Reviews

A good middle ground	Bobolicious81	2024-04-12	Version 2.0
The original retail release of EarthBound was a shining example of localization done right. However, it wasn't without its own (minor) issues. This hack goes in with a light touch and tidies up the few instances of typos, errors, and inconsistencies (Pokey-Porky, etc) while keeping the "EarthBound" title and 90's censorship intact (so yes, Ness is wearing pajamas in Magicant) Use this patch if you want a polished, official-looking EarthBound that fits nicely with the rest of the series but doesn't quite go full "Mother 2." Oh, and another reviewer mentioned a bug where PK Rockin is called "SI Rockin," but that's not unique to this hack. It happens because the original game doesn't just save the name of your ability, it saves the PSI or PK prefix as well. A new game will not encounter this, but an existing save file from another version of EarthBound with the ability already learned might. I hope that helps!

Good hack, but has a bug	PhantomOfficial	2022-05-04	Version 2.0
I love it and it's almost perfect. but there's this weird bug where PK Rockin is called "SI Rockin". I assume this is a mistake but it's just weird. Anyway the hack itself is pretty good, the Porky name change is always nice, and Starman Junior's sprite works.
