With EarthBound's VC release on the horizon, I saw it fit to not only get an idea of how many people would buy it, but also to spread EarthBound's cult of happy-happyism (people who have played the game will understand the reference). If Nintendo ever decides to release this (which they simply must, as it was recently rated by the ESRB), I would buy it for myself and for one or two others.
I own all 3 Mother games on the respective original hardware, so I wouldn't buy it on VC.
I have no real interest in the game. I'm also somewhat opposed to paying money for roms.
Well, I have all 3 Mother games, but I don't have Earthbound (US Version). Seeing as I don't want to pay upwards to $100 for it on eBay, YES I WILL GET IT! ;D
Upwards of $100 ?
I think I've seen it go for $38
I own Mother 1 for Famicom, Earthbound (repro) for NES, Mother 2 for Super Famicom and Earthbound for Super Nes. As you can see, I'm a solid Earthbound fan so OF COURSE I'm going to buy it on Virtual Console! ;D I've been saving my 800 wii points for it for some time now! :P
Maybe if I have no room and only my wii in there then yeah to save space....other than that nah
In a second. I still own the original SNES copy, box and strategy guide and everything, and I would still buy it. I LOVE EARTHBOUND.
Oh. Here's one.
SFC version, though.

LOL I know that game is very common you know!
Yeah, the US English version of EarthBound is very rare, but I've seen MOTHER 2 carts go for $10 on ebay.
The prototype yeah but a repro is like 30bucks or something
No, I was referring to EarthBound (MOTHER 2), not Earth Bound (MOTHER). The prototype English Earth Bound (NES) can go for well over $1000 on ebay while the English EarthBound (SNES) will be ~$70. The Japanese versions of both are far, far more common.
Edit: Oh, and yes, you can get an Earth Bound reproduction cart for $25.
Months ago I would've said yes, but I won a cartridge-only copy of EB on Ebay, so no problems for me.
I'd like to see the original Earthbound (Mother 1) on the VC. I mean it was finished and with the rising popularity of the series due to Brawl, why not?
Yeah, I personally prefer Earth Bound to EarthBound by far. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Nintendo will be releasing Earth Bound anytime in the near future...
I think they should just make a compilation of all three and put it on the DS. I would flip if they did that. But, that's a very very unlikely scenario. :'(
