It’s turning out to be a very good year for EarthBound fans. And really, when is the last time fans of the SNES masterpiece could say that? Back in 1999 when Ness returned as a Super Smash Brother? But 2013 has been quite different. Earlier this summer, fans were treated to the long awaited debut of EarthBound on the Virtual Console. Today, we have an announcement that Marcus Lindblom, Translation Director/English writer on the game, is starting a Kickstarter campaign to fund a behind-the-scenes book on the cult classic.
The book’s tentative title is EarthBound Confidential. While we’ve seen some Kickstarter projects struggle to meet their goals as of late, this one may be a bit safer based purely on the enthusiasm of the fanbase alone. If the Kickstarter does reach its goal, fans can even buy the title as an e-book, a softcover or a hardcover, so no matter how you enjoy your reading, you’re covered.
For more details about the book and Kickstarter campaign, keep an eye on Carried Away Games’ Twitter and Facebook pages, not to mention right here on Nintendojo!
