EarthBound Beginnings

[E-Man]

I'm honestly surprised Nintendo is doing this after all the times it was emulated stateside. They could probably just not bother with it due to the frustration of this game being played illegally over the years (even thought the same could be said about Earthbound), but seeing them throw a bone like this is really big.

Considering that Nintendo is taking more steps to cater to their fans, I'm wondering what other tricks they have in store for their fans (besides the almost inevitable release of Mother 3, of course). You think they might also take certain fan projects into account if this keeps up?
