'''''EarthBound''''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|MOTHER2: ギーグの逆襲| | '''''EarthBound''''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|MOTHER2: ギーグの逆襲|Mazā Tsu: Gīgu no gyakushū}}''' ''Mother 2: {{tt|Gyiyg|Giygas}}'s Counterattack'') is a 1994 role-playing video game developed by [[Ape]] and [[HAL Laboratory]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It is a sequel to 1989's Japan-only ''[[Mother (video game)|Mother]]'', and is the second entry in the [[EarthBound (series)|''EarthBound'' series]]. Set in a fictionalized and hyperbolized version of [[Eagleland|America]], ''EarthBound'' involves four children led by the brave [[Ness]], prophesied to save the world by collecting eight melodies strewn across the world. | ||
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. A Japan-exclusive sequel, ''[[Mother 3]]'', 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.
