as the title says why nintendo bringing mother 2 (earthbound) to japan only.. I mean I don't really care for panch out there isn't even mike tayson
there is some gamers (like me) who wants to explore the world of earthbound there is not even a virtual release on the wii shop.
some of you will say that series is canceled.. if it is then why they bring the game to japan ONLY??

Japan doesn't get any Wii U eShop titles, so they are hogging Earthbound so that we can glance at them with envious eyes :3

Cancelled? Wasn't it just discontinued because it was an utter flop originally in NA? Why continue a series in a country that doesn't appreciate it?

nintendo should try to at least put earthbound on the eshop and see how it goes because I've seen a lot of people wanting to play the game but they can't offerd it

I wonder if it's Nintendo's secret plan to leave the games unreleased so that they can build up years and years of internet hype, eventually selling much more than conventional marketing could ever manage...

I'm afraid the bottom line is that we just don't know, theworldgamer. You might try contacting Nintendo in your region and asking them to see if they give you a straight answer. Good luck! :3
