Good article on the history of EarthBound on VC, and why it will never become a reality.

It doesn't matter what anyone's opinions are on copyright law or fair use; the fact is that Nintendo's lawyers have a huge amount of leverage over the release of any game they're uncomfortable with, and EarthBound made them pretty uncomfortable. As long as NCL remains unwilling to approve changes to the game, EarthBound will stay buried. |

And if we are lucky enough we may actually get it. |

Yeah, it is sad. They would've been sued by the Beatles, if it had seen the light of day on Virtual Console. I mean, if they had considered how well it did or didn't do in America, they would've replaced Ness with Falco in Super Smash Bros, and added Wolf into Melee, and replaced Lucas with Krystal, and we'll have more Star Fox Love. Either that or replace Lucas with Mike Jones. Don't like that fact, then jam bananas into your ears! |

Please god, don't *crag* up this topic like every other one... Please...
I'm not losing hope though. There might always be that small chance... |

Use roms. You can play any SNES game without waiting for Ninty to re release it. Plus it's free. |

My brain just leaked through my ears.
They would have been sued by the BEATLES? Really? And MIKE JONES? |

The only drawback being that it is illegal. |

Then you might as well call everyone here besides the people that knew about this a looooong time ago an idiot.

People are probably going to flame me for this, but...
I really don't care (Oh, jeez, can you believe he said that?) that it's not coming to the VC. It never really caught on to me in general. |

And me. I beat it once, don't need to play it again. Seriously, if you wanna play the game again, play it where you first played it (ROM, SNES, etc)
Don't get me wrong, EB was an EXCELLENT RPG. Its definitely one of my favorite RPG in the world (Perhaps even in my top 5 best games ever made, its that good) But why bother waste your money on something you've already played? EB may not be on my computer anymore, but hey, theres nothing stopping me from getting EB again on my computer.
even if its illegal  |
