I cannot even begin to explain my excitement for this. I have been an avid fan of EarthBound (or better known as MOTHER 2 in Japan) for years now. While I own a hardcopy of the game itself for the Super Nintendo, I know a lot of people who can't afford to buy one themselves (and let's face it- emulators simply don't cut it). All the better to buy a Wii U! EarthBound has already been released to the Japanese Virtual Console a couple weeks ago, however it is finally confirmed that it will be released to North America as well as Europe by the end of the year. Here's to hoping Nintendo will finally realize how big of a fanbase this game has (and will make an excellent Holiday gift!).
Just because it failed once, doesn't mean it'll fail again. Besides, Nintendo will end up making a profit in the end, especially because this is a digital download and not a physical copy that will be sold in stores.
