Earthbound Anthology : A compilation of fan dedication to the series

About The Antology
Do It Yourself Devotion: About The AnthologyEarly in the summer of 2007, we at Starmen.Net launched a massive campaign to unify the EarthBound fanbase. We called it the EB Siege, and the goal was to ensure that every EB fan let Nintendo know what they wanted.Media interest in EarthBound, which had died down following the Do It Yourself Devotion announcement (which emerged to huge fanfare as the MOTHER 3 Fan Translation two years later) needed to be rekindled. With that in mind, Jon Kay came up with an idea for a kind of "portfolio" for EarthBound, like an informational art album.For the next month, Jon worked overtime pulling together the book's design, layout, content, and art. In the meantime, the Starmen.Net staff worked on the content, bringing EarthBound's story together as a cohesive narrative and writing captions for each of the hundreds of pieces of fanart which gilded the back pages. We also set an ambitious goal: to get a copy of the book in front of as many gaming media members as possible before E3.Jon's incredible work ethic saw the EarthBound Anthology completed in less than a month. In the meantime, the fanbase undertook an equally impressive task: raising nearly $7,500 in donations in just two weeks (the original goal was $2,500)...

Earthbound?
Is that game from SNES a long time ago?
If I remember correctly..Hmm...

Yeah it's an old game... I think it's actually from the NES, not SNESNevermind, it is SNES

The first was on Famicom, and was translated to be released in English but it was scrapped at the last minute before its release but there are fan translated versions of it floating about. The 2nd was on SNES/Super Famicom and the 3rd was on Gameboy Advance, but it wasn't released in English either. So the one we actually got in English was the 2nd on Super Nintendo.

Yup. ^This is almost correct. Among 3 Mothers (the japanese version), only 1 of them is released in English - Mother 2, with the English title Earthbound...For the story of Mother (the English version is Earthbound Zero), read here:

It's a pretty interesting story, long story short, Nintendo actually has the prototype of Earthbound Zero and a guy bought it and dumped it so all of us can play it now. :DMother 3 actually has a pretty interesting story too. The fans demanded NOA to release this game, but was ignored even until now. Tired of waiting, a group of fans decided to translate the game themselves. The translation turned out to be awesome and is available here: http://mother3.fobby.net/All of them are great! Earthbound Zero can be a little hard for casual players, but there's an easy patch (2x EXP and money drops) somewhere out there. :)

Ahhhhh earthbound. brings back memories. The game isn't really that old. Its just from the snes.
