I mean, it's a fine game. A good RPG, but it's almost always talked about as if it was some sort of supreme RPG on the SNES when IMO it's not even top 5 (barely top 10). 

We have games like Super Mario RPG, Secret of Evermore (best on the system), Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger who are all way better. Then we have other games  Soulblazer, Terranigma, Gaea, BoF2, Shadowrun, Lufia 2 and if we count Super Famicom there's Tales of Phantasia, Secret of Mana 2, Star Ocean and Dragon Quest IV.

I am not sayin all these are better.. but many of these I definately hold in a higher regard than Earthbound. Is it because of nostaliga? Because of Smash? Or what is it.. I am curious.

It was pretty fun. The atmosphere made it loved by others. It's also why games like Super Mario Bros., Final fantasy VII, and others are still praised. Yes, they may not be the best game in the world, but they brought what the audience wanted.
