Mother 3.
Yeah. I think Earthbound is really overrated, but Mother 3 is kinda... woah. It's one of the most depressing and morose tales I've ever seen committed to any video game, let alone a game made by the big N. Fan translation probably helped maintain that feeling, but it really struck me deep that I was playing this game that was hiding such a depressing tale of how society robs us of the simple purity of our young life and we're maybe a little blinded to it by the goofy quirkiness of life here and there that we dwell on more than the real issues.
