Why EarthBound may never come to the Virtual Conosle

EarthBound fan-site, Starmen.net, reveals that the ESRB rating was a mistake and also takes a look at the history of their attempts to get EarthBound onto Nintendo’s Virtual Console.

Early in the summer of 2007 Starmen.Net received an unsolicited message:

“EB on VC in July.”

There wasn’t much else to the message. We were skeptical at first — EarthBound fans have endured more ill-fated rumors, delays, false starts, cancellations and disappointments than probably any other fanbase in gaming history, so we approach everything with a healthy skepticism. Like, 0% body fat skepticism.

    I figured as much, but I usually tried to be optimistic.
