I never played Earthbound. Why all the excitement?

I was going to come in here and ask why this is a megaton, considering it's massive popularity and the ease of obtaining fully working ROMs. I guess there are still some who haven't played it. So sad.

Eh, while i may be more than a bit of a pirate for some forms of media (anime, namely) i like to pay for my games. Not above using emulators altogether, though, namely for games i've already bought but are no longer in working form (like pretty much all of my older Game Boy games and their dead lithium batteries)

I own a working copy of Earthbound, but I feel no desire to pull out and see if my SNES is working. Getting ROMs for old SNES games that are not readily available, I see no shame in that.

this, i would get it if it came to 3ds VC, but i of course im not plunking 300+ for a SNES game, but good for people who do have Wii U, ill stick to emulation
