Ngl it's kind of surreal and exciting seeing Nintendo talk about this game in such depth. Here's to hoping Mother 3 gets this treatment one day.
Yeah, I really hope nintendo does more trailers like this one.
Mother 3? Never existed. Lucas was an original character from Brawl. And, definitely do not research in the slightest, because Mother 3 isn't a truly real game, totally not.
@@luginess0 In true Nintendo fashion, they'll continue to gaslight us like this, making us truly believe it never happened. They don't seem to think we know, or they just don't care, I don't know which it is anymore

@@metroplex97 I am embarrassed to admit that that took me way too long to understand the joke.
If they had a time machine that could predict the fifth Smash Bros game before Smash 64 even came out, I think the game would've been a best seller.
Nah the 90s were all about gross-out advertising. It was the reviews and graphics that initially turned people away from the game. Reviewers brushed the game off because of the bright graphics and wanted something more akin to Final Fantasy. Most people didn’t play past the first town so they never understood how great the writing and combat is. The game also cost $30 more than a standard SNES game at the time and that was something never really done before. It was many factors, but the advertising was just following trends of the era
@@I_EAT_QUARTERS - Ok, but have you seen the original commercial for the game? It’s really bad, and it probably turned off at least a few people who may have otherwise given the game a chance.

The game series is over, if we ever did get another, the creator would probably have nothing to do with it. Also a remake was pitched during the GameCube era, but was shot down. Really the only thing up in the air right now is the localization of mother 3 since there has never been a definitive yes or no.
@@tidalphantom0277 director said he would want fans to make the next series, and it's already confirmed.
@@BannedAide But nothing talks about there not being a remake.
@@BannedAide The fans were making Mother 4. Which was later renamed.
Take my word for it as someone who has played both games several times: Play Earthbound first. Earthbound Beginnings has a special place in my heart, but it suffers from: > Unbalanced Enemies > Unbalanced encounter rates > Needing to level grind A LOT. > Vague and directionless story > Giant, sparse maps that are easy to get lost in I highly recommend using a guide or following a playthrough so you don't get stuck or rage quit. You can do it! I believe in you!
I disagree with the story part, as many people love beginnings more than even earthbound because of it. But I agree with literally everyone else. An unorganized over world and poorly balanced level up system can be discouraging for new players. If you love earthbound though, chances are, these can be overcome with enough dedication to the series.
The encounter rate is/was insane in Beginning. Tells a pretty charming story with nice moments filled in.
At least EarthBound has it's Players Guide online, so no one has to pay high amounts of dough for a copy.
If someone still wants the Earthbound Beginnings experience but in a more beginner friendly way, I'd recommend the GBA port with the fan translation, since it has the Easy Ring and actually has a more accurate English translation. If you really want the challenge and grinding though, play the original NES version by all means, though if you are playing for the first time, you will absolutely need a guide. Honestly though, you can play EarthBound first then EarthBound Beginnings and still be just fine, although someone who played EarthBound first may be confused on Giygas but otherwise the story can still be understood.
Earthbound zero or beginnings like nintendo call it has a good story in the pacing,I like that you can go in any order
I’ve always wanted to play earthbound. So when this came out, I’m beginning to play it. Glad I’ve been introduced to this game!
Don’t be afraid to use a guide if you have to! It can frustrating and discouraging if you don’t know what to do
Its a game you have to play through to fully appreciate, its truly one of the greatest games ever made
I actually really like how we’re getting new trailers for old games.
I'm pretty sure these two are the only NES/SNES games to get this kind of treatment. They definitely wanted people to know that EarthBound was on the Switch now!
at least on this case is because it's an amazing game series plus we didn't get anything new about Earthbound since 7 years ago unless you count Smash Ultimate
also Nintendo might know they utterly failed with the comercials from 1995 saying the infamous "This game stinks!" so even if it's too late we should be glad to see the trailer the game always deserved instead of that weird stuff from decades ago

Hi. Fan since the NES days here. Obviously I missed Ninten's adventure, and when I found out Ness's was a middle chapter without either 1 or 3, I passed. I have a major point of starting classic, long-running RPG series from the beginning(s). After becoming a grizzled veteran to RPG tropes, settings, etc, I couldn't believe an NES game from 1989 could blow my mind, delight, and SURPRISE me at age 38. I'm at the plateau before the summit of Mt. Itoi, getting ready to take my final steps. Thank you for making these available. This experience has made me feel like a kid again, and you can't put a price tag on that. You've created an EarthBound fan for life now by doing this.
ditto. Mother1/EBB is one of the greatest games of all time. The Music, the Story, the Dialogue, they really cared at a time when those details mattered to very few, and the localization team did a stellar job!
Looking forward to replaying EarthBound all over again!

You needed smash bros to find out about sonic? Thats VERY unusual lol

@@n00bplayer72 respect✨🤝✨
Mother2/Earthbound was definitely a game with a far bigger lasting impact than you'd expect of a title with its nieche popularity and low sales. It created a very specific style of tone and humour that has defined a good portion of the Internet as well inspired countless other weird/emotional/quirky RPG games such as Yume Nikki, Space Funeral, LISA, Undertale, Omori, Jimmy and The Pulsating Mass, Other HLE, etc that have carved out their own brand in the genre. In terms of impact vs success Mother has made a deceptively major impression with the former. Some might even call it THE most representative/definitive example of a Cult title.

I played earthbound a while ago and it was quite literally one of the best games I've ever played. I lost the device I used to play it the first time so to be able to finally play it again on the switch after so long makes me super happy.
"What!? D-did he just explode? o.o Can we get another Ness?" Omg, this trailer is so good!! XD Let's freaking goooooo!!!! Earthbound is finally getting some love!!
I love how the narrator embraces just how weird these games can be. I’m excited to play it, I’m also one of those people who only really experienced Ness through *pkfirepkfirepkfirepkfire*
The voiceover performance and script are pitch-perfect, very well done
I loved the reference to dinousaurs tv show: "We're gonna need another timmy!"
This man wasn't paid to voice this, he was a big Earthbound fan that barged into the record both
Now THAT is an advertising campaign I can get behind!! Even if these games "stink", it's of wacky fun and good times we're genuinely excited to play. This made my day, week, and potentially everything else right around my birthday in a couple days, so I know it's gonna be OK with me. I'm just glad Nintendo's out here once again bein' friends.
For real though. And happy birthday!
Ness asked for a re-release! -2863 HP damage to Nintendo! Nintendo became tame! YOU WON! Ness and co. got 75829 exp. points. Ness is now level 69! Paula is now level 68! Jeff is now level 65! Poo is now level 66! Inside the present, there was a Earthbound re-release pass! Ness takes it.
@@Pinkio There is a 1/128 chance of Mother 3 dropping
@@Man_Jr._Studios "Getting the Sword of Kings won't bring Mother 3 to America"
@@Pinkio alright, I’ll get the broken antenna too and see if that does something
Been playing Earthbound Beginnings for about 10hrs now, loving it!
We need more comedic voice-overs like this
When they first announced Earthbound and Beginnings right after, my first thought was "wait... they wouldn't..." I was right. They didn't. I can still have hope though.
They really made it look like they would LMAO
They might when they add GBA games to the Switch.
Same here. The way they didn't reveal Beginnings right away, for a brief second, I had a glimmer of hope.
I already gave up, they clearly just don't want to do it 😔
they so knew what they were doing with that lol too cruel
This was a very well done voice over. I can tell they put a lot of effort into this video :D
It feels like a game review channel
Wow chills.. So excited for all the kids and adults who get to experience Mother for the first time!
We begged for years. Nintendo has delivered. Thank you Nintendo 🙏 ♥
"Cool! Now, what's Lucas' story?" "Who's Lucas?" Jokes aside, this is the trailer Earthbound's deserved since its release, right up there with the Wii U trailer. AMAZING to finally see these games acknowledged!!
I'm so happy that my favorite video game series is getting it's deserved love and recognition.
same
Same dude
Kumatora is my favourite character in Mother 3 too!
@@Hauntaku localised is my favourite character
I’ve waited so long for this!
I just finished playing both of them. It was soooo good!!! I love Ness even more now!
This took a while, but finally seeing MOTHER 1 and 2 available on Switch is awesome!! It's nice that more people get to experience this franchise, this announcement stinks! (By the way, I like the style of this trailer, it rocks!) Also, gotta love how EarthBound on Switch got announced specifically on the 6th anniversary of the Sans is Ness video, the video that's done irreparable damage to EarthBound discussions
Why must you hurt me for reminding me.
Hah how ironic
Pain
Oh shoot really!? This must be intentional then!
Kirb
Love how this acts like a commercial from the 90s
This is a great introduction for those who have not heard of Ness 😊 FANTASTIC!
I’ve played earth bound like 5 or 6 times on my Wii U and fell in love. So glad to do it again
