[_] Anon 1819029 Well, I just finished this today.
>> [_] Anon 1819035 It's a great game. Do yourself a favor, and play the first game now. (MOTHER/Earthbound Zero) I prefer it to Earthbound, and it explains some of the backstory to it too. Also, half of the music in the series seems to originate from it.

>> [_] Anon 1819048 I missed out on this series completely. My only exposure has been Smash Bros. From everything I've read, though, it seems too... "cute" (if that's the word?) to be worth picking up now.
>> [_] Anon 1819057 >># Mother 3 is definitely worth a play through. As for the other two, I think the word you're looking for is "archaic". They have very solid characters and writing, but very much play like a game from 15 years ago. If that's not the kind of thing that puts you off, they've both got plenty of moments that make it worth it.

>> [_] Anon 1819075 The feels.
>> [_] Anon 1819086 Claus fired an intense lightning bolt! Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the lighting! Claus took mortal damage! ;_;
>> [_] Anon 1819133 Lucas remembered Claus's smell....
