Guy hacks marriage proposal into Earthbound
41
Video game-themed proposals certainly aren't new, but when a reaction is as genuine as Liz's -- who was just proposed to via an in-game message hacked into Earthbound by Matt -- it must be shared. Best of luck, you two!

lets just hope that this guy wont get the same answer as what Nintendo gives to us whenever we ask for an earthbound 3 localization........... Unless youre from japan, and if you are, then I envy you, you lucky bastard.

@LowKeyyyy You DO realize there's a complete translation out for the game right?

This guy's telling the truth. I've played it and it's awesome.
I still have to beat Earthbound though. I'm at that city by the sea and I can't beat that stupid sea monster. Is the screen supposed to get all flippy where you can't see the controls? It's hard...

Brilliant. Well thought out, well executed, and from the heart.
A ring in the champagne glass just isn't gonna' cut it anymore - let's step our game up, dudes!

"SHE SAID YES!"
How bad would it be if she had said no and that popped up.

I gave my ex an IOU for an engagement ring. Maybe that is why she is the "ex." Noooo, she was a hussie but it was a good joke anyways.

Well sorry Mr. Rockafella if people cant afford to buy houses and planes to propose. Both of them loved games, they ran a gamers live podcast/stream and he used one of her favourite games to propose. Whats romantic to someone will be crap to someone else.

Oh no she is marrying an Earthbound fan? I hope she is prepared for him constantly looking for ways to bring up that Earthbound is the greatest game ever. He probably has her say "Mother 3 needs to come to the North America" during sex.

@FriedConsole You do realize that shes a Earthbound fan girl. Probably a bigger fan than him from what I got out of the video,

I hope your post disappears into the emptiness of space... where you can be as self-important as you want to be.
