They showed some of the art and explained the gameplay, and slowly became Pokemon Report as the writer became slowly obsessed with the game and pointed out all the cool toys an the card game.

>Earthbound's still betterI have tried playing Earthbound a couple times on emus and then the VC, and also picked up Earthbound Zero and tryed that. I just cannot get into the series.
