Mother 1/Earthbound Zero released for WiiU Virtual Console!

also if this is in the wrong section please move it
Finally, Nintendo gives us Mother 1 (or Earthbound Zero). We now get what we (hardcore Mother fans) have wanted for years in North America! (Legally, anyway)
What are your thoughts?

 

What is an earthbound?

 

ok
those are video games, so that's nice

 

I'm excited for it, I remember playing Earth Bound Zero being a game I played on my NES emulator a few years back. I had so much fun playing it, I'm glad I can now play it on the big screen, it'll be awesome.....all I need now is a Wii U.....

 

Those random links made me think I got some sort of adware so I scanned my PC
10/10

 

Just call it EarthBound, guys. It's not hard

 

Well don't call it earthbound, call it mother, because that's what it is

 

Official localized title is EarthBound Beginnings

 

I don't own a Wii U, but this is good news all the same! I thought Earthbound Zero was pretty catchy, but Earthbound Beginnings is alright too. ^_^

Funnily enough, I've been playing Earthbound again recently. Never tried Zero...I wonder how its translation holds up compared to the official one?

 

They should be the same. Iirc, the original Earthbound was officially translated, but was never released. Some fan translation team acquired funds to get a copy of the final prototype(?) and released that as Earthbound Zero

 

Whatever the name I'm excited for it. I've gotten into this series so now that the first of it is released i'm finally able to get the full experience...
that is once i buy it of course.

 

There was a ROM for the localized version on the interwebs for the longest time under the name "Earthbound Zero" but other than that yeah I think it was exactly the same as this VC version they're releasing
now i just need a wii u ;w;
