It's bit crazy for a supposition, but why not lol.

Nintendo, it is SO EASY to get us back on board. Just make the things we have been begging you for.

A new Earthbound or an Earthbound remake would do wonders for you. I would buy a Wii U just for that!

Would be interesting to see a 3D version of Earthbound. 3DS or otherwise. Game is so damn expensive on the SNES. I lost my copy I got when I was younger when the game launched. Parents bought it for my birthday. :/
 
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Trying not to jump to any conclusions but I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't more hype for Nintendo's E3 Direct now.

I'll also say one thing, but take this with the biggest pinch of salt you have ever taken in your life:

According to someone else who has spoken to an Amazon rep, this price was actually given to them by Nintendo.

Now, I had a go and got a very different report (unsurprisingly, I actually got no report. They just said they would email me later). I just thought you guys might want to know, since if true I would have thought that means something is brewing.

It just means that if it is placeholder, it is Nintendo's placeholder, not Amazon's.

I'm thinking Amazon ran a release list into a process and it had Earthbound from the VC in there by accident, it probably just sticks everything up at a placeholder price and date.

But hey, if it's real then I'm there *places crazy coloured Aus money on table*

Against all reason, I have decided to believe it now. Especially since I have never played Earthbound as a poor European and am finally getting it. Since then I can believe anything in regards to this series.

Also, why else would Eartbound all of a sudden be such a big deal to Nintendo? IT MUST BE TRUE!
 
If this is indeed true... It would be so amazing my head would explode. And a megaton (nuclear attack type megaton) indeed.

But it's Nintendo we're talking about here, so... let's just dream :(
 
If this actually means something beyond "a clerk misinterpreted the release list and posted a VC Game as existing for retail" then GODDAMN panic mode nintendo is officially completely unpredictable.

I WOULD BUY A SYSTEM FOR SOMETHING MOTHER RELATED. Seriously, if the wii u had only one game and it was an earthbound remake I would do it.

i'd be excited if it weren't for this tweet: https://twitter.com/itoi_shigesato/status/328922570931986432

zero hype for this.

He has also said this in the past (Iwata Asks):

ITOI: The feeling of, “I want a MOTHER 4 to be released!” is inside me, too. Even if it’s not something I need to do, I still feel that way. Still, there isn’t someone for me to watch over from afar anymore. If there were a fourth game, I’d want to be the player.

NAGATA: In other words, you wouldn’t mind if someone other than yourself made it?

ITOI: Right.

Sounds to me that he wants the game to be made, but he doesn't want to do any work, rather that he wants to experience the game as the player. The way everyone else got to play it when he was making them.
