Manufacturer description
This is an original, official copy of Earthbound on the SNES. Tested to make sure save files could be made with no issue. The guide has noticable wear and the back of it has a slight coffee stain. This only effects the back, not the front, and not any of the inner pages.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Nintendo EarthBound SNES Game Cartridge & Player's Guide using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the games & cartridges category. Nintendo's games & cartridges lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for games & cartridges of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
