EarthBound Beginnings: Difference between revisions

The game was officially translated into English by Nintendo of America in 1990 and slated for a Fall 1991 release under the new title of '''Earth Bound''', but marketing delays prevented the game from being released. Unlike the original Japanese release of ''Mother'', the prototype English translation contains detailed enemy descriptions, some redesigned areas, and an ability to run, among other differences. A few of the changes were requested by Nintendo of America producer and scriptwriter [[Phil Sandhop]], who stated that there were plans to release the game with an 80-page instruction manual and a separate release of the game's soundtrack, but the production costs, memory improvements from the Famicom original, and the potential financial risk from marketing and releasing an undoubtedly-expensive to manufacture NES title ended up having the game cancelled. Most of the alterations later saw official release in ''[[Mother 1+2]]''.
