'''EarthBound Beginnings''', or ''Mother'', as it’s known in Japan is a role-playing game for the [[Nintendo]] Entertainment System ([[NES]]). Created by copywriter Shigesato Itoi, it is the first entry of the ''Mother'' series, followed by ''[[EarthBound]]'' (''Mother 2'') for the [[Super NES]] and ''Mother 3'' for the Game Boy Advance. ''EarthBound Beginnings'', much like its sequels, is known for deviating from the traditional sword and sorcery motif typical of the role-playing genre, by taking place in a modern American setting. | '''EarthBound Beginnings''', or ''Mother'', as it’s known in Japan is a role-playing game for the [[Nintendo]] Entertainment System ([[NES]]).
