So glad I was finally able to play this. Overall, this is a fantastic game with world-class writing, but it's held back a bit by a patently absurd amount of backtracking and vague progression. Either way, this was my favorite Mario RPG to date

I first played this when I was a kid, but I don't think I ever progressed further than Onett, because I only have vague memories of fighting snakes, crows, and dogs. After hearing about it for years, I recently decided that I'd finally play EarthBound for real. Playing through this for the first time and using the Player's Guide was the closest thing I've had to an ethereal video game experience in years. This game deserves every ounce of praise it's ever gotten. I get it now.

an embarrassing collection comprising two of the best gamess ever made. if you have a copy of this laying around, use it to play fetch with your dog. 1 star because they didn't change ALL of the music

two bonus stars for having my favorite cover art of all time

actually pretty fun, but it loses a star because i can't support 2K's business practices in good conscience

updated review: this game is basically perfect
