Earthbound's older estranged brother that the family doesn't like inviting to Thanksgiving dinner. Played this in college after its sequel released on the Wii U so its age really showed. I mean honestly, I don't even have much to say about it specifically beyond most everything it does having been done better down the line. Pretty certain I played with an easy ring modded in to avoid the infamous grind of monotonously vicious enemies.
