A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Mother 3 got me tearing up when I first played it
Another one I started and haven't finished :P. Do I have to play Earthbound first? I really couldn't get into the battling system. Also had a tiny bit of M3 spoiled for me, but I forgot most of it, so I think I can still go in with fresh eyes.
There are some Earthbound references in Mother 3 that you won’t know the context of when you encounter them as well as a bit of context for the main villain. But other than that, it’s not required to go through Earthbound before playing Mother 3.
Yeah if I had to choose between Earthbound’s battling system and Mother 3’s, I would definitely go with Mother 3’s because the one for Earthbound isn’t as engaging.
