Re-release of the two first installments in the Mother series: Mother for the 8-bit Famicom and Mother 2 for the 16-bit Super Famicom. Only Mother 2 was released in the west under the title Earthbound (SNES). Both titles are turn-based roleplaying games deal with the impact of an alien threat on kids that live in a small town. The second game introduces players to Ness (of Super Smash Bros. fame), a boy genious with psychic powers. After a mysterious meteorite landed near his home in Onett, the whiz kid set out on a quest to save the world. The Game Boy Advance two-in one pack includes both games in their original form on the same cartridge.
