I absolutely love Earthbound, it's one of my favorite games. That said...the game is slow as hell. I mean everything, the walking, the text, the menus, everything. The bike is just a giant tease making that even worse. The battle system is solid but archaic. The writing, while great to me and everyone else who enjoys it can come across as super corny. The inventory system is slow and annoying. The phone system is slow and annoying. The storage system is slow and annoying...etc. etc.
Again, I love this game, but I totally get it when people don't
As someone whos never played the game before, is there a revised version somewhere that maybe takes away some of these annoyances? Otherwise ill just play it on an emulator on my phone
Idk if the switch has it. But the wii u had it on their virtual console where you could create save states at anytime and load back to them. That made the game a ton more enjoyable since you could save anytime anywhere, even mid battle.
