Earthbound Coming To NA/EU Virtual Console 2013

[BORTZ]

Why did I think this was coming to the 3DS? I'm dumb lol

 

[the_randomizer]

I don't care about Earthbound. I read everything about the 3 games and it seems like a generic indie rpg. I can see why Nintendo stop making new ones.

I think you forgot these at home

Damn someone beat me to it but...

I just had a damn game orgasm after knowing about this.


Lol, oh rly? Then explain me this, most SNES RPG games were about swords, and magic and shit, EarthBound isn't, not to mention its successor, MOTHER 1 (Also known as EarthBound Zero) was a huge hit on Japan and they were considering releasing to other countries, but for some odd reasons, they didn't.

Mother 3 was successfull after EarthBound, so damn successfull that crazy fans (yes we are crazy) released a 'perfect' Mother 3 un-official english translation.

Can you explain me in how the hell is EarthBound a generic indie rpg game? Nintendo (Shigesato Itoi) stopped making games because, after Mother 3, he clearly said he WASN'T GONNA MAKE ANY MORE MOTHER GAMES.
Not to mention EarthBound was also a huge hit on Japan, but they decided to throw a coin in the air and say ''fuck it'' and release EarthBound outside of Japan, the first official Mother game to ever be released in the US, of course it was a comercial failure, after that they learned from their mistake and since then they have NEVER released another Mother game outside of Japan.

Hey cut him some slack, he can't help being a misguided 14 year-old COD tard.

Earthbond truly is the most overrated underrated game ever.



Both games are RPGs which were set in a contemporary setting. Ergo it perfectly reasonable to make my earlier remark.

O RLY?

All we need now is the entire trilogy remade for either 3ds or Wii U.

 

[Rydian]

That was the theory for a while now, a theory that apparently came from someone at Nintendo. However for the re-release in Japan last month they made very little changes to the overall game. All the music was intact as well. Hopefully this remains true for the North America and Europe releases.

The issue wasn't JPN-centric in the first place though.

One is series which has earned critical acclaim for deep stories, inventive gameplay and amazing versatility. The other is a series which Nintendo have tried to ignore.

Which is why Smash Bros has always included at least one (2 with Brawl) main characters from the games as playable combatants, and in the second and third games has at least two stages each from the game series, with statues of characters in both games, and the third game even having assist trophies and stickers with Mother characters.

Wait...

Ignore him, he's being a douche troll.

So you're saying Earthbound hasn't earned tremendous critical acclaim? Hmm.

In fairness lads, Shin Megami Tensei>>>Earthbound/Mother

Words spoken from a true Weeaboo.


Anyways, I have no idea what the hell Earthbound/Mother is and I have no idea why I should care for the series. But I'll buy it anyways.

I know someone on a site that shall not be named had a link to some fan translation of a mother game, still don't see what the big hubbub is.

 

[Dork]

Is this the thread where we ask for a Mother 3 localization?

Ever play Ness on SSBB or any Smash game? That guy.

oh ya I know who's in it and shit, Ness, Claus, Lucas and all that, but I don't know the whole ideal behind it. But to be honest, I'll buy it anyways. Even if it's not my cup of tea, it has big demand out for it so I'll buy it to support the people who do like it.

Knowing the games you play you'll probably like it. Think of running around 1980s/90s America fighting wacky enemies with a great soundtrack and great dialogue that will make you want to talk to *almost* every NPC. It's the little details that make this game great.

So this is just a Wii-U thing? As much as I love the Mother series it's still not going to get me to buy a Wii-U.

EARTHBOUND FOR 3DS PLEASE

EARTHBOUND FOR 3DS PLEASE

I say no. This is one of the many incentives to buy a WiiU, keep it exclusive to WiiU please.

 

[Gahars]

I say no. This is one of the many incentives to buy a WiiU, keep it exclusive to WiiU please.

Because people will spend $300+ on a new console for a 25 year old game that's stupidly easy to find ROMs for, right?

Nintendo might as well let as many people enjoy it as possible. It's not going to change sales one way or the other, so there's no harm in it.

 

[earlynovfan]

You know, I originally agreed with emigre, because in all honesty, I DO like ShinMegami Tensei a bit more than the Mother series. But now it's turned into the huge douchy argument calling Mother an overrated game. I shall withdraw my opinion, though I kind of hope this continues, this was getting good.

You interpreted what I said as this being the only reason.

It's not even a reason. It isn't even a factor. Let's not pretend otherwise.

 

[earlynovfan]

STOP IT YOU MONSTERS!
YOU'RE TEARING THIS FAMILY APART!!

kk hun, w/e u say.

I wouldn't call it an incentive.
