EarthBound re-release hasn’t been held up by music licencing issues

The wait for a re-release of EarthBound has been agonizing. For years fans begged for the game overseas, but Nintendo never delivered… until this week. During the latest Nintendo Direct, the Big N announced that EarthBound would be made available on the Wii U’s Virtual Console.

Why has it taken so long for Nintendo to follow through on fan requests? Was it related to licencing issues with the game’s music, which has long been speculated?

Not so, says Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen, who told Kotaku: “Not that I’m aware of.” Trinen added that “they’re taking the original game and putting it on Wii U,” meaning the full soundtrack will be in place.

Trinen discussed the move to bring out EarthBound in North America and Europe once again with Kotaku:

“It just seems like there’s a lot of Earthbound supporters inside of Nintendo and inside of Nintendo of America, and there’s been a real big desire to try to bring this back for people that have been longing for it for a very long time. And so, we’re just really happy that we’ve been able to do it. And we’re gonna do it on Wii U, where it’ll… because it’s gonna be a Virtual Console game, it’ll have its own Earthbound Miiverse community. Which is gonna be, I think, spectacular.”
