Ooh, no one's asked that yet. :p
The Virtual Console is the downloadable content system on the Wii. If you own a Wii, and can connect it to the Internet, you can use it to buy games that were made for Nintendo's older consoles, like NES, SNES, N64, etc |

| Speaking of Earthbound, one of my friends said I look like NEW AGE RETRO HIPPIE because I have long red hair. |

about time! Earthbound's one of the greatest games ever.
i thought it was kind of cruel to include Lucas from Mother 3 in Smash Bros Brawl. thanks Nintendo, include a character from a game that you're never going to release outside of Japan even though i guarantee it'd sell in huge numbers!

| I second Paper Mario! It's the only VC game I have for my Wii. It's one of the best in the Mario RPG series. |

My faith in NoA regarding the Mother series is almost completely gone =/
I'd like to say that I'd buy this if it comes out, just to boost chances of Mother 3 hitting the States...but at this point, I don't think it'll make much of a difference. They'd have to port it to a different console first, and I doubt they'd be willing to take those kinds of chances.
Bring on the fan translation! =D |

okay...well what's a legit scenario where this is a big problem? |
If your system breaks at any point, if you buy a second system/updated system, etc. Tons of reasons, and not one legitimate reason for Nintendo to not allow a unit to be deauthorized iTunes style. |

an attempt to make sure VC games aren't stolen and copied and pirated? i think that's a pretty legit excuse. |

No it isn't, not even slightly, because there is no reason not to allow consumers to be able to deauthorize one system so a new one can be used. That in no way hurts their DRM system. |

Why would they do that? It's a GBA game. We have the GBA here.

I wonder why on Earth Nintendo hasn't released Mother 1 and 3 here. They release everything else, right? They brought over Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, etc. I don't get it. Where Earthbound's sales really THAT bad?
I'd buy Mother 1 and/or 3 in a second if they released them (aside from if it was on the Virtual Console unless they fix the DRM). That said, I'm not the biggest fan of Earthbound. I enjoyed it, I thought it has a neat art style and setting, but it's not really THAT great of an RPG. I can think of plenty of better ones. To me though it's an honorary "Mario RPG" type game-has that kind of vibe and gameplay. |

They haven't released any GBA games in a long time...anything they released now would just get looked over, unless they put a lot of advertising into it...which I doubt they'd be willing to do =/
From what I gather, it wouldn't be hard for them to port it to DS, if they desired. |
