Pirkle attempts to guilt trip Varik to investigate where the monster is and kill it for the sake of Twoson. There, B.H Pirkle tells Varik that everybody is flocking over to the show place to just see him and then informs Varik that a monster who went inside a house and violently killed a young girl's parents. Pirkle, wants to talk to him in the manager room about an important issue. After waking up inside of a building hosting the Sexy Sisters (formerly owned by the Runaway Five), a man reminds him that the ex-mayor of Onett, B.H. The hack starts in Twoson, where a bounty hunter Varik wakes up inside of Ness's house until he hears a voice tell him to wake up and that he'll call the cops (implying that Varik was drunk). It would be cool if we could either debunk or confirm the theory, but sadly I don't see that happening.The hack takes place in an alternate timeline of EarthBound, where Ness doesn't return to Onett after the defeat of Giygas. I personally don't see it being a spelling mistake. In every other acknowledgement of the SNES version AFAIK, including magazines, trademark documents, the logo and even in-game text (the 'Meeting for EarthBound 2' dialog) uses the spelling 'EarthBound'. Second, the stylization of the game's title is the one used for the NES version. My assumption/theory is that instead of referring to a return of the villain, they took the oppurtunity to refer to the cancelled NES localization because of how the text refers to a war actually started/started, now a second return of Giygas. MOTHER 2 displays MOTHER 2, but the localized version known as EarthBound (stylized this way) displays 'Earth Bound' instead, also removing the mention of a 'return' of Giygas. The game title is displayed at the title screen. Later on we found prototypes of the (supposedly?) final version of the localization and even Nintendo re-released it through their Virtual Console service on the Wii U (rebranded as EarthBound Beginnings, while remaining the 'Earth Bound' logo in the game itself). Then it hit me.Īs we all know, the first MOTHER game got localized as 'Earth Bound' for the United States, yet got cancelled in favour of focusing on the upcoming Super Nintendo system. What I just noticed in the title screen ( ) it says 'Earth Bound' instead of 'EarthBound'.
