Mother is one of Nintendo's more obscure titles so I wanted to shed some light on it with this video. This is a deep dive analysis where I give all my thoughts, good and bad, on the first installment in a series that I think is deserving of much more attention. I hope you enjoy.

9:58 The Process: Game Deveopment & Context
