In this video we take a look Earthbond (or Mother 2) and examine how it toys with nostalgia and childhood memories through its dedication to the point of view of its child protagonists. We will see how Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo's journey mirrors Japanese reality TV show, Old Enough (or はじめてのおつかい or Hajimete no Otsukai or My First Errand), and how both allow their adult audiences to reinhabit the mind of a child and see the world for how wonderful and scary it really is.
