On June 14, 2015, Nintendo announced and released Mother for Wii U Virtual Console, in Japanese as well as its first ever English release, under the title '''EarthBound Beginnings'''. While the English version is the same as the unreleased English prototype, the Japanese version had several changes from ''Mother 1+2'' backported to it. Notably, the [[Crow]]'s cigarette was removed and a line in [[Twinkle Elementary School]] that mentioning ''Dragon Quest 4'' had the reference to that game removed.<ref>[http://earthboundcentral.com/2015/06/japanese-wii-u-mother-has-changes/ EarthBound Central: "Japanese Wii U MOTHER Has Changes"]</ref> | On June 14, 2015, Nintendo announced and released Mother for Wii U Virtual Console, in Japanese as well as its first ever English release, under the title '''EarthBound Beginnings'''.

Mother was a commercial success in Japan, receiving the "Silver Hall of Fame" score of 31/40 from ''Weekly Famitsu''. According to a ''Famitsu'' poll, it was considered the 9th best Famicom game and the 38th best game of all time. | |||
EarthBound Beginnings also received strong positive reception in the west, similar to its successor. It was one of the most bought NES game on the Wii U Virtual Console during its lifespan, and was the only NES game with a 5 star rating during the first few months of the release. Critics praised its originality, music, and artstyle, while saying how it "parodies" other more "serious" RPG games such as the ''Dragon Quest'' series. However it received complaints about its balance issues, which caused the player to go through long periods of grinding, and random encounter rate. Nevertheless, EarthBound Beginnings remains one of the most popular downloadable games on the virtual console behind its successor. | |||
