Already own a physical copy with the guide, bought this day one just to show my support.
And who the hell doesn't like PSI Rockin'?

Hopefully this does well enough to port Mother 3 onto the 3DS.
Now that's some dreaming.
When Wii U got VC announced, they strangely announced the GBA.
To me, the only reason for this is for Mother 3 on Wii U.
First time playing?

Would it have killed them to put this on the Wii proper?

Probably won't have time to actually start playing this until the weekend, but I downloaded it the instant I heard it was up. Damn this feels hella surreal after so long.

I played it at a friends last winter because I didn't want to pay the exorbitant amount that a cart only copy was going for. It was so amazing. The music is so damn catchy.
I remember this was the first RPG I ever played where I ended up wanting to talk to just about every NPC I could find. The dialogue was that good. So many other things were done right too, but the NPC dialogue thing is just sooooooo rare. And I love RPGs.
Have fun with it, first timers. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did so many summers ago.

Just bought it an hour ago. Only played long enough to name my characters, but it seems cool. Looking forward to diving in later tonight
Seeing as the game was never released in Europe originally, no.

Do we know yet if there's any removed content in this?
Its gonna be 60hz, because there is not PAL Version.

I like how realistic it is when you call your sister.
I know in real life my sister reminds me where she works each time I call her.

I'm so glad EarthBound is finally once again being officially recognized. It and Mother 3 changed my life.
(You guys think we might see Ness on the Smash site tomorrow?)

Fuck.
I'm furious. Every time I download something from the eshop it defaults to my external drive for some stupid reason. And then I don't remember to manually move it to my flash internal and so I play it and it crashes. Even if I have restore points and saves, they ALWAYS GET WIPED.
I was up to the arcade (which took me an hour or so...first time) and lost it all.
This has happened before, too. So mad. Any game off of the USB drive freezes.

Why don't you unplug the drive before making purchases?
Eh, probably not. Ness will probably be a secret character again. And of course EB was already on the Japanese VC. The West never seems to be taken into consideration by Japanese teams during development.
Stop resisting, do ittttt

I don't remember every time. Is there no way to tell the Wii U where to download to?
As an aside I was really enjoying the game.

I haven't yet purchased an external drive for my Wii U, so unfortunately I'm not sure. Sorry

Anyone new to playing the game should make an effort to not only talk to many NPCs, but to also stop and read whatever signs (including bulletin boards) that are around. The game's writing is just flat-out fun to read regardless of the context.

I'm almost certain that it's the original game fully intact, just based on what Bill Trinen said.
Of course, confirmation would be nice. Anyone get to the Sky Runner part yet? Did they change the music? (admittedly that part is a few hours into the game so I doubt anyone is there yet unless they've been playing all day).
To be honest it'd be kind of silly if they did change anything. It's all pretty much fair use and parody. Dali's Clock might be the one exception, I don't know.
This game is a true classic.
I won't be purchasing it right away, but I will in the next month or two. I have a few many games in my backlog to burn through first, but I'll definitely get around to it. I still have my original SNES cart with guide, but my SNES isn't connected so the Wii U port would be great for ease-of-use. Also, to support the series.
To those playing through Earthbound for the first time, I envy you.
