It may have taken an extra decade to make, but I'm pretty sure we lucked out in the end by getting charming, cartoony spirtes rather than blocky N64 graphics.

Besides, Nintendo still wouldn't have released it over here.

It was kind of hinted in EB 64 that Pokey murdered Nes in his acsent to near Godhood. Onett is shown as a blasted out ruin.

If I were to come into wealth, I would put much effort into acquiring any device they might have retained with the code for this game, just so I could film myself burning it and uploading the footage to Youtube while laughing at Earthbound fags everywhere.

I still would have liked to have played this. Seeing the campfire scene there in 3d gave me goosebumps.
