It carried a $70 price tag thanks to Nintendo's decision to include a large-format strategy guide with the game in order to help players navigate its wacky, unpredictable storyline.Īll told, Nintendo sold less than 150,000 copies of Earthbound. yet, and those few RPG players who did exist were content with flashier games like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VI. Role-playing games weren't very popular in the U.S. Translated from the Japanese game Mother 2 and released on the Super Nintendo in June 1995, EarthBound had a lot of things going against it. Which is surprising, considering Nintendo never sold many copies of it. I was stuck in the tunnel again and the profit off it seemed unmatchable.Spend a few minutes perusing the mountains of fan art, videos and tributes on fan sites like EarthBound Central or, and you'll see that the classic role-playing game Earthbound has an extremely dedicated fan base.
But please don't rub in how bad it must feel for me to have sold mine in 2008 for $xx. Sure, it's a good game, but more than double its retail?
So, DP Community, other than for the awesomeness of the story, please explain to me why Earthbound is selling for upwards of $140+ on eBay right now. Soon thereafter, I made the same mistake that I made as a child to Funcoland toward that Nintendo-made game that I so long for today. In the midst of 2006, I bought that game for a decent price. I ran into a tunnel haphazard and despite some bus interacting with my characters there, I could neither return to Threed nor further the story into (presumably) Fiveton. I made it to Fourside before I glitched myself out of beating it. A true kids' comedy on a console was a hard find in my 1995 Ohio childhood. The humor was solid yet the mechanics were plain, but effective. I used to own this game and I thought it was pretty good. The sequel to this game was supposed to be pretty decent but it won't be seen in another language outside Japan for a long decade or so, I would wager. He looks cute and innocent but his button eyes scream first-party RPG with a cult undersanding to most who've followed 1995 in console gaming. Its street name figurehead presents itself as the sole yoyo-bearer in a popular fighting game series.
