EarthBound on Virtual Console?

Dude, I did this, like, a year and a half ago.

GAH NIN10DO Y DO U HATE US SO MUCH?!?!?!

I really like to think that there is some reason for the delay we are just not aware of. Alas, I just think it’s wishful thinking.

It will probably just take a while, like with Super Mario RPG.

It doesn’t have something with the 20th anniversary of Mother & 15th of Mother 2? Something special?

God, I love how the Mr. Saturn is kinda poke-prodding at the EB cart with his nose. Makes him look all innocent and curious about it.

Isn’t it strange and sad that EarthBound still isn’t on the Wii Virtual Console yet? yes it is and cool pic

DAMN YOU TO HELL!

nintendo will bow down to my new invention,starman chuck norrise!

Well, I do hope Nintendo WILL someday release it, we probably just don’t realize it!!! MAYBE, JUST MAYBE… MAYBE THEY TALK ABOUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WITHOUT US KNOWING!!!!! :evil smile:

well, there must be a reason.
i mean, not even in Japan.
Stuff that happens. While dissapointed, i’m still attached to this saga

Earthbound is most likely not coming to VC because they refrenced a lot of things in the game and if the relessed the game with all the refrences they could get in legal trouble and get sued

I personally think Nintendo HATES their own sieries

I wrote them Nintendo of America a huge letter asking WHYYY?!?
And this is what they said.

Hello,

Because Nintendo of America is the distributor for the United States, Canada, and Latin America, we are only able to provide information about products released in this region. That said, Earthbound has not been announced for release on the Virtual Console here in the Americas. If that should change, we’ll be sure to post the news to our website (www.nintendo.com), so please check back from time to time. To find product release information for your own country, I suggest that you contact Nintendo UK, the official Nintendo subsidiary for the United Kingdom and Ireland. Please visit the support page on their website at the following address:

Sincerely,

Alain Dao
Nintendo of America Inc.

BoundingFromEarth – That’s a form response. A lot of people have gotten similar replies over the years. They’re not really listening to you.

F*** Nintendo, they hate EB.
I think EarthBound is a bit of a “let’s never speak of this again” thing on behalf of Nintendo.
Too much copyright, so they threw the series in the trash can.
*yells so many swear words and insults about Nintendo that the world explodes*

Personally, if EB leaves Nintendo and goes over to SEGA, it will mean the return of SEGA and many happy EarthBound fans.

Alain Dao is the new Reggie! Let’s go harass him!

Regie is the reason for all of this ness should just use pk rockin and kill him!

Stop the Reggie hate. It’s unwarranted and honestly ridiculous at this point.

it is Nintendo’s focus groups

They didn’t release the first or third games in America, just the second, which we can’t play, because it was for the SNES. It seems like they’re neglecting us in the States, and yet Ness is in every SSB game, and Lucas and an EarthBound demo are in SSBB, when probably half the US doesn’t know about EarthBound. Very strange behavior, if you ask me. If an EarthBound demo appeared alongside VC releases, they probably plan on putting it on the VC.

I voted for the DS compilation. although I doubt it will come out as a compilation (although that would be awesome) I voted this. because Nintendo stated that the esrb rating the game for the VC as a mistake. this makes me wonder if it was supposed to actually be rated for a different system? if the mistake wasn’t the game being rated. but rated for the VC…. don’t know. many say I’m stupid. but that’s my thought

Maybe, just maybe, Nintendo will make it to VC SOOOO unexpectedly, and they try not to leak it and we get surprised.Or they’re just doing it for the DS compilation. Nintendo, you better do either of them, or else! >=(

yeah as earthboundfan said, or else! >=(
(or else we’ll all cry)

Why is it that the second most votes on the poll are for traveling back in time?

It might be just me, but a DS Mother compilation sounds way better than a VC release to me. I mean, the chances seem slim already, and how do we know EarthBound won’t be a Japan VC release only? I’ll admit, I haven’t followed EarthBound much until now, so I may not have a great deal of knowledge on it, but hopefully in the end, Nintendo will give us a solution we can ALL enjoy.

nintendo hates EB

That guy up there who posted something about a “Starman Chuck Norris” or whatever is officially the least funniest person alive.

Earthbound is a GREAT game and nintendo should put it on virtual console. The reason I think its not on virtual console because that game is so awesome and valuable they dont want to ruin the fun of getting the original. for me, i have earthbound on the wii, i used homebrew found here if you have v4.3, you use ssbb to get past the update: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Smash_Stack
here is the original for v4.2 and under: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_channel
You can also get it from twilight princess and indiana jones lego, just search it! oh you also need to download snes9x and a ROM of earthbound, SEARCH THAT TOO! and go on youtube or something to see a tutorial of installing homebrew…

A better Wii hacker is Bannerbomb. I had problems with crashing using smash and other games.
