Tardism on ebay is hitting epidemic numbers. I found this guy selling cds for multi-system emulation. Not to worry I contacted Nintendo about this before posting here. If you want to see you might want to hurry.ebay Go get'em Nintendo!

The Big N is pretty good at policing eBay and other online auctions for pirated and bootleg merchandise. I remember, back in the day, when those Mother/EarthBound 0 NES flash cartridges first started appearing. Three or four auctions would begin, and in less than twenty-four hours, they'd be mysteriously cancelled. :lol:

Speaking of which, will Nintendo Of America ever bring over Mother 1+2 for an English release? At this rate, probably not. :(

I bought the Japanese release for a jacked up price, so it probably will, just to spite me.

Honestly, no that would be way too good to be true. I would love for everybody to be able to play Earthbound 0 on GBA in english as I have (flash card). And I would love to play an official release. Not quite as bad as these ebay retards though, as it's not for profit, just my own enjoyment.
