Ness is the young hero of EarthBound. He's a boy of about 13 years old, with a love of baseball and homemade cooking. But unlike most boys his age, Ness has special psychic powers, and it is because of these powers that the hero Buzz Buzz believes he is the one the Apple of Enlightenment predicted to defeat Giygas. Buzz Buzz comes from 10 years in the future, riding on a meteor that awakens Ness when it lands nearby his house one night. Buzz Buzz explains to Ness that 10 years from now, the alien invader Giygas has destroyed everything, and if he is to be stopped, he must destroyed in the present time before his destructive power has grown too strong. Thus begins Ness's monstrous adventure to unite his psychic abilities with the Earth's own power and defeat Giygas. Ness is quick to take up the challenge, but his long and winding path is blocked by the most ridiculous of obstacles, such as an iron pencil statue that can only be removed with a pencil erasing machine, a crazy cult that wants to paint the whole world blue, and policemen who set up roadbloacks just because they're proud of how good they are at it. Ness is a "mute hero", meaning he has no dialogue (perhaps it's one of those situations where his personality is supposed to be that of the player's), but there are some surprising scenes where we actually do get to see what's going on in his mind. Ness, like any real kid probably would, has doubts and fears about his mission (even evident from how often he gets homesick and has to call his mother). In one jarring scene, his thoughts are spelled out on the wall in front of him. In another, Ness visits a strange dream world created from his own thoughts and memories, and ultimately battles a nightmare to win out over his fears.

Eathbound was one of my favorite games for years, and it still is.. It's a game Like OoT that I never get bored of, and Ness is the perfect Hero character to respect.. More then Paula, Poo or Jeff.

This game is Excellent, I urge you all to go out an play it.. It's amazing for a Snes Game.

Ness NEEDS to Be Respected... So Respect Him. Sadly though, I could find no videos of him in action in Earthbound.

Soo... more pictures.
