@noahboat580 It was Earthbound and generic Nintendo stickers iirc. Mind you, this was the summer after it came out in the USA. I've raised kids of my own since then. So, it's a little fuzzy
Don't let that ruin it for you, his video is still up to help gamers learn the game. If we ignore legitimately well-made videos, then we're paying for the mistakes Chugga made.
PK Scramble and Ancient Cave randomizer are both really good randomizers, I'd reccomend playing both. They both have their own mechanics that they bring to the table.
I played and completed Earthbound on "Mother 1 + 2" a couple of years ago and loved the portability and playing such a wonderful huge aventure on the go. Most people havent played that version.
11:35 Dude... This specific one really left me with a nostalgic feeling. I litterally had a somewhat long-term project going where I was trying to recreate Fourside in Minecraft; my inspiration for it were the "Super Secret Settings" MC had at some point where pressing it enough times left you with a filter-effect very reminiscent to Moonside. So I was going to try and build both, turning on the filter after interacting with a crude Mani Mani Statue. Too lazy to finish it though, so glad to see this exists.
I understand the reasons why Mother 1+2 would be considered a bad version. Especially for a new player, it's really not a good version to play. Me personally, I really enjoyed it. I know the music gets a lot of flack (some of which is very accurate; "Welcome Home" comes to mind), but I'd say 70% of it I could tolerate. Also, I found the game played quicker compared to the SNES version. Like menus (in and out of battles) and transitioning between areas are a lot faster, which I really appreciated. It gives a similar sense of nostalgia I felt when I grew up playing the GBA version of A Link to the Past. Not the best version, but I appreciate it for what it is.
Understandable that the game would run faster, as the GBA had a faster processor than the Super Nintendo did, despite constantly being labeled as the handheld SNES, the GBA was technologically superior to it.
I went to that 2015 Earthbound convention, it was really fun! If memory serves, I believe the arcade machine was kind of a grand prize that could be won by an attendee, either as part of a raffle or some charity thing, so I'm pretty sure fangamer doesn't have it anymore.
I played through the variable width font fan translation of Mother 1+2 a few months ago for the novelty, and it's genuinely not so bad. It's a good enough port in my opinion. If you only have a GBA and a flash cart, you might want to consider it.
The algorithm blessed me and I gotta say, your content is great! Been lacking MOTHER content in my life and having someone whos voice is very nice to listen to tell me about a bunch of random MOTHER crap is really scratching my brain.
Although Mother 1+2 isn't the best, I always enjoyed listening to the music. I dunno, the slight audio crunch makes my brain the good kind of tingly :)
Hi im new to the earthbound community. I’ve always wanted to get into it but never knew where to start because the franchise seemed so expansive. thanks for making this video It really helped set a path for where to start!
Andrew Cunningham's Earthbound streams are worth taking a look as well. It's a great look at a hardcore Undertale fan's first time playing the game that inspired Undertale.
I love mother 1+2 personally, but I know it’s only cause it was the first time I got to play earthbound on official hardware, which means a lot to me. As a collector now, getting my hands on the SNES version would be ideal, and I have the switch port, but I still keep going back to mother 1+2 for some reason. As for music, I have the mother 2 record so I’m not really forced to only listen to the music on the GBA.
It's been a long time since I laughed this hard. This is such an amazing video! (P.S. everyone here should watch your EarthBound Analysis series. It's by far my favorite series on TH-cam.)
Awesome video. I'd rather recommend Mother 2: Perfect Edition, which takes everything from the Maternalbound and also relocalizes the game to remove censorship and make the script more akin to the japanese version. Also, some of the versions you mentioned aren't 'ports', like the 3DS, SNES mini and the WiiU versions. In fact, the only actual port is the GBA version. All the others are just emulated roms with slightly changes to avoid seizures, as you mentioned.
I also second mother 2 deluxe, especially because it made me appreciate jeff's tools a lot more by making them their own menu rather than taking up space in the inventory
Never knew about the earthbound reshuffle event and that arcade artwork is a thing off beauty ,the mother community is one off the most dedicated communitys i ever seen its magical seeing this type off events even if not in person , i honestly wonder which version off earthbound beginnings would be the best especially with all the new versions that are coming out from fans Like the new Mic btw it adds too the relaxed felling i get from your vids
Commenting before watching to say my personal recommendation is the MaternalBound Omega romhack which changes graphics and translation to make it closer to Mother 2, makes the A button also context-sensitive like the L button, and adds a run button like Mother 1 and 3. Edit: Ayyy, it got mentioned!
@@JackieWohlenhaus I thought I was the only one to notice that. Some people are all too willing to demonize someone they don't like with exaggerated narratives. At least Masae handled her case far more maturely than the other two
The problem with save states on WiiU, 3DS, and Switch, is that you can't delete them. You can overwrite them, but you can't delete them. And they also have power over the normal ingame saves. So, if you made a save state once at the start just to see but decided to save with your dad for that playthrough, it will always haunt your menus, just waiting for you to slip up and nuke your entire progress, and there's nothing you can do about it other than delete the entirety of the app's data and never touch it again. Dunno about SNES Mini
The smoothing with the SNES classic edition is my biggest grudge with that version. I wish there was a way to turn that off because it slightly ruins the ending with showing the SNES’s abilities.
Yeah kind of shocking to see him in the wild, especially since it sounds like it was from summer 2015? That seems like it would have been a very busy time period for our annoying dog overlord.
The Mother games were a huge part of my childhood, teen years, and early adulthood. It has been strange to see new fans filter in and out and make up different generations of the community. Parts of my core time in the fandom has begun to disappear in the cracks of the early internet, links and sites entirely now defunct. It's sad to look at, but new generations are what fuels and breathes life into a community that may have simply died off as older fans inevitably put down their controllers and focus on their adulthood. The memory lives on, but I will always appreciate those who still keep its heart beating.
I was just watching EarthBound videos (cause I wanted to play it but didn't know which part should I emulate) and suddenly this vid was there. Can't believe it was uploaded just an hour ago. Great work! Btw is that Toby Fox at Earthbound arcade machine?
I gotta say, in 2022 I completed a work in progress version of the mother 1+2 English translation (I dubbed it Mother+Earthbound). It was complete, tho hasn’t been made official and I didn’t mind it, especially on the tiny game boy micro screen :)
Speaking of mods that refresh the game for experienced players, Mother 2 Deluxe Edition is worth mentioning, does a lot of the script reversions that Maternalbound does, and also changes up a lot of mechanics, too many things to list quickly, while trying not to ruin the spirit of the game. There's some stuff to help the player along the way but overall it's a good bit more difficult, would recommend it to anyone looking to replay Earthbound for the umpteenth time with a fresh feel.
Honestly, the first time I finished a game of Earthbound was via the Mother 1+2 English Patch. Aside from names and items, it was completely in Japanese. And I speak no Japanese, nor can I read any Japanese. I just knew enough about how the game went from let's plays (Chuggaa, Stephen, FFSTV, for example) that I was able to play through it all. I was in middle school at the time, and I had it all done on a small 8GB flash drive I took to school with me.
I actually haven't yet tried Mother 1+2 on GBA yet… Not out of choice, but rather a lack of decent accessibility; There's only one English fan translation I know of, and it's just EarthBound Beginnings that got the full translation (though not based on the official localization). I honestly would love to try it out one of these days and see what it's like, whenever it may be that there'll be a patch that 1:1 ports the localization efforts and changes the original NES and SNES localizations gave (not that I dismiss fan localizations entirely)
Thankfully, it was revealed to be nothing more than an attempt to sabotage his career and life (But sadly, it worked) Edit: Actually, it didn't work! He's back!
Funny story, When i went to the underworld in eathbound i found a Chomposaur, these little guys drop paula's best weapon! And dis is what i thought, "Im just going to get exp from this one, NO WAY am i grinding for this weapon!" I fought it, And in the first incounter, I GOT THE MAGIC FRYING PAN!!
As an addendum, there was a dude way back who was on the whole Half-Life mods website. Slowly building the game in Half-Life. I got to play a demo, there was melee baseball bat, and the upper part of Onett And it was pretty rad.
I first experienced Earthblund through emulation. If the emulation scene didn't exist I would have had to wait a lot longer to experience my favourite game for the first time
seeing the calculator version of earthbound really makes me wonder if it would be possible to maybe make a version for the more powerful ti calculators out there, like the 84+ce or something like that (no the emulated version on the Inspire does not count i mean like an actual port)
i played and beat the game in 2020 on the 3ds virtual console, but the actual first time i played it was somewhere from 2018-2019 by projecting my phone emulator onto the tv :) the phone screen would go black except for the buttons which weren't projected onto the tv screen so the phone essentially worked as a controller. was possibly the coziest i've ever felt playing a game for some reason.
Today I decided I wanted to play Earthbound, so I obtained a copy for my steam deck. Haven't played it yet and saw your video, and it made me reconsider my opinions for playing the game. Thank you.
My favourite thing bout mother 1+2 is the fact that wuth mother 1 you no longer have to go through a menu to interact with anything and instead you can just press L you could already do that on the snes version of earthbound, but it's really nice to see that feature backported into mother 1.
Funny thing is I probably got recommended this video because I was watching NCS's Earthbound LP, it's crazy to me that other people still remember those videos. Ik he's relatively well known especially if you watched LP's back then but still some of those videos only have like 30k views. Also wow I forgot Fobbies are Borange and Loids are not Christmas existed. That was with StephenPlays too if I remember. Side note, it's crazy he's still vlogging daily.
He’s not very popular these days is he ? I used to watch his videos religiously in 2012-16ish. I checked out some new stuff and it seemed like he wasn’t very into it.
@@SetoKaiba342 yeah same pretty much, I started watching chuggaconroy in 09 I think I found NCS a little bit after. None of these LP channels really get as many views as they used to, but a lot of people would definitely recognize and remember him from back then.
He's still just as into it, I think! Think what's really happened is that old-school form of LP has just sorta been dying for the last several years. His current LP of Mother 1 is wonderful though! :)
Personally, my favorite way to play Earthbound is with an SNES gamepad through BSNES emulator, using the NTSC (RGB) filter as well as the PAL-Composite shader (both found in BSNES options) - this gives the game a very authentic look, how I remember it when playing through my old TV as a kid.
Y'all forgot about Mother 2 Deluxe, it's one of the best ways to experience the game for returning players. It'll be even better once the newest version is released...
I had the official cartridge for $10 from a pawn shop back in 1996, incredible then (no guide too) and always loved it since. Hope it's ported to Steam with extra content and achievements someday.

I love how M1+2 is a better way of playing 1 and a worse way of playing 2. Honestly kind of magical.
It’s better for M1 to an extent, completely decimates the music and is an inferior translation to the original.
@@MonkeyNess I feel like some music (except Being Friends) are better or atleast original per se

"Ancient Cave randomizer"? That based off the Ancient Cave in Lufia 2, by chance?
Insanely high quality! Not even a Mother fan and I thoroughly enjoyed this video, great work!
This is probably the highest compliment a Mother content creator can receive
I played and completed Earthbound on "Mother 1 + 2" a couple of years ago and loved the portability and playing such a wonderful huge aventure on the go. Most people havent played that version.
As someone who’s played both games on it multiple times, I still say respective SNES and NES versions are better.

Yup, can now confirm. Was auctioned off for charity.
i was there too! fun convention. can't believe we got initiated into a cult
I played through the variable width font fan translation of Mother 1+2 a few months ago for the novelty, and it's genuinely not so bad. It's a good enough port in my opinion. If you only have a GBA and a flash cart, you might want to consider it.
I JUST saw your comment on that roblox arg video and then seeing this one really tripped me out
Emulation-wise, it runs decently on older phones where SNES Earthbound doesn't tend to. I found it worth playing in that case.
You sound like cybershell describing all the obsure and esoteric ways to play this kind of hard to get game (like sonic 3 and knuckles was in 2017)

i played and beat the game in 2020 on the 3ds virtual console, but the actual first time i played it was somewhere from 2018-2019 by projecting my phone emulator onto the tv :) the phone screen would go black except for the buttons which weren't projected onto the tv screen so the phone essentially worked as a controller. was possibly the coziest i've ever felt playing a game for some reason.
5:03 I'm debating whether I should try to progress the game past twoson for the third time...
I definitely want some other options to think about...
Right now go with the SNES (on like on a switch or Wii u) version, but Mother squared and EarthBound Dimensions are looking hopefull
Imagine being bored during a math test and then busting out earthbound for calculator

An 8 year old version of my playing it for the first time is the best version.
Today I decided I wanted to play Earthbound, so I obtained a copy for my steam deck. Haven't played it yet and saw your video, and it made me reconsider my opinions for playing the game. Thank you.
I love the Cybershell influence on this one.
My favourite thing bout mother 1+2 is the fact that wuth mother 1 you no longer have to go through a menu to interact with anything and instead you can just press L you could already do that on the snes version of earthbound, but it's really nice to see that feature backported into mother 1.
When I was in high school, I attempted to make a small battle game on my ti83 calculator that was based on Earthbound's battle system.
Funny thing is I probably got recommended this video because I was watching NCS's Earthbound LP, it's crazy to me that other people still remember those videos. Ik he's relatively well known especially if you watched LP's back then but still some of those videos only have like 30k views.
Also wow I forgot Fobbies are Borange and Loids are not Christmas existed. That was with StephenPlays too if I remember. Side note, it's crazy he's still vlogging daily.
He’s not very popular these days is he ? I used to watch his videos religiously in 2012-16ish. I checked out some new stuff and it seemed like he wasn’t very into it.
@@SetoKaiba342 yeah same pretty much, I started watching chuggaconroy in 09 I think I found NCS a little bit after. None of these LP channels really get as many views as they used to, but a lot of people would definitely recognize and remember him from back then.
He's still just as into it, I think! Think what's really happened is that old-school form of LP has just sorta been dying for the last several years. His current LP of Mother 1 is wonderful though! :)

oh well no more chuggaconroy
What about now?
I played and beat it through emulation a long time ago, sure it ain't legal but it was fun
No way is there Calculator Earthbound.
Personally, my favorite way to play Earthbound is with an SNES gamepad through BSNES emulator, using the NTSC (RGB) filter as well as the PAL-Composite shader (both found in BSNES options) - this gives the game a very authentic look, how I remember it when playing through my old TV as a kid.
That David Lγnch clip made me burst out laughing, thanks for that 🤣
I actually live in tucson where Fangamer calls home. I went there for the holiday shopping season last year
13:41: Is that a video of pre-Undertale Toby Fox playing on an EarthBound arcade cabinet?
July 2015. Think it's around the same time it was released.
@@MonkeyNess Undertale released in Mid-September, so it really was a couple months before
Y'all forgot about Mother 2 Deluxe, it's one of the best ways to experience the game for returning players. It'll be even better once the newest version is released...
Didn't forget, just not super familiar with everything about it and didn't want to misreport on it.
I had the official cartridge for $10 from a pawn shop back in 1996, incredible then (no guide too) and always loved it since.
Hope it's ported to Steam with extra content and achievements someday.
Don't think we'll ever see the day Nintendo ports their games to PC as long as they're still producing consoles unfortunatley.
You're the cybershell of earthbound
Honestly, im glad my brother got the snes classic as early as he did, now i can play earthbound without having to pay for it monthly
My first time was playing it on the 3DS, been hooked ever since
