It's Nintendo so........ no.

It was never released in America so your best luck is with a GBA emulator and a translated patch of the game.

It's not as funny as Earthbound, but it's worth playing just for the dog-like dude.

I don't think it was meant to be, I haven't played it but I hear it's much darker in tone.

It's the most depressing video game I've ever played. Spoilers will only prevent you from crying, and I recommend going into it blind. Oddly enough, it still keeps the laid-back tone of its predecessor and despite its subject matter and bold storytelling scope, it never once takes itself too seriously. There's humor all over the place and a lot of the quirkiness that the Mother series is known for. It's just still an overwhelmingly depressing game. It's almost like the way "Up" managed to combine the lighthearted adventure scenes and Dug moments with the Ellie scenes.

I played it on a DSTWO flashcart and a patched ROM. It's pretty much the only flashcart with a GBA emulator and it also has SNES, NES, GBC, and DS emulators. I'd play it on my computer, but I hate not having actual buttons when I play games. It takes away from the experience. I'd tell you exactly where to get everything, but I don't know if giving away that kind of information is allowed on this forum.

Good call. Could you pm me about it? Your description has got me very interested.

Sure! I also just bought a SNES controller and an SNES/GC adapter so I can play Earthbound on my Wii with a real SNES controller. It just doesn't feel right with my Gamecube controller.

So yeah, I don't expect to garner any money from you guys (And this is definitely not a money beg) but I recently got involved in an indie fighting game project and we've just launched a Kickstarter page. I figure I'd share it with you guys. The project started as something inspired by Skullgirls, but we're trying to make something more western, and less anime, while still abiding to the competitive fighting game genre, so it's set in a steam punked 19th century England. It's called GildenTide.

So if anyone's interested in fighting games, check us out:

Sounds interesting!

I'm in the middle of Final Fantasy VI Advance right now and it's epic. It's even better with the sound/visual patch, which makes it look and sound more like the SNES version, which works well with my 3DS flashcart because it's not held to the Game Boy Advances's restrictions. This game is so epic. It's rare for me to get so attached to one or two characters, let alone 14.

Has anyone played Skyward Sword? I'm going to steal my sister's Wii and rent the game, hopefully beat it rather quickly (I beat OoT in 3 days after release, so I have a history with plowing through LoZ games).

It may have the best gameplay of any game ever made.
