Title: NES Earthbound, Is This a Thing? Post by: Adillis on July 16, 2015, 06:26:10 PM So, my NES knowledge is lacking quite a bit as I mostly focus on SNES and N64, but while searching ebay for the going rates of Earthbound for the SNES I see a listing pop up that is claiming to be a US released NES cart of Earthbound (Not Mother). I didn't think the US got anything in that series until the the SNES. Can someone help enlighten me a bit? All the searching I've done on google just shows a bunch of fan made translations and repro carts, so I'm thinking that's what this is and not an official release. Link below of the auction in question.

Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on July 16, 2015, 06:53:19 PM That is a well-known reproduction cart. The only known version of Earthbound for NES was a review copy prototype that was never put into production. It's often referred to as Earthbound Zero.
Quote An English localization began immediately, with firm plans for a September 1991 release. An 80-page instruction manual/player's guide was produced. The game's odd soundtrack, orchestrated and performed by Suzuki and a band of unknown British singers, was prepped for release. Things… worked out a little differently. http://starmen.net/mother1/ Title: Re: NES Earthbound, Is This a Thing?
