Earthbound, Earthbound Beginnings Coming To Nintendo Switch Online Later Today
« on: February 09, 2022, 01:04:22 PM »

Can they add an SP mode to Beginnings that takes out the grinding?

Two of the most requested titles for the Nintendo and Super NES libraries on Nintendo Switch Online are finally coming.

Earthbound (SNES) and Earthbound Beginnings (NES) will be added to the applications following an update later today. Although Earthbound was released on the Super NES in 1995, it was not re-released until 2013 on Wii U and then later on 3DS and the SNES Classic. Earthbound Beginnings (aka "Mother") was released on the Famicom in 1989 and a translation was finished, but was unreleased by Nintendo until 2015 on Wii U.

Nice to see the NES and SNES still getting support.  I wouldn't be surprised if because of the extra income Nintendo gets from the higher price tier, we'll start to see more games like this added to the NES and SNES.

If they were willing to pay Itoi more money to get the Earthbound games, then it's a matter of time before they pay Square Enix more to get Mario RPG as well.

This would be the first time I will play Earthbound.  I missed it on the SNES and I didn't have a Wii U.  So I am just waiting for the games to show up today.

I'm happy with thinking pokepal148 is just eating a stick of butter. It seems about right for him. I don't need no stinking facts.

Personally I think EarthBound is overrated. Is it a bad game? Not really, but it has some serious flaws and I just didn't get into it.

I LOVE Earthbound. It's quirky and basically requires you to use a guide, but damn. I just have an irrational love for that game.

Based on the reactions people have to Earthbound I am pretty sure I would love it, but I have never gotten around to playing. I have it on the SNES classic so I will probably just play it on that when the time comes. The release of Earthbound beginnings on NES online was the token game to be taken away from Wii U exclusivity.
