EarthBound News

The Boss Fight Books series, for which I wrote the volume on Final Fantasy V, launched its first-ever Humble Bundle today. You can get the entire Boss Fight library, including books on Katamari, Kingdom Hearts, EarthBound, and more, and donate some or all of your payment to the Girls Make Games charity.

Another very cool Xbox One demo at GDC is The Wild At Heart, which is sort of like Pikmin meets EarthBound. I realize that describing a game like that is bordering on irresponsible since it may give people heart attacks. But what else would you call a game about a kid with Pikmin-like pals who root through trash bags?
