![]() Earthbound stood out a mile from its contemporaries, but for all of the wrong reasons, and sold poorly. ![]() In retrospect, though, its hard to blame Nintendo for its wariness someone had made the questionable decision to over-exaggerate the cruder aspects of the games humour as part of Earthbounds marketing campaign, leaving reviewers and gamers alone baffled by NES-quality visuals and vomit gags in an RPG landscape that had just seen the release of beautiful, sophisticated Chrono Trigger. The novelty, that is, of being able to legitimately sample a title that Americans were able to physically unwrap way back in 1995 thats a localisation delay of eighteen years, which is a leisurely amble even by Nintendos standards. Its been slightly over a year now since Earthbound finally found its way to European shores, albeit as a download for the Wii Us Virtual Console, and thats enough time for the novelty to have worn away.
