EarthBound rated by ESRB -- VC release in the near future?

Reports from around the Internet as well as here on the forums indicate that EarthBound has been given an E-rating for the Wii at this time. Details are still coming in, but on the surface, this means one of two things: either EB is due for an imminent release on the VC, or the big N is tantalizing us yet again (like they did with Shining Force II.) Either way, there's only one option for us: Boundless Optimism Mode GO!

This is the end of my time here, I bid any man or woman who is not against me farewell, that we may meet again in better times. Steam shall be where I may be met by these people.

This is indeed great news! Could the good times finally be on their way!? I'm thinking yes!

This is our first milestone of progress (is that how it should be put?), and it's a sign that we shouldn't give up, now that we know what we're capable of.

YES!!

I'll buy it for all my friends so they can see how awesome it is!!! Spread our cult!

Bah, of all the luck -- our big ESRB announcement is getting preempted by Activision and Vivendi parting ways with the ESA.

Baseball sure is a funny game.

But... but... Earthbound, SimonBob! Earthbound!!

The above post has no value until redeemed at the nonexistent register.

Well, it's exciting to say the least.

Was it rated before or not? Jeffman hinted at an "impending" release earlier.

Regardless what I'll be doing and I suggest for a "PK Buy'n" if this comes to pass: identify as many friends as you can [afford] to find who own a Wii but would not buy Earthbound, but would play it if you gave it to them and gift it. ONE OF US ONE OF US.

I'm happy for two things in this news post.

OMG... OMG... OMG...

I hope EB FINALLY appears on the VC, unlike SMRPG, that stayed on the ESRB database for years and finally was removed.

But... optimism!!

Virtual Mission?

BEST...NEWS....EVER TO WAKE UP TO!!!!!!

YEAAAH!!!! :o

Because…shut up, that’s why.

I'm optomistic. I can't wait to play it in English again. My SNES is in storage, so I haven't been able to play it for a couple years, outside of the GBA port.

This is no Zaku, boy. NO ZAKU!

SonnyBone

WOW. I was thinking we'd never get it so I popped it onto my SD card via the T.H.

I just now got Paula out of the shack... and now I read this.

I guess I'll hold off and play some Seiken Densetsu 3.

GREAT NEWS, INDEED!

Heh, I've never been on top of the new page of my own topic before.

Call Nintendo and thank them if this is true and it comes out. If not... I don't think I can say it on this forums...

PoeTrader

Yeah, I've been planning on sending them a thank-you card since last summer if they ever decided to release it.

I own Leather Sleeves

I'm still a little bit scared because there have been quite a few games that got rated but then were pulled: Dr. Mario, Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG, TMNT II, Uniracers, Wild Gunman, and Zombies Ate my Neighbors. I guess because the big N opted against putting them up (for now)...

So let's just hope Nintendo is serious about EB. And how couldn't they be? It has OVERWHELMING support from the NP poll and the "Smash Bros. popularity bump". They would be crazy to opt out. So here's hoping they stick it up sooner rather than later!
