I know people talk about some problems with the game's music, but I doubt it would cause any actual problems. I mean, having music that sounded like other people's music hasn't stopped Chrono Trigger, FF7, Donkey Kong Country 3, Mega Man X3, Mega Man 1 and all the genesis Sonic games (amongst others) from being re-released. --- End quote --- That's Nintendo for ya. Say, do you remember the ads for that game? It's almost like Nintendo was wanting it to fail. --- End quote --- I have a very, very, very faint recollection of these ads (thankfully): http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/01/earthbounds-marketing-campaign/ --- End quote --- That 3rd one on that site I actually still have in a GamePro somewhere. After reading it, it didn't make me want to play the game. So good job Nintendo, you can do so great and yet fail so hard. |

You know, the sad thing about the marketing is that the video showed in video game store TVs... is actually the closest this whole thing got to proper marketing. It's really weird how they thought this was good marketing at all. And it wasn't terribly widespread either. The only reason I knew about it at all (there weren't any game stores around here at the time, and I wasn't subscribed to Nintendo Power at that point) is because they had the big box on display at Blockbuster for rental and I wanted it because "the box is huge, the game MUST be great!" (I totally should have taken it). It was a disaster to say the least. I was lucky to have friends that DID play it who talked to me about how good it was (who were particularly excited to see Ness in Smash Bros, which is what got me into Earthbound). |

I've promised my son that one day he will have this game to play on our snes. He's played it through on the emulator and played through a repro cart of earthbound zero on the nes and even played through the translated rom of mother 3. I just can't pay what is being asked for this game no matter how good it is. We can wait for the bubble to burst or maybe get lucky one day. |
