In fact Shigesato Itoi lives in a predominately Buddhist nation, possibly is a Buddhist and the game is filled with elements that reflect religions other than Christianity. Could these spiritual elements have been put in the game so players could be pointed to a higher being? Was Earthbound intentionally released by Nintendo so people could be led to Christ? Honestly, probably not. It is plain to see that throughout the Mother series song, prayer and faith are used as channels to release power against darkness. I am open to hear your thoughts on anything I have put in here or anything that I might have left out. I respect the fact that many readers of this article might not be Christian. I am going to attempt to convey the similarities I see between the two in order to show that possibly God is wanting to use Earthbound to draw people to himself. In this article I am simply reviewing parts of Earthbound and then comparing it to the life of Christ. I believe that this great story can be used to tell an even greater story. For me when I think about Ness, Earthbound and the different elements in the game I think about Jesus, his life and what he has done for mankind. To others it reminds them of the “good old days.” A time where living was innocent, fun and without the demands of life that we face in our present day and age. When some play the game they are reminded of the power of friendship, wisdom and courage. To many players Earthbound serves as a reflection and as a reminder of what is important in life. The Gospel According to Earthbound(Revealing how events in Earthbound relate to salvation through Jesus Christ) Feel free to ask me anything you like about it. I think it is fun that God is wanting to use all things to draw people to Him. Hopefuly it helps shed light on the truth of Jesus. I wrote this for an online Video Game Network that I am a member of.
