[EarthBound Beginnings] I’m playing MOTHER, but moving around is tough…!

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There are also generally many no-hints…!

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Movement is done by teleporting and bumping into walls.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>1

You only get teleportation at the end, right?!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Old games had really poor usability…

It’s best to watch gameplay videos.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Without the dash that was in the GBA version, it’s tough to play it now.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

The main enemy always increases its gear, but HoliRori Mountain suddenly jumps about eight levels.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s excessively wide relative to the movement speed.

Back then, it was written in strategy guides that it was too large and impossible to include this dungeon.

Looking at it now, it doesn’t seem that impressive, but anyway, it’s wide.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Asthma is annoying!

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

The feeling of traveling is unmatched.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why does asthma make you unable to act?

Even with a cold, I can still act with a slight damage…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s troublesome to move.

In such times, it’s breadcrumbs.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s use the left-hand rule in the dungeon.

You can get quite lost.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Magikant is said to be like an erotic world just because it’s all pink…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel that the instant kill system for weak enemies was quite advanced, even if moving was inevitable.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if games inspired by or paying homage to Mother will eventually come out…

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even if they say the sound is degraded, the GBA version still has better controls…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

The enemy’s strength and the high encounter rate are also difficult.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The distinction between “use” and “eat” is made specifically for bread.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Seriously, it’s a kant.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m playing on the Switch, but I want double speed.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m going to use a breadcrumb system.

You can instantly travel back and forth to the recovery point no matter where you are.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s my favorite in the series, but when asked if I would recommend it to others, it’s questionable.

Such difficulty

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

The port version has increased the encounter rate due to the dot movement.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

For number 2, I think the difference in sound isn’t that noticeable for number 1.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If you’re playing online on Switch, I’m not saying anything bad, but you should definitely consider leveling up!

Just by carefully selecting the speed, it’s completely different!

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you keep using fleas and lice against the giant robot attacking the mountain lodge, you can turn it into a draw game.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I played it on the Switch for the first time in a while and managed to clear it without focusing on grinding, so the balance is nice.

The map is too large for the movement speed!

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roid is a semi-automatic rocket launch system, tank controller, and boat ignition device all in one…

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

The brain-like enemy that appears in the final phase becomes a healing point when you psycho-block it.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you level up to around level 20 while you can walk with Pippi, even if you suddenly get blown away to Magicant,

You’ll think that this is a piece of cake compared to Pippi.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Glasses: “Try to understand how it feels to be forced to fight aliens, murder robots, and grizzly bears with just one air gun.”

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

The map is large, but in the early stages, they guide you to some extent, so you shouldn’t get lost unless you take some weird detour… hopefully.

From the middle, I was suddenly thrown into it, and since the dungeon is complicated, I got completely lost.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is there a possibility that 1+2 will be added to Switch Online?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s better to stockpile flamethrowers.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Use the flamethrower.

The evaluation of the weak glasses guy will change.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

But you know, in a game where you can go pretty much anywhere, you want to stray off the beaten path, right?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Roid has a flamethrower…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

The rocket has broken.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

The problem is that you can’t get a flamethrower unless you earn money first.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought that whether it was the death beam or the flamethrower, if they hadn’t broken, they could have been quite useful while using QSQL.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although there are additional elements, it’s possible that Mario Advance, which allows you to play the original version, is being distributed, so it’s likely that 1+2 will also be released.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Asthma is amazing.

Die

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s annoying that when you talk to people in the city for information gathering, you can sometimes catch a cold!

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

It may be different strictly speaking, but I feel a sense of open-world style in being able to skip events and access later areas fairly easily.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay to collect music in reverse order.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I see, there’s no dash in Switch Online… that makes sense…

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The background music is the best in the series.

No, it’s the best among game BGM.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it would be annoying to watch if it wasn’t edited in the gameplay video.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Duncan factory is spacious, and everything looks similar, plus there are so many items to pick up, it’s just too tough.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a rail progress until the rocket is fired and the railway opens.

From there, it will be fully unlocked until the last dungeon.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Deddedededeshugooshugooshugo!

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are countless games influenced by MOTHER.

For some reason, it’s usually the number 3.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

The older brother’s battle BGM is really good, isn’t it?

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s not out overseas yet.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has an unusually nostalgic feeling.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way the breadcrumb trail breaks off is realistic.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Mother Respect Abroad Generally 3

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not a game for this era.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was walking casually when a truck came out and killed me!

I was walking around casually and a giant robot appeared and I died!

Don’t set up an unbeatable enemy with no hints.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m definitely part of group 1, but in Japan, there are many from group 2, and it’s strange that group 3 is popular overseas where group 3 hasn’t been released.

I wonder where the 3 got stuck in the foreigner…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I see someone from a non-real-time generation praising thread images, I think they don’t have to try so hard…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it amazing that the third one has such a unique story yet has high ratings…?

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that 2 is extremely easy and accessible to play.

The person who is really pierced… I wonder what it is…?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

MOTHER1 is really tough.

Those who say the story is good are living in a fantasy created by the beautification of the past.

Isn’t it mostly fighting?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think 3 was particularly interesting; it sparked some light controversy back then, but now there’s just no one left to make a fuss about it.

The fans successfully altered history.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

People who are pierced by 3 are unhappy.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seeing that the hard depression is mostly being respected in cute dots, I guess that’s where it struck me.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why did Flint suddenly jump out at the end when fighting Klaus in 3…?

Because of that, I was hit directly by the PSI and became unable to fight…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

But isn’t it strange to only extract the crappy depression from 3…?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

The outdoors is fine just because it’s spacious, but factories and caves are really tough…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the time of its release, 3 was so different from 2 that it was met with a lot of criticism, essentially leaving people wondering, “What the heck is this?”

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish MOTHER 4 would come out on the Switch 2…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recently found out that there are lyrics to Mother’s songs.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe it’s because it’s not the GBA version online…

108: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Please take the sound battle tutorial more seriously…!

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want them to remake MOTHER 1+2+3 in 3D even now.

Monolith… please…

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

I had heard a lot about it being a masterpiece, so I tried it out when I signed up for Nintendo Online, but I got tired of the controls early on and found the combat boring, so I gave up.

When I play online SFC or FC games, I often think that old games were probably only fun because of the time they were made… Games like Mario and Kirby are still fun even now, though.

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s pretty tough for someone who’s not used to old games to play Famicom games now.

Basically, it’s generally less kind than now.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a bit tough that I couldn’t attack Klaus even once in the final battle.

Defend and recover… that’s all I can do to endure.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

I admit that the text of 1 is good in Magicant.

Moving and encountering is too tedious.

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Undertale honestly had a lot of heavy meta jokes mixed with depression that were too much to handle…

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I put in some serious effort, it can be done in 1-2 days.

I don’t really get it, sound battle.

Depressing development

I don’t really get the ending.

I don’t know why it has become a masterpiece position now.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

For a Game Boy game, Mother 3 looks nice and seems to have a lot of dialogue.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It seems that “3” has been harshly criticized by players who have no interest in “1” since the time of “Mother 2” until the release of “3”.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the original strategy guide the most.

I thought it was really stylish back then.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be due to the bias in the graphics from the third installment, but the graphics from the final era of Pork King feel incredibly off in a subtle way.

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Although 3 is generally a dark story, I would like to say that there are many ridiculous parts that could be considered gags (not black humor).

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

3 is a bit of a monkey edition…

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mother 3 has good background music.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish 3 had included more elements; the gloominess feels lacking.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

The music is good.

137: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

MOTHER2 is like a remake and sequel of MOTHER.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even so, there’s no need to transfer Samal’s spell to Lore.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mother 3’s distribution of effort is already off in various places.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t remember the details well since it was quite a long time ago…

Wasn’t the last Klaus just attacking with lightning on its own and self-destructing?

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Be cautious of titles that include “masterpiece” in game articles or streams.

I’ve recently noticed a lot of people treating old games as masterpieces just because they’re old, and thinking they’re amazing for pointing that out…

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It was lovely.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve tried researching the backgrounds of the graphic designers around Mother 3 once.

From now on, we’re going to make nothing but FF! In response to this statement from Hige, a group that left Square told Nintendo’s President Yamauchi to become president and make GBA software.

After creating Majin Buu, I was asked to work on Mother 3, and since there were many employees who loved Mother, I took on the project.

From there, the company split into two: one for those who want to do original work and the other for those who follow Nintendo.

It seems that one side of that company has now started making Mario, so it’s quite a remarkable transformation.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

Anianiaa sings out.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Look forward to Holy Loli Mountain.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you cried at the ending, read this manga.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the gameplay of Game 1 is hopeless.

I still like that atmosphere…

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s incredible that they released that in that era.

Right now, if you ask me “What is this?” while I’m playing, it would be a problem.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just simply add 1 and remake it.

Please make Pippi a true companion as well.

157: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think 1 is a masterpiece, but I can understand why some people would say it’s crap.

158: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I’ve obtained a dinosaur fang that can be used to make an incredible weapon!

From your wife’s chest.

It wouldn’t be surprising if it were thrown there.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is that buff for 2 compared to the strength of the buff for 1?

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Back then, RPGs were all about sword and magic fantasy.

It’s rare enough to have a setting in modern America where people fight with superpowers.

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

The worldview and the tone of the text were quite novel.

174: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I first played it on GBA, and while the combat is tough, I really prefer the story of the original.

The fact that Giyg and Eight Melodies have proper meanings is

175: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Dragon Quest II, so I also like MOTHER.

It’s crap, but…

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

The buff for 3 is strong, but whether it deepens the combat doesn’t seem to be the case.

The combat in 2, which is just about hitting, had a better tempo and was more interesting.

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

Release a remake on Switch 2!

180: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The feeling that the child is having a tight adventure is great.

I really like the place of Eight Melodies.

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked the story of the first one more because of its connection with the boss.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews

The fact that Mother 3 is so full of nature is influenced by the members related to Frog 2: Legend of Mana.

185: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even if it's a remake, it's still 3D.

There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?

Even if it’s a remake, it’s still 3D.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the charm of 3 is everyone in the pig masks.

188: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel like there wasn’t much of a story about why the number 2 is a power spot or why it sounds like that.

189: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

1 is the best.

2 is overall disgusting.

I couldn’t even get an ESP in 3, it’s dark, and I don’t even know who the protagonist is, so I gave up halfway.

190: Japan Otaku Reviews

It may have wanted to express the sense of helplessness in the transition from a nostalgic countryside to an urban era.

Overall, I personally found that there were quite a few unpleasant characters among the mob.

194: Japan Otaku Reviews

The pig mask has really good background music.

195: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>https://manga.nicovideo.jp/comic/5753

Just knowing this is quite a harvest.

196: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want them to release it in an open-world format even now.

197: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I see the graphics after a long time, I realize how big of an influence Snoopy has.
