EarthBound on Virtual Console possible
A new listing on the ESRB website has EarthBound (known as Mother 2 in Japan) down for Wii. This means that the SNES classic could well come to the Virtual Console at some point in the future.
Who says that NP poll was just for fun?
I'm hopeful for this, since I haven't played EarthBound before (the shame).

WW, don't worry, I havn't either. I thought I was the only one. Let's hope this is StatesBound (te-he!).

Now I'll finally be able to play Earthbound.

I've played just a small bit of EarthBound. It didn't impress me much, but I didn't really get that deep into the game. However, this may, if successful enough, convince Nintendo to create an all-new EarthBound! Nintendo needs a great RPG today. I'm tired of hearing people whine every Monday about "no Mario RPG!".

Me either, but it sounds kind of interesting.

It had better come to the VC soon.

Me neither. I want to play it though. It sounds awesome.

I don't understand why Nintendo is quick to allow shovelware on the Wii, but when it comes to legendary RPGs like Crono Trigger, Mario RPG, Earthbound, and FF they tease, lie and deny. This is the same issue that I have with the international versions of of Final Fantasies and Kingdom Hearts Final Mixes. People want it, but they won't deliver. All they have to do is just translate the game along with the EXACT same assets, which a small team can do in a few months. Dare I say vaporware?

Oh snap, I am SO ready for a new Earthbound game.

I've played it in Japanese (no I actually don't speak Japanese). Needless to say I didn't get very far.

This had better happen along with Eartbound Zero (Mother), best RPGs of Big N's fine selection.
