  Earthbound-How long does it take to reach Earth?

  After reading so many forums and top lists of most wanted games, I still see Earthbound as ranking in the top five, and I still can't understand to this day why there hasn't been a new game or adaptation of this title. The SNES witnessed the only version in the U.S and quickly became a cult hit creating a huge demand for this gem to this day. There have been Earthbound games in Japan that released on the Famicom and the Gameboy Advance, and the U.S. is yet to see any of those. Somehow every time I pick up a Nintendo Power Magazine, I read Earthbound as the readers top most wanted game to be added into the Wii's Virtual Console. I really wish someone would do something soon because I'm tired of finding a decent copy on Ebay for over $200 for the game, box, and guide. I'm either thinking that the creator of the series doesn't want to make any adaptations of the older versions or the original development team doesn't exist any more. Or is it a money issue? Do the developers think that the game won't sell as well because cult hits normally don't set record numbers, or because the RPG market only appealing to certain gamers? I don't know what it is but I do know that Final Fantasy VII was finally put on the Playstation Network for download at only $10!When will Earthbound ever reach Earth?
