While it's not one of the biggest franchises from Nintendo, the Earthbound series, or Mother in Japan, is certainly one of the most beloved. It's a franchise that has plenty of charm and characters that also tackles some dark subjects from time to time. While the games are still beloved, they have been quite hard to play officially, especially in regard to Mother 3. Despite its acclaim, this third entry in the Mother series has never received an official localization, remaining exclusive to Japan.
