For his 10th 16-Bit Gem, Roo celebrates by taking a thorough look at the history of perhaps the most overlooked video game series of all time. He'll explore the twists and turns of how a poor-selling, quirky Japanese RPG gained a massive following - culminating in perhaps the most devoted video game fanbase on the internet. Be sure to also look for our next episode, which will be a review of EarthBound itself. For now, enjoy the in-depth story of the EarthBound series.

Ugh. Typical stupid, dim wit, out of touch 90's douchebag exec types that thought everything can appeal to kids and teens with gross-out garbage.

I know this is kinda late but,

the ds would never be able to support all three earthbound games, it doesn't have enough memory storage.

the 3ds, however would be able to, cause it has a lot more storage.

I'm more curious as to who was in charge of the magazine claiming that quote "This game stinks". That person should've been arrested/shot in the head for giving false advertisement on Nintendo Power.
