A history of zealous Earthbound fandom

We DO just play it on the Super Nintendo.
But we love our Wii's as well. We'd like something more "permanent"... instead of the fear of an old system eventually dying of old age. (or dying because soda spilled on it)

The fact that we can have a "new" (not new, just re-released) version is what makes us crazy --- by the fact that we don't have it now. :/

I dont know what you're doing to your system, but I'm yet to have a system fail on me.

But if a $10 download feels more "permanent" to you, throw your money away.

Well, I know that all of my Super Nintendo games require vigorous blowing and delicate wedging of paper in appropriate places in order to get them to work...

Of course, there are other solutions... Now VC can be one of them. :)

Maybe you should take better care of your things.

I think it's more of wanting the game to gain a new audience on the Wii rather than playing something you already have at hand. With a new audience, there'd be more of a chance to get other games in the series localized.

Question: "I dont know what you're doing to your system"
Answer: "(or dying because soda spilled on it)"
^^;


...I was young when I owned a SNES, I didn't give it the care it should have gotten. :(
It ain't dead, it just hates me. :P

your parents should have taught you responsibility

"why not just play it on the Super Nintendo?"

I play mine on SNES all the time. I'd still like to own a copy without having to rely on a 13 year old battery to save my game.

"Its readily available... and if they're so in love with it, they obviously had it at some point."

If spending $70-$250 on ebay for a used game is what you consider 'readily available', I've got to move in with your parents too.

Responsibility?

1. My parents could have cared less about video games. Even if it was their money that bought it. They (mostly mother) were the type that considered video games as "brain rot". Understandable.

2. It's hard to teach responsibility to an ADHD kid. Let alone, two other kids. My parents aren't to blame. They did their best. I was the one that was screwy.

3. Dude, I just spilled soda on my SNES. I'm sorry if that's like breaking a Ming Dynasty Vase for you.

4. What you could say is: "Just get a new one. They're cheap now."
Of which I'd reply "No thanks, I like my Wii just fine."

5. Don't talk like you're the "head honcho who was the best of the best, and still is" to us. We all make mistakes, dude. And some of us really do like the Virtual Console. And we DO have a right to complain about Earthbound/Mother not being on the VC yet.

A. Because we expected it to be one of the first on the Virtual Console, since it was one of Nintendo's GOLDEN GAMES.

B. Supporting games on the VC also allows Nintendo know that fans want a remake, or something like it, in the future.
