"I don't think he had an 'official age', actually. Plus the game's development took so long, he might have aged overtime anyway. However my own daughter was in fourth or fifth grade at the time, which held a very strong spot in my mind. She would put on a backpack (just like Ness's) and head out to all sorts of places, you know?" | "I don't think he had an 'official age', actually.

Ness shares many similarties to Ninten, the protagonist of [[EarthBound Beginnings]], although with a few minor differences: Ness's cap is pointed left while Ninten's is pointed right, Ness's hair is rounded whereas Ninten's is more spikey, Ness wears white socks and red shoes while Ninten wears red socks and blue shoes, and Ness carries a backpack which Ninten lacks. Shigesato Itoi confirmed Ness was designed to be similar to Ninten in appearance to allow the player to choose whether they were the same person or different<ref>[http://yomuka.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/famitsu-06191992/ Weekly Famitsu – June 19, 1992]</ref>. | |||
