wii u finally has earthbound. that is as of recently the solo reason I even wanted a wii u.

Is there any website that you can use to search/look up a games rarity? Or info on repease versions?

Hey guys. I just got my hands on this little gem. You might not recognize it and I know not many have played it because it's super rare, but I'm telling you it's awesome. Earthbound, or Mother as we used to call it, fills me with 8-bit nostalgia from my childhood. I love obscure old-school games!

Good deals general? I met this African guy online, and he offered me one million Zimbabwe dollars for my copy of Earthbound. Of course I took him up on his offer. People are fucking desperate to get that game I tell you

Hey /vr/. I have been wanting to play snes games for a while now (was born in 94 so never got the chance as a kid) and I was wondering, what is the cheapest handheld emulator that can play SNES games properly?

About to splurge for $190.00, convince me why I shouldn't buy.

I have something I must ask. (Don't know if I'm in the wrong forum, if so I apologize) I am only 16, so I don't have a lot of cash on me at any given moment. If ANYONE here can be the greatest human of all time and offer up a cheap-ish copy of Earthbound. Please, and thank you.

The only reason people know this piece of shit exists is because of SSB

I tried to buy Earthbound used a couple of years ago, I think you can still get it for under 25 bucks anon.

We were always a generation or two behind.

Going from Super Nintendo to PS2.

Man, that was something.

Even though everyone and their mothers get know about Giygas, I still got a little freaked out when I got to him because I wasn't sure when I was supposed to start praying. So I just had Paula pray always, and it actually saved my ass. Still came down to the wire though.

Unfortunately, I can't like it for what it is. I have to like it for what the internet thinks it is, else I'm a hater or a troll.

Regardless, the entire world suddenly likes it, so I guess it fits with the thread's theme.

Is EarthBound really a rare game like everyone claims?

Like how much does it worth? Catridge only? Full?

Is anyone selling Earthbound at an actually reasonable price?

this piece of shit, and a lot of motherfucker who build the fucking artificial hype.

Although I liked the sequel more, this is still my favorite SNES game.

This, Pokemon Red, and Mega Man X

Retro store story time.
>Driving around and notice a used video game store i havent been to before
>Start browsing the shelfs, gf notices pocky&rocky and lets me know
>Pretty good find, great price. I decide to get it
>They notice that it is a little more rare than other popular sales
>"Since you're into rarer games, you should have been here a couple days ago. We sold a Earthbound!"
>"Thats a pretty good find! (ive seen it quite a bit every other store now for $80-100) How much was it?
>"Oh we sold it for $250
>$250
>i asked if they had it in box
>There was no box.
How the fuck is someone stupid enough to spend fucking 150 more dollars than a game is worth?
If someone is going to buy used games, odds are they know the average price for certain games, specially the rare ones.
But 250? What the actual Fuck

But there's value, and then there's ridiculous inflation. Pic highly related.

I know you guys get real sick of the hype on EarthBound, however, I'm just curious on how/how much did you get your cart for. Is it worth the 200 tag? Stories of acquiring a plus.
