Directed by Shigesato Itoi, Nintendo role-playing game MOTHER (EarthBound Beginnings) today joins the NES game library on the Nintendo Switch Online subscription service.

The vinyl soundtrack for MOTHER, composed by Keiichi Suzuki and Hip Tanaka, is currently available for shipping through distributor PixelCrib of Melbourne, Australia. The physical release of the album includes arrangements of "Bein' Friends," "Pollyanna (I Believe In You)" and "Wisdom of the World," along with a medley of original tracks from the influential Famicom console role-playing game.

The album is rounded out by "The Paradise Line," "Magicant," "Flying Man, "Snow Man," "That I Needed (Was You)," "Fallin' Love," "Eight Melodies," and "The World of MOTHER." A crossfade sample is streaming on SoundCloud, courtesy of the distributor.

Suzuki's "Mother Music Revisited" arrangement album, published last year by record label Nippon Columbia, is available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.
