. When the project began to flounder, producer and later Nintendo president Satoru Iwata rescued the game. ''Mother 2'' English localizers were given great liberties when translating the Japanese game's cultural allusions. The American version sold poorly despite a multimillion-dollar marketing budget. ''Mother 3'' was originally slated for release on the Nintendo 64 and its 64DD disk drive accessory, but was cancelled in 2000. Three years later, the project was reannounced for the Game Boy Advance alongside a rerelease of ''Mother'' and ''Mother 2'' in a combined cartridge: ''Mother 1 + 2'', released in 2003. The new ''Mother 3'' abandoned the 3D graphics progress for a 2D style, and became a bestseller upon its release. ''EarthBound'' was rereleased for the Wii U Virtual Console in 2013, and ''Mother'' received its English-language debut in 2015 for the same platform, retitled ''EarthBound Beginnings''.
''EarthBound'' is widely regarded as a video game classic, and is included in multiple top ten lists. In absence of continued official support for the series, an ''EarthBound'' fan community organized online to advocate for further series releases through petitions and fan art. Their projects include a full fan translation of ''Mother 3'', a full-length documentary, and a fangame sequel to ''Mother 3''. The protagonist of ''EarthBound'', Ness, received exposure from his inclusion in all four entries of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Other ''Mother'' series locations and characters have made appearances in the fighting games.
