After a difficult and long development period of five years, ''EarthBound'' was published in Japan and the United States. English localization was led by [[Marcus Lindblom]], who helped translate ''EarthBound''’s goofy tone. While successful in Japan, ''EarthBound'' was a commercial disappointment in the United States, where a $2 million advertising campaign was held to promote the game. Additionally, ''EarthBound'' received lukewarm reception. ''Mother 2'' was packaged in the Japan-only rerelease ''[[Mother 1+2]]'', then it recieved Japan-exclusive sequel, ''[[Mother 3]]'', which was published in 2006 for the Game Boy Advance. ''EarthBound''’s protagonist, Ness, would also be featured in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] as a playable character. | After a difficult and long development period of five years, ''EarthBound'' was published in Japan and the United States.
