EarthBound Boxes Recyclable

not something worth recycling!

Anything not generally known by the EarthBound fans is worth posting here. So yeah, I definitely think this kind of stuff are update-level =D

That logo actually indicates that the box is made from recycled material, not that it can be recycled. Regardless, not really seeing why it’s news; lots of packaging is made from recycled material due to various regulations, and other regulations mandate the recycled materials logo. It’s not really news that the game ships with one of those “health and safety information” fliers either.

Wow. Do you think the EarthBound box has enough exclamation points?

Hey, it takes a lot of exclamation marks to emphasise how much this game stinks.

Whats the big deal? Lots of stuff is recyclable and made from recycled material…

Well, Scotty Boy, enough with you sassy talk, just so you know, it’s newsworthy because people like YOU never knew about this, so don’t be such a jerk about it, besides, practically NOBODY knew about this here until this post was written!! PWNED.

@Darien: Why don’t you read the text below the logo? It clearly says: This package is made from recyclable materials and IS RECYCLABLE.
And I still consider this newsworthy, I didn’t really know about it :/

Ninji – you got your wish and this became an update, so please take your own advice and don’t be a jerk.

Hahahaha, oh my god

The Earthbound box has a barcode on it! Can we make that into an update, too? Also, do another update on how it says you should read the info booklet before playing. Why are people not being made aware of these important things?

@ TalahRama- I don’t mean to be offensive and all, but doesn’t EVERY SINGLE product have a barcode?? Or are you just joking around here with sarcasm? P.S. Unfortunately, nobody ever reads those info booklets LOL 😀

HOLD THE F-KING PHONE!! ONE OF THE PICTURES IS MISSING FROM THIS BOX PHOTO, IF YOU HAVE AN EB BOX LIKE ME YOU WILL NOTICE THIS, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS??????!!!!! IT MEANS THIS IS THE BACK OF A DISPLAY BOX!!! 🙂

Hey Mato, not trying to be very impulsive and all, but I can tell searching for interesting EB news can be tough, somebody at GameSpot posted an awful review of EarthBound, giving it a 4.5/10 the link to the review is here:http://www.gamespot.com/snes/rpg/mother2/player_review.html?id=531053&tag=all-about;review1 🙁

Dear santiagoff,

The difference is that I was addressing the logo, yes? When I said “the logo means?” It’s nice to hear that there are words that say other things, but I was talking about the “red recyclable sign” mentioned in the post, which is actually a “made from recycled materials” sign. Remember the text of the post? Aha!

Have you done an update yet pointing out that the Nintendo logo and the Nintendo Seal of Quality are on the same side of the box?

Okay this is the weirdest Earthbound Central update yet, and that’s saying alot. I love it though, so maybe EarthBound fans are as crazy as everyone thinks.

Looking at the box makes me wanna ask something.

Is it possible to play Earthbound in the EU Super Nintendo? Or was the SNES region locked?

while we’re noticing things, does anyone notice that that’s not a real upc number?

I too would like to know if it is possible to play Earthbound on an EU SNES.

At Gummidge:
It’s not possible- at least, at it’s current state.
The Super Nintendo uses a Hardware lockout, meaning if you disassemble your SNES, there should be a piece of plastic preventing you from inserting it. (At least, on an American SNES.)
There are plenty found converters, and I believe some Action Replay devices allow you to play import games.
The only issue is that the NTSC format is different from the PAL region, meaning the graphics may look slightly distorted, and the sound might play slower.

@Ninji
Yeah, I’m just making fun of you for thinking that it’s notable that a box can be recycled.

@TalahRama- Are you making fun of me in a good way or a bad way?

Never knew there was a good way.

I can play EarthBound on my SNES, though that’s because it’s actually been modded to play carts of all regions. The modding opens up the cartridge slot a little and adds two little switches to the back of the SNES – one switch changes between 50hz and 60hz, while the other turns on and off the SNES’s ability to check the region of the cartridge.

It’s a pretty cool mod.

Hang on a sec – the picture of the back of the box… Isn’t a screenshot of Threed supposed to be there, too?

How many different versions of the box exist?

Exactly, Someone Else, believe it or not I have a crazy hunch that I got the picture of the box I got was from the display box!! 😀

@Komaru

I just noticed your comment.
