I played Mother 3 first about seven years ago now. Last year I took it upon myself to play the entire trilogy, starting with Mother 1, then EarthBound, then Mother 3. I played through Mother 1 and EarthBound, and I just reached the top floor in the empire pork building and heard this and i honestly can't even describe the emotion I felt. It's like a piece that was missing a long time ago finally showed itself
I really wish people would see the true art in video games. Most of the people I have known today have just said they really like a game they have never played for themselves. They take somebody's opinion because they like or respect that person. Nobody ever bothers to have their own opinion anymore; they don't care to try the game for themselves when it really could be a real work of art that will stick in your heart that you will remember for the rest of forever.
This is one of the few video game songs that I believe are untouchable. I'm usually not one to listen to soundtracks that have chip tune esthetics outside of the actually game play (such as Shovel Knight and other Retro inspired games), but this is one song where whenever I hear a modern arrangement with better samples or orchestration, I can't help but feel as if it missed the point of the original track. It's so simple but effective and it produces more emotion than other entire OSTs.
..... A time long long gone. These were the days of Nintendo where everything in the video game industry was just starting. NES controllers were cutting edge tech, and playing such "full" images on your TV was amazing and unbelievable. How strange to look back, plus the energy and vibe of it holding the NES controller and playing through this one. These games were indeed treats. Not for everyone, but for a lot.
I remember just opening the game in the middle of the night for the first time and hearing this. I just stood there and listened to it for a while without actually going on with the game. I just already knew that from the moment I heard this theme I would love this game, and I still do years later
When I first started playing through the games, I didn’t think much of this theme. I thought it was a nice intro theme, and appreciated its appearance in Mother 3, but didn’t think much else. However, after having spent about a year with this series, and thinking more about this song and what it represents, I’ve truly come to adore it. It’s the first song you hear in the entire series, and I feel that it represents it wonderfully. It sounds a bit sad, but it also sounds happy, and optimistic. All of this already makes the song sound beautiful on its own, but it only gets better when you learn what its name is and think about it in the context of the rest of series and its events. Looking at it like this introduces a new feeling into the song. A feeling of love for the world, which each game has plenty of. It may not have appeared in every game, but it really does feel like this is the main theme of the series.
I just realized recently that Ness and Lucas' victory themes for Brawl and Smash 4 are this sped up. I learn something new about this series every time I revisit it. To think it started with this song. It blows my mind.
I may not like the game itself that much but I absolutely adore the music of Mother. Its almost impressive how they made such simple tunes so memorable.
songs from earthbound beginnings is always so sad (like smiles and tears from earthbound) sad music kind of made the game what it is today and why we got earthbound and mainly mother 3 today
In the town of Onett, there is a kid named Ness. He was a special boy with many friends and powers stemming from his mind. He would release his inner machinations to the world with the release Super Smash Bros in 1999. The boy's life was never the same.
@@blob7115yeah, there’s a short documentary where he says himself that if more people play mother 3, he’s afraid people won’t think of him as being so original anymore. He’s a huge mother fan

In the Japan for some reason the year of the events the game takes place is 1988 (and no im not being rude im just saying a fact)

Songs like this are what inspired me to take up playing retro game music on piano/keyboard/guitar. I cannot recommend it enough.
I do the same thing! I played the eight melodies from Mother 1 and 2 on my violin

I agree! and for people who can't play, they can simply watch a playthrough
MOTHER/EarthBound Beginnings has some of the most beautiful music on the Famicom/NES.
This is one of the few video game songs that I believe are untouchable. I'm usually not one to listen to soundtracks that have chip tune esthetics outside of the actually game play (such as Shovel Knight and other Retro inspired games), but this is one song where whenever I hear a modern arrangement with better samples or orchestration, I can't help but feel as if it missed the point of the original track.

the game industry was dying before nintendo managed to save it
home consoles were a thing since the 70s
@@snailbutch Funny thing how Nintendo is the direct opposite of what it was once today. I will not impose an argument or such.

Such a magical chiptune. This honestly has to be one of my favorite chiptunes of all time.
This music really lets you know that you’re in for something special

Earthbound is in my top 10 of my cool game because music is to beautiful
Damn I really need to play this game but I don’t want to cry anymore and grieve over a childhood long gone.
I absolutely lo- ((encounters enemy))
Mother is a underrated game.
Mother forever
I may not like the game itself that much but I absolutely adore the music of Mother. Its almost impressive how they made such simple tunes so memorable.
Mother earth... funny how this kind of sounds like the combination of Mother and Earthbound.
I have this game on my switch it’s really good
songs from earthbound beginnings is always so sad (like smiles and tears from earthbound) sad music kind of made the game what it is today and why we got earthbound and mainly mother 3 today
i’ve just realised this song is used in the ending theme for this game
