Overview
Artwork of Ninten
Ninten is the first and main protagonist of the
Nintendo Entertainment System Turn-Based RPG
Mother (known in America unofficially as "EarthBound Zero" due to the fact that the game is the prequel to
EarthBound). Ninten's name is a play on the word "
Nintendo." Ninten has
psychic powers (PSI in the game) and a mysterious background. At one point in the game, it is stated that Ninten has
asthma. Ninten has constantly been compared to
Ness, the main protagonist of EarthBound, due to the similar appearance and similar goals. Many other similarities present themselves throughout the game, but it is unknown whether or not they are the same.
When Ninten first sets out on his adventure in Mother, it is to investigate a strange occurrence of a poltergeist in his humble village of
Podunk. Similar occurrences are happening all over the globe, eventually leading up to a malignant alien entity known as
Gyiyg (Giygas in EarthBound).
