force Nintendo of America to re-release EarthBound on the Wii U Virtual Console.

Created by M.S. on February 02, 2013

In 1995, a Super Nintendo game named EarthBound was released in America. It was the sequel to the Japanese game Mother, which the US didn't recieve. It was re-released for the Game Boy Advance. We didn't get it. A sequel was released. We didn't get it. The game devoloped a cult following, while in America, Nintendo refused to listen to their pleas. The game is currently so rare, it costs 200$ to play it legally. And now, Japan is getting a re-release on the Wii U Virtual Console in March for just 30 Yen, while we get Punch-Out. This should constitute as Cruel and Unsual Punishment, and Nintendo of America should be forced to re-release EarthBound on the Wii U Virtual Console.
