Earthbound is one of those games, i.e. games that everyone talks about as one of the greatest of all time, but not that many people have actually played. It sold very badly in the west, with a very 90s marketing campaign proclaiming “this game stinks” and with a strange twist on the JRPG formula, it took a few years for it to get to the heights it now exists in.
Over the years, more and more people have played it. It came to the Wii U virtual console in 2013 and is now on the Switch’s equivalent via a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. It’s time then, for people who say they like Earthbound but have never played it to actually give it a try. If you’re one of those people, then check out our guide to every Earthbound character.
I’m using the original Earthbound player’s guide that Nintendo recently shared with everyone, to learn more about each of the whimsical characters. For more Switch stuff, check out our guide to Nintendo Switch Online N64 games to find your next retro pick.
