Only the ESRB? Nintendo, if you have any sense at all, you'll bring this game out in the PAL regions as well.

I cannot WAIT until this game comes out on VC. Hopefully, they will release all 3 installments of the Mother series.

I was so excited when I first read the news on Kotaku.

This is bad news, actually. If they're going straight to releasing Earthbound, then they've skipped the original Mother...

On the other hand, if the game proves popular maybe they'll finally bring Mother 3 (and the original) over to North America and Europe.

I wouldn't hold your breath for Mother- it would take a while to translate all that text.

But perhaps they could do a port of Mother 3 for Wiiware?

Sweet nectar of the gods. I hope it comes out this summer. I just finally got my emulator working with a nice USB controller and everything. But if it's going to be coming in the near future, I might as well wait.

Are there any rumors as to when it'll hit the VC?

I will "buy a license to play this game on my Wii" as soon as it hits it.

I have a feeling that the VC version will sell at least five times that of what the original cartridge sold.

Despite, it selling for as little as $7. I picked up the giant box version with the guide and everything for $7 from Best Buy. I had no idea what I was getting; I just though the giant box was cool.

Maybe this will drive the price of the cartridges down on eBay. The darn things are selling for around $70 a piece. Mint condition ones with box and manual go for at least $200.

All right! Finally. One of my friends has been playing Earthbound through, and she hasn't stopped talking about it; I'm eager to see why it's so great.

OH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! Earthbound is one of my favoroite games of all time. I have a SNES emulator on my Pocket PC so it's in my pocket everywhere I go, I can't wait to play it on the Wii. As for those of you who are worried about them having "skipped" Mother and/or are concerned about Mother 3 never making it overseas, do not despair!

There's an indipendent website of Earthbound nerds (god bless them) who are translating both the Mother and Mother 3 ROMS which will soon be available for download for those of you who want to swing it illegally. BUT these same people told me they were told at a Nintendo convention of plans to load Mother, Earthbound, and Mother 3 onto a DS cart and sell it sometime in the near future.

The original Mother has been translated and floating around the internet for at least 10 years (most likely more). It was dubbed "Earthbound Zero," perhaps you've heard of it?

Ahh, yes I have heard of it. You're absolutely right. I don't remember the website name, but just google Mother 3 and you should be able to find it. You can enter your email address and they'll email you a notification to let you know their translation of Mother 3 is finished and ready for download. It's just a patch for the already existent Japanese Mother 3 ROM.

I've never played any of the "Mother" games, but
Earthbound will most likely be a download for me when it's released. I would like to see how good it is.
It must be really good because of all the talk about the game.
Can't wait.

Ha i also got Earthbound from best buy for Dirt cheap~

Remember the scratch and sniff cards in the back of the guide? ick! lol

One of the greatest RPG's on the SNES.

Mother for Famicom is basically the same GAME as Earthbound for SNES. And the text isnt 100% correct. But its still playable.

I can still "smell" those cards when I think about Earthbound and will probably do so forever. It is just such a classic, brilliant game. I can't wait to get it!

Yeah Mother was almost exactly the same game. Except different characters, and the main character's name is Ninten. LOL
