Nintendo officially announced that Earthbound is coming back to America via the Virtual Console later this year.
IGN writes: Mother 3 is one of the most hotly-desired RPGs ever, having never received an official translation in North America despite the cult popularity of its predecessor, Earthbound. But over all these years, series creator Shigesato Itoi has never weighed in on the discussion - at least until now."
The long-awaited documentary, which highlights the online community that's built around cult SNES RPG EarthBound over the years. It's an examination of the power of online communities and fandom, and the impact that Shigesato Itoi's series has had on its fans.
EarthBound is bona fide classic and part of gaming royalty that somehow still feels like a hidden gem.
Sweet! Does that mean it will it be available for the Wii 1 too (not just Wii U)?
Awesome, awesome news. One of my favorite RPGs, and a game that really showcases how to tell a great story.
Finally!!!!!
Never played it. Should I get it? I do like me some RPG.
My favorite game of all time. I still own the cartridge and strategy guide from when it was released but will absolutely be picking it up on the virtual console.
