Dark Aspects of MOTHER 64 - Thane Gaming

Dark Aspects of MOTHER is back, with an analysis of the even darker storylines planned for the unreleased EarthBound 64! From reports of missing sailors to kidnapped children, there were lots of mysterious plot points proposed by official promotional material that never made it into the MOTHER 3 we know today.
