Happy birthday, Mother 2! Nintendo might not care about you anymore, but you've still got us fans! Let's all celebrate for one of the greatest games ever made!

Yep, 20 long years(although in the U.S., its not 20 years yet, not until next year). Ah, Mother 2, how you warmed the fans hearts with your uniqueness. Here's to Mother, a great game series!

Still fits with the series. Also, I feel like there's a remix of this one in EarthBound, but I might just be thinking of the Smash Bros remix. ._.

Will some one please tell what is so great about this game? I keep hearing about it, but the only thing I know about it is that it has a disturbing boss battle.

The gameplay is really fun, and was really original at its time (I still haven't played many games with the features it has). The story is good, and there's a lot of clever humor in the game. It can also get really emotional at times. The sprites and the music are also fantastic. It's really tough to explain, but it's VERY good. Every Wii U owner should have this game.

I just beat the game last week and its really is a great game,its very unique,I really like the final boss and its the only RPG I've played where talking to every single NPC is actually fun.

I don't own a WiiU.

Oh... Well. ._.

It's almost like it ISN'T an RPG. It's SO different. The series is...

 

 

All the legit, no cheap-skate, emotional feels

 

All the happiness

 

All the satisfaction.

I think the best part of the gameplay is the rolling HP/PP meter. Holy crap, it seems so minor when you look at pictures or videos, but it really saves you a lot in the game. Definitely one of the best features I've seen in an RPG.

I forget, but can't you do actions WHILE it's rolling?

Yeah, that's why it's so cool. Even if you're hit by an attack that would kill you, you can heal while the meter is rolling. It's a genius idea. I'm pretty sure Mother 2 was the first game to ever have that feature.

I wish this series the very best 20th.Esepecially with how much I became a fan of the series.
