Doesn't take much to please Nintendo fans from what I see here

Go to amazon and search Earthbound.

This is also the first time that European gamers can (legally) play Earthbound, so it's a pretty big deal in that regard.

Anyways, I'll give the game a download once it's available to see what all the fuss is about!

I wonder if this will devalue the SNES original as a collectable. Now that it can be purchased cheap on the virtual console only the most hardcore collectors will want the carts.

maybe just a little bit. FF7 is still expensive despite being on PSN for years.


What is your definition of "expensive". You can buy a used copy of FF7 for less than it was new when it came out. On the other hand a used copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga goes for 5-6 times it's launch price.

Is that supposed to prove my point?

If it was never licensed, then how would it have been illegal to download the ROM previously?

Not seeing an Xbox game worth that much.

On a more serious note, Nintendo fans wanted this for 20 years. This is pretty big.

Copyright (or the continental equivalent) allow the creator many rights - including not releasing it. That means, it is illegal to pirate that game, even if it is impossible to get legally. But, on the other hand, as no one is makling profit, probably nobody will sue you.

Thats a loaded statement, considering all the 5+ million sellers 360 has had this generation, both multiplat and exclusive, and with Halo 4 numbers. Dont know why you felt a urge to attack my console of choice lol.

Im just saying.....this is a port. A port. Play this on a SNES emulator. This isnt huge at all, and my point has been proven.

BIG would be announcing a sequel. Talk to me when THAT happens.

Don't insult Nintendo fans. And I like to buy my games legally as do many others.

Maybe you just can't appreciate the fact that they're bringing something the fans wanted for a long time.

Oddly (or not, I suppose), I was browsing through my youtube favourites today and stumbled across this:
