Today I woke up to the best news I’ve heard in a very, very long time. EarthBound, my favorite game of all time, is finally coming to the Wii Virtual Console. Today EarthBound was rated by the ESRB with an E rating.
What tells us that it’s coming to the VC is that it’s listed under Wii. Since the creator of the series told us that there won’t be any more original games in the franchise, this can only mean that the SNES RPG will be hitting the VC.
We don’t know when it’s coming but now we definitely know it is coming and that’s better than nothing. The good news is that newly rated VC games usually hit the service quickly after it’s rated so we may see this gem sooner than we think.
If you would like to see the rating for yourself, head over to the ESRB website and type "EarthBound" into the search form.
