Post by: pokeplayer984 on April 18, 2013, 01:46:41 PM

Earthbound Coming to Wii U Virtual Console (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/123363-EarthBound-Is-Coming-to-Wii-Us-Virtual-Console)

A Link to the Past 2 Coming to 3DS (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/123361-Nintendo-Announces-A-Link-to-the-Past-2)

Well, both of these games are going on my list to buy when they come up. :)

Can't wait! :D

A second Link To The Past? Interesting.

And Earthbound is finally coming to the virtual console I see. I wonder why Nintendo didn't just release it for the Wii since that was one of the most requested games to put on the virtual console. Ah well.

I'd like to know how Earthbound suddenly was just okay to put on virtual console now. Wasn't there all of this copy-righted music issues that was keeping it from being released again? Did they just get permissions for everything, or was that just some lazy excuse?

I had heard that since it wasn't a huge seller in the us that Nintendo of America turned their backs on Earthbound.  Earthbound 2 (Mother 3 in japan) never came here as far as I know.
