===Virtual Console re-releases===
On March 20, 2013, ''EarthBound'' was re-released in Japan for the Wii U Virtual Console, and on July 18 of the same year in North America and Europe. During the Nintendo Direct announcing ''EarthBound'''s approval for the Wii U Virtual Console, Satoru Iwata mentioned the fan outcry being one of the reasons. The re-release was highly publicized, with [[Shigesato Itoi]] himself doing a live stream of playing the game. The game received some minor edits from the original SNES release: a line of text by [[Lardna Minch]] and another in [[Burglin Park]] were slightly tweaked in Japan. In all versions several [[PSI]] animations were altered to reduce the risk of seizures.

In all versions, the animations for [[PSI Fire]] Ω, [[PSI Flash]] Ω, [[PSI Rockin]] γ, [[Brainshock]] Ω, the [[Shield killer]], and both [[PSI Starstorm]] α and Ω were altered to reduce the flashing.


Furthermore, in March of 2016, ''EarthBound'' was re-released again in all three regions for the New Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console service.

The game appeared in the North American and European variants. This version does not contain the changes made to the aforementioned animations with bright flashes as the Wii U version did. Instead, to blur out the flashes the game uses the system's built in anti-seizure filter, which automatically creates an "after image" effect whenever it detects rapid bright flashes.


Along with its [[EarthBound Beginnings|prequel]], ''EarthBound'' was added to the [[Nintendo Switch]] Online service on February 9th, 2022.
