Both games share similar premises (even though the Famicom release didn't have as much obsurdities as its SNES successor and was similarly deprived of certain major components like Porky and the Mr Saturn) and link well to one another, so I won't get angry if we somehow end up with Mother 1 first.

Havent you wondered what if the 'Earthbound' game rated by the ESRB were actually the Famicom version being imported? (If you remember that was also the name of the Famicom game for America before it got canceled, which would be the same case of SMB the lost levels, which was released under its american SNES name) Personally I would prefer the Famicom game being imported, since its cheaper and easier to get the SNES version original cart, even boxed than the Famicom one (which, on top of that could be translated to english, and even if you got the Famicom cart it would be in japanese) or than the beta NES Earthbound ocasionally found on ebay.

But why are we going in the random direction of "drakes" all of a sudden anyway?

I forgot about the Pokemon one. I wouldn't have known the others.

And thats the secret boss character in Final Fight 3 on the SNES. Anybody know of any more?

I thought those were rated too.

Glad its turned out to be the Turbographx version.

So we have smrpg and earthbound... but no N64 games :(
Also, don't get your hopes up everyone, rondo of blood has been rated for ages and hasn't appeared yet. I agree with faxanadu, me thinks the next hanabi week will be totally awesome. But really, if you check the coming soon section of the games list for the games that have been rated, if we get rondo and smrpg and earthbound (and last ninja 3 + strider!!!), there will be nothing left to look forward to (well... at least nothing for me to look forward to :P). Theres like 1 n64 game on there... i think the vc might slow down for a while :(

PS o0o0o0o Diablo 3!!!

I think we´ll have to wait at least ´till next year for it.

US gets some interesting Neo Geo titles, and Earthbound is sure to make me jealous :)

If that actually DOES happen, then that makes it another stimulating reason to move to America.

Also I want to know why the ESRB took off their rating for smrpg, it really sucks that they did that. Here is to earthbound and star parodier not getting their rating taken away just like smrpg!

You got that right. Sure, we could look at the Australian releases (since they usually get the same stuff as us minus the C64 titles) but even so there's nothing that's interested me as a gamer there (though things could change if I do my homework on a select few when they release).

I appreciate the feature though, so this can be good to take a good peak at what can potentially arrive to the VC in the coming weeks.
