Since the first time I rented it from Blockbuster like ten years ago, I have loved Earthbound for the SNES. It's this indescribable feeling, a story about a boy who leaves home because it's his destiny to save the world. The idea of "leaving home" really pulls at my heart a certain way. It's a reality most everyone has to face sooner or later in our lives. But it's knowing you have a home to come back to that makes a person happy regardless of how bad things get. That's the feeling it gives me. Being homesick. It's the reason that despite its weirdness, despite the fact that everything in the game is completely random, it still chokes me up a little. This is a flash animation someone in Japan made, altered into English, that sums up the way this game makes me feel.
It's a little funny. The Super Nintendo probably has the most games that really moved me emotionally growing up. To this day I don't really get that feeling as much anymore.
