Classic role-playing games EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound will be available on Nintendo Switch Online starting today. Safe travels, Ness and friends.
EarthBound Beginnings is also known as Mother, and it originally hit the NES (locally known as the Famicom) in Japan in 1989. Its sequel, EarthBound, is a SNES classic that hit Western markets in 1995, and the entire series has been pivotal to the RPG genre, with mechanics and visual stylings that still influence games to this day. The final entry in the series, Mother 3, landed on Game Boy Advance in Japan in 2006, and it’s never been officially localized for English audiences.
Nintendo Switch Online is a subscription service that unlocks online play, cloud saves and access to a library of NES and SNES games on the Switch. An additional paid tier, dubbed the Expansion Pack, adds access to N64 and Sega Genesis titles. Switch Online costs $20 annually, while the Expansion Pack is $50 per year.
Today’s announcement wasn’t a total surprise — EarthBound creator Shigesato Itoi tweeted some hints just hours before the Nintendo Direct went live.

A remaster of Japanese role-playing classic Chrono Cross is coming to Nintendo Switch. The company announced The Radical Dreamers Edition of Chrono Cross on Wednesday during its first Direct of 2022. Like many of Square Enix’s recent Final Fantasy remasters, you can turn off enemy encounters so you can enjoy the story without having to fight countless battles to level your party. What’s more, in addition to better graphics, Nintendo said the remaster features an enhanced version of Yasunori Mitsuda’s classic soundtrack. The title of the remaster comes from Radical Dreamers, a related 1996 text-based adventure Square released on the Satellaview.
If you’re a fan of JRPGs, Chrono Cross needs no introduction. It’s an indirect sequel to the seminal Chrono Trigger, which first came out on SNES in 1995. Chrono Cross takes place in the same world as its illustrious predecessor but features an entirely new cast. As protagonist Serge, you can recruit more than 40 other characters to your party. And depending on the choices you make throughout the story, there are 12 different endings to experience.
