Massively reduced demand for the next XBox has caused a lot of people to start picking up the Wii U, though that may have been a very short lived burst of sales.
Anyway, I have one tidbit. The Player's Guide for Earthbound available for download from Nintendo appears completely unaltered. This is great, except for one bit of bad intel the guide has. You can't get a Gutsy bat from a Kraken! The odds were pretty terrible to begin with, but that particular enemy doesn't drop it. The enemy that actually drops the item is the Bionic Kraken. This was reverse engineered from the game's own code, so there ya go. Otherwise, the guide is very accurate.

I'm hoping to help any perfectionists among you from wasting time looking for this item in the wrong place.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
