That makes me sad....I love seeing mother in a (in this case) more legitimate form.
Heres hoping the extra month lands us a US release of EB on virtual console.

The sad part is Nintendo has no reason to not put Earthbound on the US masterpieces list. I'm thinking it's a matter of corporate pride. By putting it on (and later the VC), NOA would likely be shown there is indeed a market for EB. This would be an insult to their reliance on 1995 sales data. What better way than to show you are right by never allowing yourself to be proven wrong?

I feel confident in saying that if EB were to be released on VC, it would outsell its 1995's release in less than a week (assuming it's release wouldn't have to compete with SSBB
) That may sound like a lot, but the market now is significantly larger, and tons of people saying "I want to know what that Ness guy is all about!"
Yeah, Nintendo would need to secure rights to sell it on VC, but the download-only game market is insanely profitable. Do the right thing, Nintendo (As if Reggie is reading this post or something)

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those. -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
