So I’m sticking with those NES and SNES titles, and there is one game that was added to the service not too long ago that I’m eyeing as my next conquest: EarthBound Beginnings. Thankfully, I have zero interest in revisiting anything from the Nintendo 64, and I already own every Genesis title worth owning with one of the 1,000 Genesis compilations Sega has released over the past two decades. Since then, the library of available titles and consoles has expanded, with the Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 finding their way to the subscription service, albeit at a more expensive tier than what you pay to play NES and SNES titles.

The third video game in the series, Mother 3, has never gotten an official release Stateside, and was not announced at the Direct.It may not be the Virtual Console setup I loved on my Wii and 3DS, but I have to say I’ve really been digging the Nintendo Switch Online retro game package as of late. EarthBound has gone on to garner a dedicated following, and has been rereleased multiple times, with a re-release on the SNES Classic in 2017, as well as other ports to consoles like the Nintendo Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.Īlthough this means we will finally be able to play Mother and Mother 2 on the Nintendo Switch, the news is bittersweet. In this adventure, the enemies aren’t monsters, they’re everyday horrors like upset shoppers and arcade bullies. EarthBound, released to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, became far more popular, known for its quirky storyline and offbeat characters. fighting game series.ĮarthBound Beginnings was released to the Famicom in 1989. Ness is perhaps most recognizable for his appearances in the Super Smash Bros. EarthBound is the second installment of the turn-based JRPG franchise, and it follows the baseball-bat-wielding Ness on his quest to defeat an all-powerful alien named Giygas. In Japan, the cult-hit games are known as Mother and Mother 2, so they’re referred to as part of the Mother series. The two games will be added as part of the Nintendo Switch Online library, an announcement at the Nintendo Direct on Wednesday said. EarthBound Beginnings and its sequel, EarthBound, are heading to the Nintendo Switch later today.
