As if we would forget to mention Earthbound if we knew about it...

If it weren’t enough to be awoken by angry comments and tweets that our Virtual Console update didn’t feature quite arguably Nintendo’s biggest digital release of the year, we’re happy to confirm that Earthbound is now available to download from the Nintendo eShop.

 

The game is priced a little bit higher than other SNES titles, at $13.00, however Nintendo have also provided the official players guide online for your own perusal, and best of all, for free!

Now yours, for free!

So, how do you feel about all this? Should Nintendo have dropped the game with some notice? Should the price be lower? Or should we just deal with all these things and instead just be thankful we’re getting Earthbound?

Let us know in the comments.
