I imagine there's no less than three ragged Japanese scientists staring at a screen angrily muttering "The smells won't line up, they just won't line up!"

I don't understand why Nintendo didn't hype up this release. Like we all knew the game was going to come out but they should have at least announced a release date to build up some hype. It just came out of nowhere (I mean I'm happy its out but man zero effort on promoting it from Nintendo).

Didn't you hear? Nintendo's going ALL OUT with advertising and promotion now. Here comes their big second-half advertising push! Here it comes! It's coming!

Getting a billion fan sites and forums going "ITS OUT TODAY ITS OUT TODAY!  " is a way to do it as opposed to "As expected, Earthbound is out today.  "The Sega Saturn method.

Paper Jam Dipper posted:I never got into them as much as I should have. I stuck to the Paper Mario series instead when I should have been playing both. Whenever I can afford a 3DS again I'll probably pick the titles up. It's awesome to finally buy Earthbound from the VC, really cool that nintendo put the old players guide online too (and optimized it for the gamepad!) .TakaM fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jul 18, 2013 |

Teenage Fansub posted:Getting a billion fan sites and forums going "ITS OUT TODAY ITS OUT TODAY! Considering Nintendo's track record with pre-announced Virtual Console dates, it would be more like "EarthBound, which was scheduled to come out next week, has been pushed back to fall." Doing it this way was probably in Nintendo's best interest, since they can't stick to dates at all, for digital or physical releases.

Paper Jam Dipper posted:I guess Pikmin 3 dominated Japanese sales with 92,720. Wii U also sold 20,000 due to the Pikmin 3 release compared to only selling 8,251 consoles the week prior. Good signs over there. Next week the Wii U is supposed to break a million in Japan if the current numbers hold too. I'll be surprised if Pikmin will have legs, though. It's never really been a huge system seller, though it does have the benefit of basically being the only new thing on the system exciting to talk about. Wondering where the hell the marketing for W101 is. I'll be disappointed if it struggles out the gate, it's a Platinum title and definitely deserves great sales.

I hope Pikmin 3 sells gangbusters digitally just so maybe the third of those people who go 'oh yeah? alright' on the W101 package deal give it a nice bump. e: With the 10% I'm getting back on top of that for my premie console, I'm pretty happy about this deal for two games I was gonna get anyhow.

It finally happened. We finally get Earthbound (Mother 2). I know this was posted already but I just had to say something. This is huge. After disapointment after disapointment we finally get something! I figured it would never happen ever, but it did. And that is a good thing. If any of you have never played Earthbound, go buy it and play it. It is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

Yeah, at first that Pikmin+W101 deal sounded pretty sweet, then I realised that would be 30% off the full retail price of one game, compared to the ~20-25% off both games I'd get just by buying them from Amazon or Shopto or wherever.

Another problem is the hard drive space. I think most of the retail games on the eShop range between 5-15GB. I have to imagine that Pikmin 3 + Wonderful 101 would take up a pretty significant chunk of your 32GB.

Um, excuse me, but it's obviously still true that Nintendo refuses to acknowledge Earthbound because it has a midi-sounding version of a Beatles song.

Step 2: release translated Mother 3 on Wii U or (preferably) 3DS VC. Also, call it Earthbound 2 for the US release. I really hope step 2 happens outside my imagination.

Does Earthbound have any new censorship or cut content? I know that a ton of stuff was already altered from its original release as Mother 2, but I was wondering if this really was what held the game back from re-release, as opposed to Nintendo dicking around for seven years.

Playing Earthbound with my Wii SNES controller feels pretty nice. Is it possible to replace the controller if it breaks or was it a limited thing?

I haven't been keeping up that closely on Smash Brothers, but is it pretty safe to assume that the Classic Controller for Wii would work on it? I'd be shocked if it didn't, but just wanted to make sure Nintendo hasn't said anything to imply the contrary (or if, like, pushing in the sticks is important to the gameplay now or something). I'm thinking of using 2 Wii Classic and 2 Wii U Pro controllers for multiplayer when the game comes out.

The Classic has been surprisingly well-supported so far, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't usable for SSB.
