Many fans have spent decades clamoring for Nintendo to do more with the series, which consists of just three games released over more than a decade. Undertale is probably the best-known example of this genre, and it owes much of its goofy yet lovable tone to EarthBound.ĮarthBound enjoys a dedicated fan base of North American and European players who revere it as a classic in the JRPG genre. It’s part of a series known as Mother in Japan, but it’s EarthBound that has left its fingerprints all over a growing genre of games colloquially known as Motherlikes in some communities. EarthBound, the endearing Japanese role-playing game from the Super Nintendo era, delivers a very particular brand of surreal humor and sentimentality.
