EarthBound is an incredible game, but it's also become a very expensive one. Use the info on this page to make sure you're not getting ripped off - you can save hundreds of dollars if you know what you're doing!

Below are the current average prices for single EarthBound cartridges, complete EarthBound sets, and the EarthBound Player's Guide. I update these by hand monthly by checking all the successful listings on eBay over the past 30 days (in other words, only the copies that actually sold) and then averaging their prices.

Tips for Buying EarthBound

There are a few things you should know when looking for a copy of EarthBound - keep these tips in mind during your search.

Note: EarthBound is now officially available on the Wii U and New 3DS Virtual Consoles! (note: EarthBound is not available the standard 3DS Virtual Console, however.) If you're just wanting to play the game but don't necessarily care about owning the original Super NES version, save your money!

Note 2: EarthBound is now available as part of the Super NES Mini. It offers a much more affordable way to play the game, but watch out for scalpers trying to sell it for hundreds of dollars.
