Mother, sometimes known as EarthBound Zero, is the first game in the Mother series/EarthBound series. It is an RPG for the NES starring Ninten, a very similar character to EarthBound's Ness, though it has been understood that they are not the same.
Regardless, Mother shares many similarities to EarthBound/Mother 2, to the point where some believe EarthBound was intended to be a remake of the original. Like it's sequel, it takes place in a more modern, 1950's-like setting, as opposed to the typical swords and sorcery atmosphere of Final Fantasy games.
North American release
The game was intended to be released outside of Japan. In fact, it was even fully translated and ready to go. However, with the release of the SNES, it was decided not to release a new NES game. Fans were still able to play the game many years later, in ROM form, when it was leaked onto the internet.
