Only the minty stuff makes the glass display cabinet.

excited at first, then it quickly faded from price and that it's not Turbo. I lent my copy to a friend about 18 years ago and never got it back, then the fucker committed suicide and of course I never got it back.

i don't see the point to this. but i would of liked it to be a reworked version of street fighter 2 that pushes the snes hardware to its limits to make the game closer to the arcade version.

I'm sure fagits and flippers are buying this in the hopes they get one of the random glow in the dark carts. This shit is insane.

Pretty much what i was about to say. One thing I can never understand is why are the big boys letting flipper assholes make all that money? Take the NES mini for example. People went ape shit crazy for it, paying hundreds of dollars on eBay. Sure, it's hard to measure demand, but this happens all the time. There's this whole "limited run" business model in place for PS4 and Vita. Flippers buy titles like Swapper, get them graded and try to sell them for obscene amounts of money. What the hell is going on?

It feels unreal we're actually seeing "legit repros". RetroUSB was doing exactly that for years, releasing Donkey Kong and Nintendo competition carts with no license of any kind.

This is idiotic. If you want to release new SNES games in 2017, I'm all for it. All I ask is that you give me value for my $$. $100 for a re-issue of a game you can pick up nearly anywhere for super cheap is fucking ridiculous.

Fools and their money are easily parted.

If it was possible to do ST then it would be a whole different story.

I agree, I'd love to see what someone could do with SNES/Genesis hardware, you could go ROM crazy now that hard memory is so damn cheap. I wonder if the SNES was limited to 32 megabits, or if it could be stretched.

bank switching.

For a bit more than double of that price you can get a XBox One S - however arbitrage hunters already bought everything available in the UK store.
Will be fun to see if they open it to check for green carts while "loosing" resale value or if we see "repackaged" stuff like with MTG legends boosters in former times.
All that for a game that you can pick up for little money - interesting times.

Aren't they also throwing this on the snes mini as well?

Whoever owns the Alien vs Predator video game license needs to team up with Capcom and re-release the arcade AVP. That would be a better use of Capcom's time.

Like that's ever happening. I'm sure it will be released alongside The Punisher and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs [a double license whammy - Mark Schultz and General Motors].

With their MegaDrive releases, Watermelon have proved that modern enhanced cartridges are possible even on the system which had only one such cartridge officially released [Virtua Racing]. Not counting bank switching, of course. SNES was all about enhanced cartridges. A better SF2 version could be made, but that would involve actual work, and not reproduction.

Hilarious even by collectard standards. Figures Capcom would be the one to try it.

Capcom should get on the Mini console craze and release a Mini-CPS changer console.

pixeljunkie · Aug 31, 2017

this is clearly a test for what the collectard market will do and how far can they push it into the ridiculous.

I just hope for some videos of fire aftermath.

The original is already smaller then an AES cart. Makes one think how a PC-Engine Mini would super deform

.

On topic though, if this shit sells, others might follow the stench of the almighty $$$ -- hell, I could shell out a c-note for a Super Turrican Extended Version with all cut-out levels intact. Though it's so very likely to happen...

Isn't this more a case of some repro specialists getting the OK from Capcom?

That's exactly what the problem is. Releasing a widely available title like SF2 is insane, but it is a sure crowd pleaser. Plus, I bet Capcom doesn't have to do anything. Everything is handled by the "repro-men", and Capcom just counts the cash and spreads the good news via official channels.

Remember Star Fox 2 from Rose Colored Gaming? How did that ever get released? Nintendo is monetizing every YouTube video with their content in it, cracking down on people making homebrew projects, but this was somehow OK with them? I know Capcom is not Nintendo, but come on. I know hardware patents expire, but that does not apply to the Star Fox franchise.

What I'm saying is, I'd rather have an official Star Fox 2 release on a cartridge, that wasn't some hack of an unfinished game. And no, I'm not impressed by the official release on the SNES mini, because it's a ROM running on an emulator.

P.S. - If the SF2 cartridge can ignite your SNES, I wonder what that Star Fox 2 cartridge, with actual LEDs, could do.

P.P.S. - If I'm going to spend my money on anything released on a cartridge, it better be good. Recently, among the physical SNES releases, only Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero stands out as a game worth anyone's time and money. I found it really enjoyable. I'm glad it found its way onto a cartridge and got rescued from obscurity.

I find it hilarious that Capcom are cashing in on collectards now, they could ask $200 for the new SF cart and some ppl would still shell out.

Well, every generation has the video game scene it deserves, eh.

DevilRedeemed · Aug 31, 2017

the main problem I see with this is whilst I consider SFII port/conversion a watershed moment in console gaming history, it wasn't made originally for the SNES - you are basically bringing out a game that in itself no one considers of any relevance. very much different would it be for say, Nintendo to do this kind of thing with Super Metroid.
it is somewhat bizzare.
100 dollars a pop wow

In all likelihood. Still such a Capcom thing to do.

Weak...i was hoping there would be a SF Anniversary Collection 2 game for the PS4 or a port of the alpha series to the PS4...

Getting 30k points in SFV plus a SNES game that everyone already has falls kinda short
