EarthBound Syndrome
This happens when someone becomes a total idiot over a game that no one even knew about, until it came back in a new game and suddenly they’re the most popular person in the room.
My mom got obsessed with the original Pokémon game after it showed up in a new game. Now she wears a hat that says ‘Pikachu’ and yells ‘Let’s go, Pikachu!’ at every delivery person.
My neighbor became a total fool over the old Sonic games because they came up in a new game. Now he runs around screaming ‘Sonic boost!’ and throws pizza boxes at people.
My sister turned into a complete lunatic over the old Super Mario game because it showed up in a new game. Now she wears a shirt that says ‘I choose you’ and yells at my dog every day.
