Just caught a mistake near the end of the video where I mention a certain date. I mean to say July 11th, not July 7th. The correct date is used shortly after when it's brought up again, though!

When Satoru Iwata died I was old enough to get the news but too young to realise what an important role he played at Nintendo. I didnĀ“t know that he also played an important role in saving this game so IĀ“m glad that you used the last moments of the video to salute him. He wasnĀ“t a normal CEO and will always be remembered as a true legend.

Earthbound really is something special, and you did a fantastic job covering why it's so great. I had to skip around a little bit since I still haven't beaten it myself (I know, I know) but I still thoroughly enjoyed this video. This series clearly means a lot to you, and it's awesome to listen to you talk about it for so long. And that tribute to Satoru Iwata was just beautiful. Miss that man everyday. I'm looking forward to coming back to this video later on once I've beaten it and watching the few sections I skipped, but until then, bravo my friend, bravo. The runtime alone shows that this was a pure labor of love for you, and I'm glad you completed it successfully and that it turned out so terrific. Now get some well earned rest!

I always loved this game from the time I saw it back in the day and got my own copy. Was like a dream come true for a 9yo in 95. I can understand trying to play it many years later it's not going to have the same effect.

The dialogue is easily the best part of the game , Iā€™ve never seen a game that has such deadpan humour

Thank you for all the passion and effort put into this fantastic retrospective. Having a hunch on how you were going to conclude the video, it still got me in the feels and yet am comforted that the emotional gratitude towards Iwata, Itoi and all involved in creating this amazing game will always have a place in our hearts.

Got me in tears at the end, bro. All together an absolutely beautiful video. I was one of the few weirdos who actually liked the marking in 1995 and just had to have this game. I still have my original copy. Sadly, my player's got lost during a move many years ago. This still is my all time favorite game.

Was randomly in the mood to watch stuff about the mother series and stumbled on your mother 1 vid. And it seems just in time that this vids been out only a couple weeks. Really enjoyed them both and now subbed and plan to watch your other videos. Keep up the good work.

Listened to this while getting ready for work and I have to say it was really well done and encapsulated the reason why I fell in love with the game the first time I played. For me, it was one of those sort of..those last "innocent child-like happiness" moments in my life while I was in college just before I realized the responsibilities of the adult world being thrust upon me. It's as bittersweet as the word nostalgia. I kinda want to go back and play it now to make new memories and see what new things I feel about it. Thank you so much for your wonderful essay and respect for Iwata at the end! We're all connected in a way!~ā¤

Hey man, great video! Iā€™ve never played any of the Mother games, but this makes me want to give them a try. I think your channel is very underrated and I hope it is suggested to others like it was suggested to me.

Here's a way to make the beginning of the game much more tolerable: Before going down to Onett after you bring Pokey/Porky and Picky home, go back up the hill to visit Lier X. Agerate. Why? Because you'll encounter a few enemies going up and down the hill, giving you some experience/level ups and most importantly easy money for the equipment you can buy in Onett. Plus, seeing the Mani Mani Statue in Agerate's house is some nice foreshadowing! After visiting Agerate's house and you're going down to Onett, make sure you visit that hidden treehouse and get the Mr. Baseball cap, then go out and buy the Tee ball bat and Cheap bracelet. In my experiences, that not only made the beginning fights with Frank's gang a breeze, it also made my friends' first playthroughs much easier. This stuff is also mentioned in the game's big and colorful Player's Guide, so it's probably what the devs intended anyway! Give it a shot next time. tl;dr: If you want smooth-sailing through Onett: 1.) after Buzz Buzz, visit Lier X. Agerate's house before going down to fight Frank, fighting enemies you encounter for experience and money, 2.) get the Mr. Baseball cap from the treehouse, and 3.) buy the Tee ball bat + Cheap bracelet with the money from the Lier X. Agerate trip.
