Earthbound Coming To N. American Virtual Consoles

LINK!

Originally released in 1995, Earthbound became a cult classic over the years, beloved for its bizarre humor and trippy aesthetics. But Nintendo hasn't shown it much love in North America: the sequel, Mother 3, never made it out of Japan, although an English fan translation is floating around on the web. (The first game in the series, Mother, also never left the East.)

So a re-release of Earthbound is certainly welcome news. Perhaps we'll see more of the Mother series in America soon? Maybe? One day?
