I honestly had no idea that Nintendo even removed HAL Laboratory´s action/adventureRPG “Earthbound” (the game was originaly released back in 1994 for the SNES) from Club Nintendo´s catalogue in USA. But the game is back on the American Club Nintendo page again.

And i actually found out about that thanks to a Spanish “Earthbound” hardcore fan earlier today. Anyhow, this means that you can now download and play “Earthbound” on your Wii U if you´re from North America.

Keep this in mind though:

“This game can be purchased from the Nintendo eShop on Wii U. Until June 30, 2015, Club Nintendo members may redeem Club Nintendo Coins for a download code. Subject to availability.”

So will you guys give “Earthbound” a go today? =)
