That is very true. I remember when I was new to EarthBound and I heard the news. I freaked out. Know I’m just glad I know Japenese and can play MOTHER 1+2

This game is important to me to some degree. I’m a new gamer, so I only got the oppertunity to play the game via illegal emulator. It doesn’t feel the same. I would get an SNES cartridge, but I live with my grandparents and my SNES is at my other grandparents house. Plus it’s way to expensive for one game, so I’m basicilly screwed unless they put the game on the Virtual Console.

I know this isn’t Nintendo of America’s fault, but it’s defindently Nintendo of Japan’s fault. They are actually indirectly encouraging ROM’s download and they will pay for that.

Earthbound has to come to the Virtual Console in it’s original form, one way or another. I know I sound cheap, but the game will benefit not just the fans, but Nintendo.

In fact, I believe we will see it eventually.

I was frustrated when I heard the news, but not infuriated or depressed. This comic is as true as it is funny. Very.

It’s true in most cases, but I don’t think so for me. Although I haven’t been an Earthbound fan forever, since 2002 I’d say, but not a serious dedicated fan until probably 2006…
Maybe that’s still not long enough.

I’m just going to say it:
There are 2 types of “new” EarthBound fans:
-The ones who want to play it legitimately, and are willing to dish out OVER $50
-The ones who are either too cheap, or their circumstances disallow buying EB off of eBay, so they just emulate it

Now, which would you want? Playing EarthBound on the original SNES format for most likely over $70 for the game and system, or simply owning a Wii and buying it for $8?

…REALLY?!

Well, that settles it. People that cry over the news are just too cheap to buy a copy on eBay.

I am not that new in the Mother fandom (I came in at least 1 year ago.), so you may guess at me: rather disappointed, but holding it out until the sour end.

Despite being a relatively new fan, I’ve already gotten use to this abuse EarthBound fans have to take. In fact, EB is probably the most abused franchise in gaming history. It’s a great comic though, mitch is a genious–I especially love the fourth frame for the Old EB fan, haha. SO TRUE.
