Maybe I'm seeing something that's not there, but:
Is it me or does that board look exactly like the Street Fighter II Alpha pcb on the SNES except with the sides cut off? Something here is odd.. (open the 30th anniversary pic in a different window to see a bigger version)
You're not crazy. I went back to their site and did a google image search looking at the PCB for the game. They're identical in layout even the white etchings on the board too. This may even be a bigger scam than we're giving credit for. Instead of iam8bit using new boards/tech like they farmed for Duck Tales in those lunchboxes they may very well have gotten old board supplies off Capcom or they bought a few thousand games from various sources online, polished up the boards like brand new and they're just re-using 25 year old SNES PCBs inside of a new shell with a new sticker and the added minimalist art fluff. That's pretty damn skeezy really.
