Talk:EarthBound

Alternate title
I played EarthBound on the SNES Classic Edition and noticed that it says "Earth Bound: The War Against Giygas!" on the title screen. Worth a mention in the article, perhaps? --85.164.241.158 (talk) 13:48, 29 September 2021 (UTC)


 * @85.164.241.158 No, this is like a bit of info about the game. Not an alternate title. And I think the actual title screen shows bits of the gameplay, with the title "Earthbound" floating above. 100.4.161.76 (talk) 14:14, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * It's called "Earthbound" elsewhere. I'm fine with noting the discrepancy between the title screen/card and, well, how it's spelled everywhere else. As long as it's one line, maybe two. Something like: "Earthbound is typically spelled without a space. Curiously, it is spelled "Earth Bound" on its title screen."

Incorrect Information
In the gameplay section of the article, it is stated that EarthBound uses random encounters, like MOTHER. This is not true, but I'm afraid I might be misunderstanding the use of words here. Anyone have an explanation? Club On a Sub 20 (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the gameplay section straight-up says that EB uses random encounters. I'll try to find a way to rephrase the sentence.

Road to FA
I'm considering potentially taking this article to featured article status in time for the teased, Christmastime Tim Rogers megareview. I'd be checking the ref changes since the 2014 GA review (has it really been a decade...), incorporating the Refideas sources above, and re-writing the section from reliable sources but if there is anything else sticking out that needs addressing before going to FA, wanted to start a thread here. czar 02:46, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Ness Character page
I was looking at the history of the EarthBound page, and I saw that Ness's character page had been deleted and merged with this one. Why was this action taken? He's been featured in more games than one, and I feel that there's sufficient information and content out there for him to have his own page once again. Little Mac has about as much relevance as Ness, and he has his own page. NintenBOUND (talk) 19:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Why was this action taken? See Articles for deletion/Ness (EarthBound) for the discussion history.
 * Little Mac ... has his own page. Every article is judged on its own merits on how it meets the general notability guideline. Also see Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions czar  01:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
