I put money towards the KS, but when that failed, I took my money elsewhere. For a game on an older console, I went with Watermelon's Paprium instead. That at least I know runs at a good frame rate. Watermelon makes some top notch shit, and it really shows with Paprium.

Hmm..At Play Asia the Japanese ver. is sold out/unavailable from yesterday; before the release date. I was going to try and snag this. But, it looks like the North American version will be the way to go for me. Does anyone know any legit shops still offering the JP ver?

Sup kronos. The primary seller won't ship to the usa, but there's a couple other sellers offering the japanese version on amazon jp who may be willing to ship:

Like lots of people, I was really interested in this when it was first announced. At first I thought it was a bit obscure to choose the Super Famicom as the platform of choice when the Dreamcast, or maybe even the Saturn, would have been better picks.
Nevertheless, if you've ever played or seen Gundam Wing: Endless Duel on the SFC, you'll know that the SFC can handle big bold sprites well in a one-on-one beat 'em up.
This looks nothing like Endless Duel in terms of quality. It looks slow and jerky... I think Power Athlete looks better!
If this was programmed by ex-SNK staff, then they must have been the bottom of the wrung Fight Fever guys (I know that wasn't programmed by SNK, ok?).
This looks like it's going to be a release for die hard beat 'em up fans or SFC collectors, so I shall be, sadly, giving it a miss.

I still find it amusing when you Poms call fighting games "beat 'em ups".

I'm glad I kept my pre-order in the end. I nearly cancelled it mainly due to the horrendous box art but since all my games are stored in boxes rather than on a shelf it will be hidden away most of the time. I get what people are saying about the frame rate and I admit its hard to go back to SNES fighting games after playing Neo Geo fighters and various other arcade versions via MAME, however since its a new SNES game in 2017 and I do love the console then why the hell not even if its for novelty purposes. My bother is also a retro gamer so I'm sure we will have a good blast on this one when it arrives.

This Youtube blogger did an unboxing and play-through. The game kind breaks down like this for me:
The Good:
Very cool packaging; a modern twist on a classic Super Famicom cart.
Simple but enjoyable music.
Neo-Geo-esque sound effects.
Good game play (this is probably the most important plus).
Character design & standing animation.
Overall graphics of the game.
The Bad:
Lacking in animation and choppy.
Only 6 playable characters.
Very limited soundtrack.
As it is, I wouldn't pay more than $50.00 for this shipped.
