I believe the tournament is over now. They even showed off a new Mario game (Mario maker) at the very end. I just hope Fred Savage and friends made it in time.
It's good news they released an unreleased game after all this time (I say unreleased, but it was fully translated and everything). I believe this is the exact same ROM as the original, so the title screen in-game probably just says "Earthbound" and it's only the icon for starting the game and the in-store description that call it Earthbound Beginnings. The same thing happened when they finally put the original Super Mario Bros. 2 on the VC. They called it Lost Levels even though the title screen still said Super Mario Bros. 2.
Now, we just need to wait for Mother 3. That's a far more difficult task though, as Mother 3 never got an official translation.

"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)
