The original Mother was never released officially in English. Sure: the gameplay is fairly standard wandering and grinding, but the presentation is risky, different and absolutely marvellous. The cute, cartoony graphics and oddball enemies combine to create a game unlike anything other on the NES. And, to help, they enlisted the services of Nintendo‘s very own Shigeru Miyamoto to act as Producer. They wanted to take the level-grinding game mechanics of the Dragon Quest series and use them to produce a fantasy satire of the late 20th century United States. It was the beginning of the Mother series and the start of a role-playing gamer’s journey into the mind of Shigesato Itoi and his merry band of developers at HAL Laboratory. This classic NES game was initially released in Japan in 1989 under the title of Mother.
