Earthbound is coming to Virtual Console on the WiiU

[E-Man]

I liked earthbound, but I don't really think it'll sell all that well unfortunately
Us older folks will buy it, most likely, but what about like the whole bulk of the Nintendo market? Kids?

Its just one of those "Old School" of gaming kind of things; Do kids these days even like turn-based Dragon Warrior-style games?

Since most kids these days are into shooting things, that wouldn't be too surprising... If you give them a choice between playing a game about a boy with special powers and a game where you're a trooper shooting things until they bleed to death, the choice is pretty clear... It's sad, really.

Still, not all kids are the same whiny, little boogers who think playing an M rated game would make them "cool." There maybe hope yet that the younger generation would open their eyes and see what a really good game is like! ...... Either that, or Nintendo could rename it "Call of Duty-bound" and try to trick some kids into playing it.

Ahahaha so, Nintendo decided to release it TODAY out of nowhere

And with a $10 price... (the same price used for N64 games)

...I already bought mine, but now I'm not so sure about people wanting to try it out...

The trailer's pretty cool though

Oh? You don't say! I was thinking it wouldn't be released until August or something. I might try buying it once I figure out how to make a Wii U download stuff in Europe.

By the way, are the Beatles references still in the game? My friend Scoots would hate it if they cut those kinds of things out. That's what give the game its charm after all!
