You just said it's already out. If you mean on VC, it's not coming. :(
Sure about that? check the ESRB website, earthbound has been rated for wii. wich means it will either be on the virtual console or released on a disc. Although we might have to wait a few years like we had to with super mario rpg! Why are you against your RPG fans Nintendo!?
Anyway, implaying the mother 3 fan translation too, This game would be incredibly boring If the storyline weren't so funny. definately one of the best games Iv'e played. From what I hear, Earthbound was/is the same way so hopefully it will be just as amazing!
