| Description: |
The first of the beloved Earthbound trilogy, which sadly never saw a release outside of Japan in physical format. An English prototype was found in 1998 and ROM hacking group Neo Demiforce released it to the public with "Zero" suffixed to the title, so for many years this was known as "Earthbound Zero". Finally Nintendo gave it an official release but only in digital format for the Wii Virtual Console in 2015 as "Earthbound Beginnings". The name "Beginnings" is so much better. Never before by anyone has this been released in physical format as "Earthbound Beginnings". This is the first time ever! DRASTICALLY reduced the frequency of random enemy encounters to make the game play experience A LOT more enjoyable. This is a common criticism of the original game, so don't yell at us for altering the original work and just thank us. Ok good. Areas like Duncan's Factory with the huge walkable rooms and repeating pattern backgrounds where it's so easy to get lost especially after each random encounter finally become bearable. You can explore each corner and crevice of the large outside world without having to spend your entire lifetime doing it. The amount of experience and money you get from each battle is increased to maintain even flow. Text speeds have been increased. Graphics have been updated and improved. Goofy enemies are goofier and creepy enemies are creepier! We think you'll love the updated Ninten, Lloyd, Ana, and Teddy sprites which look better than ever! ~1400 lines of text have been updated to better reflect a modern setting and create sensible connections to other parts of the series. These changes are based off the work of DragonDePlatino which was completed in 2014, so full credit to him for that. Additional changes and improvements have been made throughout. This truly is the best possible way to experience the original Earthbound. |
