It was developed by Ape Inc. (stylized as APE Inc.) and was published by Nintendo, and is the first game in the EarthBound series. Created by Japanese copywriter Shigesato Itoi, EarthBound Beginnings follows the travels of four children — Ninten, Lloyd, Ana, and Teddy — and their attempts to stop an intergalactic alien's invasion of Earth. Gameplay takes place within an overworld consisting of Americana themes and tropes, where random encounters trigger turn-based battles with menu interfaces. The game was released to positive reception and commercial success in Japan, although some noted its difficulty.
