When the Nerd finds a copy of Nintendo Power exuding a belief that EarthBound was a rotten game, he later finds reviews that show how glamorous the game was and reveals a fanbase for a title he now has to play. So he does - via the Super NES Classic Edition - and provides an insight about the game's various flaws but well-thought out gameplay. This is Angry Videogame Nerd episode 156

Earthbound seems to be a game that's really a reflection of the youths of the programmers who pieced it together, along with their fears and memories. This in turn is a shared memory in their own way for the others who have played it by making them reflect on their own lives now that they are older.

His pictures compared to the end are accurately displayed too when the credits roll for the most part. If you miss a pic it wont be there. SOME of the photos maintain the entire context of the picture so if a character is facing the wrong way he or she would be at the end.

Giygas is actually an alien. According to mother 1 you see him as an alien. Only issue is that he is named differently in both mother 1 and mother 2. The story indicates that Giygas was raised by a human couple named maria and george. While maria sang to the baby giygas as if she was its mother, George secretly studied the ailen technology. Learning about PSI. After george escaped, Giygas swore revenge and started conquering multiple planets. Eventually he got so powerful that his body literally couldn’t hold it all and he became the embodiment of pure evil, Unable to think rationally anymore.

@TubbyFatfrick 2 года назад

It should be noted that Giygas's "demonic appearance," when turned upside down, looks suspiciously similar to Giegue, from EarthBound Zero (aka EarthBound beginnings, and Mother 1), which leads many to suspect both of them to be the same being. Edit: this line of thinking, as I have learned, is canonically accurate, as Mother 2's subtitle is "Giegue Strikes Back!"

cool man this was awesome! never watched a video game review before but the way you kinda went from goofy to being more serious at the end to really drive home the depth of the game was cool

@jerelminter 6 лет назад

And most fans say James Rolfe doesn't work as hard because his AVGN videos don't come out as much as they used to ? Just read the information in the description box under the video, the fact that he spent the last 6 months making this whole thing that you're seeing right now, speaks for itself.
