“This is a work that had never been released overseas despite being created long before EarthBound, but it will now be released in America and Europe under the title EarthBound Beginnings. Today I have some somewhat happy news for you!”Ĭheering erupted in a synchronized wave of joy as the words “EARTHBOUND BEGINNINGS RELEASING 6/14” appeared on the screen. “Hello, everyone overseas, I am Shigesato Itoi. It was two years later that the audience at Nintendo World Championships 2015 were met with a familiar face. While insider information from Nintendo representatives concerning music sampling made it seem like a re-release was impossible, in July 2013 EarthBound surprisingly was released on the Wii U Virtual Console was the first MOTHER still a possibility? The community remained hopeful, seeing that the game had been fully translated already, with many marking their words we’d see an announcement soon. For years, EarthBound on the SNES remained as the crowned king on most wanted lists, with MOTHER not far behind, in second to third place. While the game may not have been included in that lineup, nor did the 2003 release of MOTHER 1+2 make its way overseas, the community remained hopeful that perhaps the game would finally be released as a Virtual Console title on the Nintendo Wii.
Interest in an official release for MOTHER didn’t fade away either, with talk of interest rising anew when the classic NES lineup of titles were being released on the Game Boy Advance. However, the effort led the way to many other MOTHER petitions, using Nintendo’s silence as motivation to try harder rather than giving up. Unfortunately, they were met with the cold shoulder. Please don’t let these past months of work go to waste, muffled by a cold shoulder. We have spent lots of time on this, talking with the biggest gaming sites all over the net, trying to get coverage, updating incessantly. I again ask you to look at it objectively. Nintendo World Championships 2015 announcement of EarthBound Beginnings!
