There are 3 games

Mother - it's from the NES - 1989 - Never officially translated, but there's a pretty great fan translation ROM called Earthbound Zero in the web. Very hardcore, I never played, but watched Chuggaaconroy's let's play and highly recommend it (both the LP and the game). Pretty hardcore, though.

Mother 2 - SNES - 1994 - The only official translated game from Nintendo, came as Earthbound. Fantastic RPG, and one of the biggest cult classic games of all time.

Mother 3 - GBA 2005 - Reggie didn't wanted to translate it... but the internet did! And it's fantastic! I played it on my DS and it's even more imaginative than the others - there's even an ancient race of... Drag Queens and that is not even close to the "worst" they could think of! 

And then there's fan made 4, which is going smoothly. May be released soon (soon by fan made games are usually 2 years, lol)

I had heard that they never bothered QA checking the last dungeon, and that it is practically impossible to beat the game.

You are both wrong.

EarthBound Zero is an official translation that was simply never released.

The game was very much playtested throughout and veyr popular in Japan; it's just oldschool difficult, Dragon Quest-style (that is, the first Dragon Quest)
