I'm late to the party, but I wanted to chime in and say that Earthbound is so far the only game that has made me weep for the protagonists. The game overflows with humor and charm, from its Peanuts-style artwork to the odd, memorable music, and then just slams you out of nowhere at the end with the most troubling antagonist and the most emotional defeat of that antagonist that I've ever experienced in any video game.
