In 1995, Nintendo of America released EarthBound into our grubby, teenaged hands. We came for the fart jokes, but we stayed for the zen of a game that was well ahead of its time. Everything about EarthBound was brilliant. What’s more is that everything somehow managed to get better with age.
If you had a Super Nintendo back in the day, chances are good that you played Earthbound. It was far from being a typical RPG, but was incredibly fun in it’s unique way. Sadly, Nintendo doesn’t seem to get the hint that NA fans are dying for a new version, so the fans themselves are taking it upon themselves to translate the Japanese version. Wonder if Nintedo will step in?
