| via Starmen.net.
This explains its removal from Brawl, among other things.... but even then, it's complete and utter bullshit. |

| Didn't Mother 3 get a full fan translation anyway? What does it really matter at this point? |

| I really don't know if I buy that explanation.
I mean, first off... how can the ESRB make an INTERNAL MISTAKE?!? Obviously at some point Nintendo had to submit the title to them, they're not just going to pull games out of their ass and rate them. I also think that if Nintendo was going to get sued for some of the references in the game, it would have happened back in 1995. ____________________ Colin's Babble... er, blog.  |

| If I had to guess, a mistake could have occurred as a result of Brawl. Recall that Brawl JP had Earthbound in it, while the US one didn't; if the ESRB was sent an earlier version of Brawl US before EB was removed, the rating could have been based on that rather than the game as released.
And... umm... Earthbound was a relatively low-profile release back in 1995. I'm not sure anyone would have bothered with lawsuits for a game that wasn't... well... Mortal Kombat. Considering that Melee was enough to push Fire Emblem into being released in the US, the combination of 64/Melee/Brawl may have been enough to make Earthbound noticed well enough to invite lawsuits. |

| Well, not only that, but it was pretty much a commercial failure over here, not just a quiet release. The SSB series may indeed have propelled it into a high enough popularity to get itself targeted. ____________________ |

| Earthbound sold around 140,000 in the US (440,000 overall). Chrono Trigger sold roughly 290,000 in the US (2.65 million overall).
Unfortunately, the official sources (S-E pamphlets, etc.) don't separate CT SNES from CT PSX, so it's liable to be a bit lower on both sides. VG Chartz lists the SNES version at 280,000 US/2.31 million total, but it also lists Earthbound as 800,000 in Japan (with nothing on the US release). The EB sales were grabbed from here. |

Originally posted by Skreeny I imagine that's really skewed, since CT PSX came with FFVI, which many consider to be the best FF game. |

| Actually, it was packed with FFIV.
FFVI was with FFV, at least in the US. I think the Japanese releases were separate, not sure about Europe. |
