What would you say is the film equivalent of picrel? I have some thoughts
yfw I was the first to rent this and got to keep the strategy guide and the smelly cards it came with

Let's see. A deconstruction and homage of a genre elevated beyond the sum of its parts by a passionate auteur. Unfortunately copied by many but matched by none. Is still a masterpiece by today's standard. Naked Gun?t. Indie rpg hater
>>217786261I got my copy of the game on the SNES mini console.
It's UHF
There's no film analogue. Earthbound is only notable because it's one of a handful of video games (toys) that tried to elevate itself to art. It failed btw. But there are lots and lots of genuine art films. There are no successful art video games.

>>217786509It's really not. The most "artistic" games are just good movies stapled onto gameplay which doesn't add anything ie Silent Hill 2.
They have to be comparable. I say that Link To The Past is the Citizen Kane of video games because>highly acclaimed as the greatest ever>outdone by countless other works since>old/clunky and overrated in hindsightEarthbound is>charming, entertaining, and full of fantastic music>lukewarm response/modest success on release but later seen as a timeless classic>spawned many imitators which were all much worse (and even a sequel that isn't as good)So the equivalent can only be Space Jam
>>217786093That's a very good question. Heavens GateVideodromeJoe's Apartment
Always wanted them to make some sort of MMO of earthbound
>>217786261Supply and demand, mate.I just found a boxed NES game in my cupboard and looked it up, it goes for $1300au on ebay. (it's Gargoyles Quest 2 PAL).
>>217786509NTA, nah, that was a sincere post, and he's right.
The Dark Crystal
So a movie with a very quirky, but uncynical style. Perhaps touches on somewhat darker themes even if only slightly brushing up on them (If you think earthbound is seriously dark watch more than just disney movies or something) but still stays as a light adventure. Perhaps has some space related stuff. Have some abstract stuff here and there. Be very cartoony. Americana. I'd assume these are some of specific things OP is looking for but we've got people saying 'lord of the rings'. Any ideas anyone? I'm trying to think but there's not much I can think of at the moment
I would watch an Earthbound movie made by Wes Anderson
>>217786093Maybe The Sandlot?
A movie everyone pretends they love and is the best movie in the world... but they've not actually watched?Probably a space odyssey or something.
Scott Pilgrim Vs the World.
