Much like the Chrono Trigger marriage proposal from 2008, Matt modified a copy of Earthbound in order to ask his new fiancé, Liz, to marry him during the “EarthBound Fanfest.” It’s pretty sweet – The dog was there to celebrate as well!

Art Academy for Nintendo DS Gives Adults and Kids a Way to Get Creative Every Day
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– If you’ve ever wished for a little more creative spark in your life, you’re not alone. A new survey conducted by Wakefield Research for Nintendo indicates that 81 percent of adults wish they were more creative. While making time for creative pursuits can be difficult for working adults and students alike, Nintendo has offered a unique solution with the recent launch of the Art Academy™ software for the Nintendo DS™ family of hand-held systems. This new portable software offers a convenient way for people from all walks of life to satisfy their creative appetites, featuring fun and interactive drawing and painting lessons that can be applied to real-world art materials and a Free Paint mode that lets you create art whenever inspiration strikes.
It’s no secret that creativity enhances the human experience. The findings of the Wakefield study point not only to the strength of people’s creative impulses, but also to the value they place on creativity in the world at large. Nearly 80 percent of respondents believe that creativity is one of the rarest skills in the workplace, while more than two-thirds of surveyed parents said they would rather have their children be creative than athletic.
