Come in, Mother

Mother to Earth is an independent film documenting the hidden history behind the localization of the cult classic, Earthbound Beginnings, better known in Japan as Mother.

Our film will offer in-depth interviews and behind-the-scenes looks at this game's localization from Japan to North America, a process that took a quarter of a century.

This project was initially funded using Kickstarter, but if you missed the fundraising campaign, that's fine! With our new online store, you have another chance to pre-order a copy of the film, some of our amazing posters and t-shirts, and even more great stuff!

Earthbound Beginnings didn't see official release from Nintendo until all the way in 2015, but the game was actually planned for localization on the NES. This documentary takes a look at that cancelled localization, leak, fan translations, and so much more.
