Do you have a smartphone that can handle the game?

iPhone 5S? I'm not savvy at all.

Try pretty much any android after 2011. I think that should work.

I unfortunately have no access to any android devices lol. Everyone I know has iphones.

-sigh- I may just watch a letsplay...

When you die, are you sent back to the last place you saved, or are there check points? If the respawn points depend on where you where you save, I can't play and will watch a walkthrough, but if its like Pokemon where you respawn at a specific location (Pokemon Center), I'll play it without saving.

Let me check actually. You could just use save states. 

I can't. Both savestates and ingame saves don't work for some reason. Hopefully the respawn points are separated from saving areas.

I think I am more surprised that you watch the completionist too. I really like Jirard and his show. Seeing that was the net episode, I really really wanted to crunch down on Earthbound, but I`ve only progressed a little. I`m still on that game, so I can`t move on to 3. I wish I could help you. I hope I can play through the series soon, especially if Mother 4 comes out summer... orz

That's the biggest reason I want to play it. I want to have them both out of the way before Mother 4.

Just found out/remembered. You respawn at the nearest hot spring like pokemon. You don't go to the last save, you keep your experience points and items I think.
