It’s here! It’s here! It’s fina-lully here! After several years of being denied, Nintendo is finally releasing Earthbound on the Virtual Console in North America and Europe. In honor of this, the Operation Rainfall Retro Commercial Research Team (in other words, me) shall present to you commercials for Earthbound in this week’s Retro Wrap-Up…
…is what I would be saying, if Nintendo of America had bothered to make any commercials, aside from this one. So instead, here are the commercials from all three Mother games in this week’s Foreign Wrap-Up.
Here are the highlights from this week.
