If You Want EarthBound On VC – Send Nintendo A Postcard

By  • 

Do you like EarthBound? Want to possibly see it on the Virtual Console? Then grab a postcard, write a simple message asking for it, and send it to Japan!

Things look kind of disheartening for fans of EarthBound; the EarthBound demo was stripped from Smash Bros. Brawl, word is NOA doesn’t want to release EarthBound on the Virtual Console, series creator Shigesato Itoi continues to say he won’t make any more games in the series, EarthBound cart prices are getting ridiculous, with loose carts going for $130 and complete sets selling for $300+, sometimes even over $1000. Even the box by itself sells for $80. Interest in the game is high, but it’s getting harder and harder to even play it legally.

Pretty much everyone in the Western gaming world knows EarthBound has a strong following, but it’s Nintendo’s Japanese headquarters (NCL) that pulls the strings and decides what gets released and what doesn’t. If NCL can be persuaded that there’s a demand for EarthBound, maybe there’s still hope for a Virtual Console release. It wouldn’t be difficult for NCL to make changes to the game if necessary; it’d only take an hour or two and a few changed bytes.

IUM – The Next Generation Flash Drive – Works With The Wii

By  •  Wii

Simply put, the IUM is the next generation of USB flash drives. Why? Because it provides you with a more efficient, practical and comprehensive solution for transferring your files than traditional USB flash drives. You no longer need to run back and forth between laptops to share files, you don’t need to worry about what previous content may still be on your flash drive before you give it to a friend or colleague, and you don’t need to try to figure out if you have enough capacity available to share all you content. Oh, and by the way, have we told you about its media streaming capabilities? Here are some of the things it can do.

Unlimited File Sharing

Because the IUM allows you to share your entire hard drive as well as any servers, external hard drives or other storage space that your laptop has access to, you can never run out of storage space.

Famitsu: Xenoblade (Wii) Details, Screens

By  •  Wii

– “The world setting, story and other elements have no relation (to past Xeno games). It’s a completely new title.” – Xenoblade director Tetsuya Takahashi
– Takahashi feels that past Monolith titles have focused on events and scenarios, and this development path was a dead end
– Xenoblade started off with the dev team examining the origins of the RPG genre, and creating a game that was simply fun
– Why does this game have ‘Xeno’ in the title? “I wanted to to have some sort of common point with the games I’ve made.”
– “Xeno” has the meaning of “different nature” or “uniqueness”
