![]() ![]() Jack McCloud - ♡ Happily Married ♡ February 10, 2022 Not sure if this is well known yet, I had to really dig for it, but Nintendo is offering the original Nintendo Player's Guide for EarthBound for free if you scan this code! I found it buried in the Nintendo Switch Online button on the home screen! /XkWxZP11N2 Nintendo offered free digital versions with the 2013 Wii U Virtual Console re-release and the Super Nintendo Classic Edition in 2017. It served as both the game manual (back when there was such a thing) and a strategy guide. The document came with copies of Earthbound cartridges when it came out in western countries in 1995. ![]() Users looking around in the Nintendo Online news feed, found on the Nintendo Switch home screen, found a QR code that leads to the PDF. However, with the game's re-release for the Nintendo Online subscription service, it has been pointing a whole new generation of users to the well-designed guide often commended for its artistic style. It has offered a PDF of the original 1995 guide for free online for a few years. Nintendo must see its 135-page player's guide for Earthbound as highly important. It's a piece of nostalgia that many gamers would like to see for other classic games. Players digging around in the service's menus rediscovered Earthbound's complete player's guide, which Nintendo posted as a free PDF online. Why it matters: One highlight of this week's Nintendo Direct is the rerelease of Earthbound and its prequel on Nintendo's subscription service. ![]()
