 ::::::::::::Mother 3 was never called Earthbound 3. Mother 3 for the 64 was called 'Earthbound 64'. Mother (1) was going to be released under 'Earth Bound'. Although these games were never released, I think it's notable since Earthbound is not the only game under that name. Also, just a note, from what I see, in the Earthbound/Mother community, Earthbound refers to the english version of the game and Mother to the Japanese. People discuss differences between Earth Bound (0) and Mother. In SSBB, Mother (the game) is referred to as Mother. Why? Because it's talking about the Japanese game. Not the American one. Same with mother 3 (although there really is no real egnlish name for Mother 3. I've never heard it being called Earthbound 3. That would imply that there was an Earthbound 2. Earth Bound is the name for Mother. It has a space. EarthBound is the sequel. Earthbound 2 (64?) is the sequel to the sequel. Yea. Just a stupid note).    Wow, four tildes.
