I started writing a long post on this game.Too long.I might go back and finish it and publish it later. Like in a few months or years. (Seriously, no guarantees I'll go back.)

There is a ton of stuff I want to eventually say about this game.

But for now all I can say is:

  • This game is incredible. It's just so crazy and original. A genre of it's own.
  • The inventory system and everything related to that sucks. I feel like half the time I spent playing the game was spent doing inventory.
  • The graphics are super cute and I like them a lot. They hold up very well today.
  • The battle backgrounds are amazing, and remind me of homebrew demos
  • The final battle is probably my favourite final battle of any game ever? It was quite amazing, and touching.

It is not my favourite game of all time. But at least top 20 probably. Favourite SNES game? Right now: sure! Later on: potentially.

Overall, a cult classic.

Oh, and getting Homesick is annoying, but super cute.

Here are some photos I took of my TV while playing Earthbound:

Cute Ness

I love Ness' little smile on his face

Grind Session

After I had grinded for the Sword of Kings for a while

Ending

Yeah my name is George Costanza. I wonder how many others have used this name? Seinfeld was very popular in 94/95 (the game wasn't though).

So this will have to do until I do my longer post about Earthbound. If I ever...
