Title: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Link41 on April 17, 2013, 02:18:03 PM After years of denying fans, they finally listened to the outpour of angry posts on Japanese Miiverse. Anounced during todays Nintendo Direct. Earthbound will finally arrive before the end of the year.

Is that only Wii-U though? Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on April 17, 2013, 02:31:05 PM Now Bickman will be forced to download it and put away his torch and pitchfork.
Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Fleach on April 17, 2013, 02:31:59 PM I just read the news (and searched here to see if someone posted about it). I'm very excited! I'll most likely download this, but I still do really, really want the SNES cart.
Hearing that Earthbound is coming to the Virtual Console is good news because now I have an affordable way to play the game, and it might actually lower the cart prices. Let's hope that happens. Maybe Mother 1 and 3 will get digital releases too. Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!!

Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Crabmaster2000 on April 17, 2013, 05:34:31 PM Just watched the Nintendo Direct. 3DS is killing it........... but what about my Wii U? So sad :(
Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Duke.Togo on April 17, 2013, 05:40:40 PM It makes me wonder if they are going to change the music to avoid issues. Should be interesting...

It makes me wonder if they are going to change the music to avoid issues. Should be interesting... Yeah, good point. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Title: Re: OMG!!

Post by: InvadErGII on April 18, 2013, 09:33:39 AM I was bummed at first to see the 'bubble burst' on Earthbound carts, but I am doing my best to remember that I didn't buy my copy to make money from it. I'm glad that, theoretically, this will allow more people to experience such a unique and interesting game.

Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: bombatomba on April 18, 2013, 04:45:36 PM I like that it was announced because Iwata noticed the "pleas from very passionate fans on the Miiverse message board." I'd love to see this game go platinum. Makes me marginally more interested in the Wii U, too, but only a tiny amount.
Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Izret101 on April 18, 2013, 04:57:51 PM Can i buy the game via my My Nintendo account to still support it without actually buying a WiiU lol

Nothing is going to change, this will be exactly like the SNES version :D Title: Re: OMG!! Earthbound finally heading to NA/EU Wii U Virtual Console this year!! Post by: Fleach on April 20, 2013, 06:14:49 PM Glad to hear that nothing will be changed. This is great news!
