In 1994, a video game sequel called Mother 2 releases in Japan, coming to the US a year later as Earthbound. A sales flop at the time, Earthbound would in time acquire a devoted fanbase and become one of the most acclaimed video games ever made.
Earthbound, USA is the story of the die-hard fans who ensured the game would never fade from sight for American audiences – an essential documentary for fans of the game itself, as well as retro consoles at large, and is a testament to the power of fandom at its best.
