Yeah, Super Smash Bros where most younger people know Ness from, but he was actually in Earthbound first. The character Lucas in SSBBrawl is from the Earthbound series too, but the game he was in was never released outside of Japan. The translation group Tomato made an English language patch for that though. You should think about giving it a play, it's very fun.
(Sorry, I went to sleep) *Hands you a macadamia nut cookie* (I hope you're not allergic to nuts o.o) The quote's from an old Super Nintendo game called Earthbound. I guess some younger gamers might not have heard of it (shame, it's a fun game).
