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.

I love Mother 2, cm'on bring it on baby.
YoshLee said:
It had better come to the VC soon.
Nova said:
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.
Nova said:
I'm glad I didn't buy super mario rpg in Japanese or I would have run into the same problem (I was so close to buying it in Japan).

Never played it. Willing to try it and see Ness' and Lucas' roots.
Seth said:
Lucas isn't in this game, he's in Mother 3.

I love Earthbound, it has to be the best game on the SNES, but it's really rare and costs up to 100.00. I have a copy and keep playing it every time I turn on the system.

Earthbound is a great game. It's awesome in every way. I played it when it was out on super nes. I give it a perfect ten.
