Pretty good OP, but I think we could improve it a bit.
It's good to have a light and breezy tone, but I think it would be helpful, without going overboard and writing an essay, to be a bit more informative about who Shigesato Itoi is and why the game is considered to be extremely good, well written and well worth playing.
This is a really good opportunity to draw in new fans of the series, and I don't think the current first post really explains why the game is interesting, relevant or special in any way.

Hmm maybe having links to HappyVideoGameNerd and 16 Bit Gems that really examine the history of the game:

They are not reviews, as much as they are retrospectives and love letters to the game and its creator (they do contain spoilers though for your new people)

Why the T rating? It was K-A originally, and was re-rated E five years ago when Nintendo was considering a Wii VC release.
After that, not quite so much. It's not easy, but I haven't Game Over'd in a good while. (I'm only just past Moonside.)
That was so weird when I encountered it.
In Onett and a bit of Twoson, yes.

Enjoy! The game is truly one-of-a-kind. I wish I could go back and experience it for the first time.First time player.

Being severely under-leveled and out of money in Threed was quite the experience the first time I played this game. Running for your life and getting the shit kicked out of you constantly really adds to the atmosphere of the area, and made it a huge relief when I finally managed to make it to (the next area)

People complain about $10, but I would pay full price for a remake with clay models and shit. This release may make that possible someday!
When I played it I was kind of surprised by the difficulty. I remember reading that it was as easy as Chrono Trigger, and I definitely found it way harder. It's not, like, really hard or anything. But it's not super easy either. There are some tough areas and hard bosses in the game.

I had no idea this was coming out so soon, I thought this was a fall release. Not that I'm complaining mind you.
Guess I'll finally know get to know who Ness is after all those years of using him in Smash Brothers 64.

First timer here! Huge fan of oldschool RPG's but theres a select few SNES games I haven't had a chance to play yet. This, and FF3/FF6. It's on the wii virtual console but Im holding out for a possible Wii U release? is that dumb? what are the chances? I know I could switch it to Wii mode and play it but I like the idea of the Wii U games letting you play on the pad as well more.
I'm going to try and post some impressions from a first timer here in the next few days. Got a $20 eShop card sitting here. So I'll grab this and another game i'm ashamed to admit I haven't had the joy of playing yet. Super Metroid.

This may just be the greatest game ever made.

The guide is in actual images:
Just change the number and you get the other pages.
Weird they didn't just give us the original digital source and just scanned the guide, maybe they long lost them, they obviously existed.
Now I want one for Pokemon RB, my first guide ever and taught me lots about Pokemon initially.

I am super excited. I sold the original to many happy customers while working at Electronics Boutique in 1995. I didn't get it myself because I just didn't know much about it at the time. That big box was intriguing, though!
Knowing how well received it is all these years later and of course not being willing to plunk down $200 for a cart, I am extremely happy to be able to play it for a reasonable price and know who the hell Ness final is other than a cool Smash Bros. character.

I know that there are lots of "10 bucks? What a rip off!" types of people out there, but it's the best game on Wii U (or almost every other console out there too) right now by far. BUY BUY BUY

Going to try and playthrough it completely. Never got past a hour or two in it.
Hmm. According to Nintendo's European sites (e.g. http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Super-Nintendo/EarthBound-771110.html), the game's been out for two weeks.
Anyway, I've just downloaded it. Can't believe I'm actually going to play this game, I'm going in with unrealistically high expectations!

You won't be disappointed.
