It’s a pretty weird rationale, I realize, but Earthbound’s potential Wii release might actually be the thing that gets me to blow my Economic Stimulus Package. And that’s a pretty serious statement, especially given
1) the assertion made by other members of this site that Mario Kart Wii is better than electricity;
2) Smash Brawl’s continual presence in everyone’s life;
3) the shitstorm and subsequent adorableness of the Okami box art mistake;
4) the promise of continually being exposed to games with titles like Opoona…
So I don’t know what it pegs me as to be more excited about Earthbound than about any of those other things. Niche gamer? Nostalgia fetishist? Big fucking nerd? Whatever!!!

Man that watermark is like a magic eye for me - I see NOTHING!
I would also like to second the giddy fear that my stimulus is going to get spent so hard on a product that helps the Nikkei a hell of a lot more than Wall Street - oops, sorry America!
