EarthBound, released in Japan as Mother 2: Gyiyg no Gyakushū (MOTHER2 ギーグの逆襲 Mazā Tsū: Gīgu no Gyakushū ) in Japan, is a role-playing video game co-developed by Ape and HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Super NES video game console. Both releases have semi-alternate titles identified in the game's attract demo: "EarthBound: The War Against Giygas!" for EarthBound and "Mother 2: Gyiyg Strikes Back!" for Mother 2, the latter considered an official translation of its title. It was designed by Shigesato Itoi, who also developed its predecessor, the Japan-exclusive Mother. EarthBound was released in Japan on August 27, 1994, and in North America on June 5, 1995 as a stand-alone title. Despite being successful in Japan, the North American version was released to poor commercial response. Despite the poor sales figures, the game has been lauded by gamers for its humorous depictions of American culture and parody of the role-playing video game genre, and has since become a cult classic.
