If you’re a Earthbound fan, you may have heard of the fan game Mother 4, which was a homebrew created as a unofficial sequel to Earthbound (aka: Mother 3). There’s a bit of history with the fan game, so if you haven’t heard of it before now, I suggest checking it out. The music for the game has since come out, composed by Shane Mesa, and includes both original compositions specifically created for the fan game, as well as licensed covers from the original Earthbound game.
The Mother 4 Soundtraaaack!! features 60 full tracks, with 8 being from previous Mother/Earthbound games. Composed by Shame Mesa and Mastered by DJ Cutman, the album is a ridiculously dedicated tribute to the Earthbound series as a whole, which was originally composed by Metroid‘s Hirokazu “Hip” Tanaka, Hiroshi Kanazu and Keiichi Suzuki.
Currently available under the Gamechops license, the Mother 4 Soundtraaaack!! can be purchased digitally on Bandcamp, iTunes and Google Play.
Update: I was a bit confused by the details. Turns out the game itself is changing names due to copyright and will be getting a different soundtrack for its full release, but this is the original soundtrack Mesa created before leaving the project. Thanks DJMiniboss for the information.
