"The best part of waking up… should be your alarm clock.
For some of us, waking up is like digging a corpse out of a grave. For others, it’s like birds chirp and the sun shines and they just wake up like Susie Sunshine.
But waking up is a part of daily life, and there are ways in which we can spice up the that routine.
After toiling with generic alarm clock noises for several years, my bedtime wakey-wakey (with eggs and bakey) was graciously changed for the better with the purchase of my first smartphone. With our bundles of touchscreen joy, alarm ringtones can be anything you so desire: a favorite song, loud obnoxious noises not related to ringing bells, or if you’re like me — videogame music.
So if you’re looking to enliven your daily routine of waking up with some good old VGMs, you’ve come to the right place. I may or may not have used some of these as my ringtones over the years."

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."
A translated version of this game on Switch Online would be nice, and it would add a lot value to the Expansion Pak service.
I would love to see an Earthbound game just redone with 3D-ish models and characters. Just having a remaster for Switch Online would be awesome!
Did you ever see the Earthbound 64 concept/materials? That actually looked really good, but I'd also take a HD-2D remake as well.
Nintendo seems very whimsical about what they give they're fans, sometimes they'll give them a bone (e.g. Mario RPG, Thousand Year Door for the Switch), and other times, they just give them little to nothing (agh, the Zelda anniversary).
When you consider the cost of gaming back then and even now, no excuses when costs are involved.
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.
It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.
It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.
