I was bringing up the Beatles, because two of their songs were sampled for BGM.

According to a Starmen.net source, EarthBound won’t be released on the Wii’s Virtual Console anytime soon. The port has been mired in a legal hell as a result of the original game’s numerous references to popular culture.


WHAT THE CRAG, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME.

So... Nintendo is basically printing money, and yet they can't release a game because of pop culture references decades old ?

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go into a nice, quiet corner, reflect on these issues, and then have my *crag* skull explode because this isn't even remotely logical.

Nintendo, I'm defriending you. To boil it all down... :/

Really, it's only Earthbound. I'll go ahead and be the illegal-download-is-good guy that I am, and just say "Download it."

Am I the only one looking at this positively.
They're basically saying "If we can't release this how it's meant to be, we aren't gonna release it."

This pretty much applies to me as well.


And me.
And me. I think Mother 1 had my attention for 3 minutes.
Slow down there.

I hated MOTHER 1. Gameplay was simply too dificult, and there was way too much grinding involved.

Earthbound was a bit easier, with less grinding.

MOTHER 3, the godly one, is hard, but barely requires grinding.

Stop right there.

When I first played MOTHER, I barely had to grind at all, and usually if I had to, the enemies were easy.

When I played Earthbound, I COULDN'T GET PASSED THE FIRST BOSS. I grinded with the weak animals but that took too long, then I tried grinding with the Sharks or w/e and I kept dying. e_o
