If you have no idea what Earthbound is, than you likely are wondering why I am slapping a big ESRB listing screencopy here like it's big news. If you are a fan, however, your computer has likely been thrown on the floor in the force of the berserk excitement you experienced after reading this headline. Yes, Earthbound fans ... what you see above is a listing on the ESRB website for Earthbound on the Wii.
New game or Virtual Console release? Well, we don't know, although some news from last year points to the latter. For all we know, this could vanish in a few days, as some other titles have done after matlocking brought them to light. I hope not though, as a VC release would mean not only awesome times for fans of the game, but also that tons of people who have never touched it might stumble upon it...even kids, perhaps...it could end up being the game that makes them a fan of RPGs for life. I'm starry-eyed over thoughts of my own childhood, I admit, but who could blame me. Viva la Earthbound!

THIS IS AWESOME OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
I need a towel.
On a more serious note, DO WANT!
Somebody important is.
Now taking bets on how badly they screw it up!
this literally HAPPENED:
OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES! LOOKS LIKE I AM BUYING A WII!
They did give us River City Ransom and Double Dragon in the past two weeks...maybe they are finally starting to get back to the good stuff.
And as Phoenix Gamma said, maybe they did pay attention to the NP poll...here's hoping they did, because Chrono Trigger came in third.
If they released BOTH Earthbound and CT...I'd need more than a towel.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS.
please...please... please tell me thats not what you are calling Sin and Punishment
::slightly regrets not-playing the not-ROM::
Ah, who am I kidding, I've had that file initialized for a good two years now.
But ditto John Darkwood: "I'll believe it when I see it, since Earthbound fans are some of the most let-down people in Nintendo's history."
Amen
BTW: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
FINALLY!
Now everyone buy this so Nintendo will release Mother 3.
I think I might buy it twice.
I'd buy it 10 times for mother 3.
At least its finally coming!
