I do think the presentation of the original is so much better, but this one still gets the job done. If it had to be remade I don’t think it looks all that bad.
This game is super solid in about every regard. Didn’t capture me as much as everyone else, but it’s really charming and unique. Check it out and see if it’s your thing.
My favorite game of all time. I had a bunch of money saved up from mowing lawns and decided I wanted to play something I’d never played before. So, I bought earthbound for about $150 and it means so much to me. I love everything about this game to this day.
