Earthbound

Earthbound is only had one game on the Super Nintendo. Wait. No, thats not right. There’s Earthbound Beginnings too and we got that on the Wii U and the Nintendo Switch. whew. However, wait, there is one other Earthbound game. Yes I’m talking about Mother 3. Its only ever been released in Japan and now its available on the Nintendo Switch Online app in Japan.

Earthbound is one of my favorite SNES rpgs. I liked the game before I was even a rpg fan! I couldn’t stand other rpgs then, but Earthbound reached me because of its unique humor. There has never been a game exactly like Earthbound. Many have tried to be like it and many have failed. And now there is Boot Hill Bounties. Its set in the Wild West but there are aspects of it that feel like Earthbound. Boot Hill Bounties…

I’ve loved every trailer and every screenshot that has been revealed for the game. When will YIIK come out? No one knows for sure! But the title will have a demo available starting today. If you have a local store that has a Playstation 4 demo unit,…

I’ve bought Earthbound three times now: SNES, Wii U, and New 3DS. Why do I keep coming back to this game? I didn’t like any of the NES or SNES Final Fantasy games the first time I played them. What can I say? I was young and foolish. I did,…

I’ve bought Earthbound three times now! I bought it when it first came out on the SNES, I bought it when it came to the Wii U, and now I’ve bought it on the New 3DS. The game arrived on the New 3DS today! Will you be picking it up? Earthbound came out on the New 3DS eshop today in North America. The game is also available on the Wii U. Nintendo has been giving the Earthbound games a lot…

Take this one with a pinch of salt, but a number of developments around EarthBound might indicate that something big is on the way. Why take it with a pinch of salt? Because there's nothing definitive here. There's nothing that out and out says "expect Mother 3 to be localized very soon," but at the same time, there certainly does seem to be something happening on the EarthBound side of things.
