I also got it on release day. It had been the game to wait for for so long before then that I knew I needed to get it immediately.

I sent Nintendo a thank you email when they released Earthbound (and also took the time to request bringing over Mother 3) and they replied to the actual email. Not a generic response, but an actual response. It was short and sweet - nothing special - but I got the feeling that they truly do appreciate their fans and our wishes.

Best. Game. Ever. And I'm not biased at all

I will be most displeased if I can't hear the crowd vigorously chant "Ness... Ness... Ness... Ness... Ness!" Especially since Earthbound is making its way to the WiiU VC. And so lets keep in Lucas too and work on getting Mother 3 outside of Japan.

Dear Nintendo and Square-Enix: Shut up and take my money.

1A: Chrono Trigger
1B: Earthbound

The game is superb. Everything I could have hoped for.

With the potential labor stoppage, I can't wait to play as my favorite scab player!

Awaiting review of Flashlight. Looks like a must buy, but money is tight.

"Extra Modes are now locked untill conditions fullfilled." - This part scares me because, frankly, I suck at this game but love playing through the Extra Modes.

@18, 43, 59: Heck yeah, I read "Epic Yam" and I thought the creative juices were REALLY flowing. Epic Yarn sounds a little lame, but compared to Epic Yam what doesn't sound a little lame?
But think of the possibilities... Maybe Kirby could eat this epic yam and transform into something all-powerful in order to fight some mysterious force. I don't know. I'm not a game developer, all I know is that Epic Yam would be an instant classic.

I like the Dragon Quest sound effects.

I'm not sure I saw the same thing as everybody else! It looked like Indiana Jones meets buying things from the original Zelda. This doesn't really pop out at me like Cave Story did.

The only thing stopping this from being a 10 is the map problem and the music looping "problem" (in quotes because although its noticeable that loop points are missing, I really don't care) - which weren't even mentioned in the review. I'd have given it a 10. It has been a pleasure all the way through.

That game trailer looks amazing.

Mother 3. The entire game revolves around the theme of love.

I can wait one more week, but as soon as break starts I'm going to play this on the PC and ignore the Wii Ware version.

An 8? Someone is blinded by nostalgia, imo. I'd give it a 5, personally.

Sigh

AWESOME game.

This. Will be Epic.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Reminds me of the quote: "Any customer can have [it] any color that he wants so long as it is black." - Henry Ford.

: drool :

This sounds awesome.

Up next... Retro Game Challenge 2? Make it happen, XSEED.

Darn, I was excited about the C64 update when I read that. I'm still waiting for IK+

Edit: High hopes for Swords & Soldiers. Eagerly anticipating review!

I'm sitting here, waiting to give my money to Nintendo, but its like they don't want it.

Excellent.

Feels like something from the Grandia series.

you've "heard reports"?? You mean nobody at NintendoLife is a big enough EarthBound fan to have preordered this while the fan translation was in full swing? I think my EarthBound needs may be misrepresented around here

Retro Game Challenge is money. I've been pushing it on some of my friends and they all love it. The problem seems to be that most people just don't know about it.

Yeah I saw "chuffed" and didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing just from the article title alone

Now, please as punch I've heard before.

This sounds awesome.

What. The. Come on............

This game is beyond awesome. Its a shame so few people have heard of it. Easily one of the best games on the Wii. Opoona is charming, engaging and has a lot of quirks that aren't just forced or throw aways. I've heard people compare it to EarthBound because of its relative obscurity and then cult fascination, but truthfully Opoona needs a lot more cult fanaticism before it can be compared to EarthBound

Still waiting for IK+. I was hoping for it this week.

Dag, yo! Share the love, Nintendo!

Yes! Mappy was one of my favorites growing up.

This is exactly what I was waiting for. Time to make some space and download.

Yesss, very excited about this!

Still, its hard to see some terrible games continue to stick around while true gems fall off/down the list.

Awesome!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This picture has been making its rounds lately:

Just so happens to also be shoe related

Preemptive edit: Yes, the guy made it. Probably needed a new pair of pants though.

Wow... 1 and 1? Ninty needs to step it up.

Wow that looked awesome.

Okay this I'm very unenthusiastic about.
