Man, of all the f*cking games to reissue...even in today's idiotic Retro bubble this thing can be had for $6.
Of course I'm dying to see the guts.
If this keeps going to the point where original labels start issuing real carts again I'm %100 A-OK with that but at the moment it kinda feels like the dream of the Retro VGS has been borrowed.

You guys are all looking at it the wrong way. This is a good thing. If a collector idiot spends $100 on this shit, that's $100 he doesn't have to spend on real turbo games.
The market will crash, people, and Capcom is here to help.

Ohh and this thing is f*cking stupid, you can go into any retro game store and find a shit ton of copies of this in good condition for 20 - 30 bucks, and they won't set your console on fire.

This much worse than Capcom or another classic publisher doing this. It's just another one of these collectard industry companies which makes some extra garbage to repackage goods with, so they can sell it as limited collectors editions.
The fact that Capcom is willing to accept a licensing fee from a bootlegger who is admittedly using parts that they believe will fry your console and burn down your house is what's troubling. Because Capcom will be making much more profit from this than if they were to physically publish an old cart game themselves. If they get paid upfront, then it doesn't matter if this is successful or not, it's going to get every bootlegger and indy publisher applying to license the rights to all kinds of old games and retail them for more than CIB copies currently sell for.
It's easy money for owners of old catalogs that they don't give a shit about.

If they actually license it. Piko Interactive has had some luck getting older IPs licensed but having the company still around makes it a lot easier. Look at stuff like older JP groups that go out of business, get sold to another holder, which goes out of business and who knows where the IP still lives.

This is how a lot of weird records get issued.

I think this is mostly something that won't make Capcom much money and is just a thing they think is fun to do for the 30th anniversary. I wouldn't buy it as my old copy is good enough but I personally know a couple of guys already who have already bought it.
As for the youtube idiot? I am 100% convinced that he bought subs and views. He's a rumor regurgitator and has a mediocre collection that he stands in front of. I watched two more of his relatively more popular videos and I don't think that I need to see more. "I got a Sega Holy Grail! It's a CDX!" "I think I'm going for a 32X Complete Set. I'll do cart only. I just picked up MK2 and WWF." I just don't see how anything this guy says is interesting enough to warrant the views/subs.

However it may cause damage when used or a fire? And they blame a 30 year old system?
This really isn't for me based on MSRP, potential for damaging my property, and SF II? Not turbo or any other SNES revision of the game but the slow first one that isn't very good?

I'm a huge Street Fighter II fan, but no way I would buy this for any price. $100 for snes SFII World Warrior repro is insane. Definitely made specifically for collectards.
Bought the original snes SFII for $80 when released and played the shit out of it until CE/Turbo/SE versions were released. I can't remember the last time I've played snes SFII World Warrior, but I've never had the urge to play it after better SFII versions/ports came out.

I honestly think something like this for certain classic titles or harder to find titles would be great. Though it definitely needs to be done right, at a proper price, and you know not risking blowing up your system. Like do this for Demon's Crest for 60 bucks, or a legit from Konami repressing of Rondo of Blood, I would be all for it. 100 bucks for a common as f*ck cart that isn't even made right, WTF at that.

My shelf candy portfolio doesn't contain any of these retro gaming investments. I just don't know how to retro properly.
You need to diversify. I hope your portfolio is split with heavy weight on short term investments (items to flip/immediate income) vs. long term futures (speculation). Don't get fooled with extra items being a slice of your futures pie. When black monday hits this market (and it will), being rich today "on paper" is just going to dilute you later.
That's how you retro

Back in the mid '90s Babbages had brand new SFII World Warrior snes on clearance for $1.99. I remember the store had boxes of them on the floor underneath the bargain bin. No one wanted them then and I don't think anyone really cares about World Warrior now.

I am actually surprised at how long it took to sell out.
I think it's only a matter of time until bigger companies start to capitalize on the second hand market. In this case, the game being re-issued is one of the most common and cheap originals, and it still found an audience, so imagine the money to be made when companies start re-releasing games that are fetching high prices, either due to scarcity or demand.
With that said, I wouldn't even pay $10 to add this cartridge to my curated collection, let alone ten times that. But if Sega were to re-release Elemental Master (given they own the IP), or Capcom the original Mega Man for say, $50 MSRP, I would definitely consider it.

This cart is just taking the piss seriously. But its an interesting nevertheless, this has to be one of the first times there is an official licensed/manufactured repro cart for a retro system. I wonder if we'll see more these sort of things in the future. The very least I would have expected (besides a lower price) is an updated version of the game in the lines of the Switch port, something meaningfully unique software wise. Any version of SF2 is literally max 500yen cart for Super Famicom. Alpha is a different matter but we are talking about SF2.

I haven't played arms but I am curious as as to what makes it mediocre. I have and played all of snipper clippers and loved it. It's not a system seller, but I certainly got 20$ of good times out of it. It's a great crowd pleaser for casual family members too.
The $70 controllers are indefensible, though.
I don't think this is a Nintendo fanboy issue, it's a collector issue. This is not for anyone who wants to play the game, obviously. Shelf candy, to each their own, this is not for me but let he who has not bought dumb useless stuff throw the first cartridge ;p

There definitely are, but they seem to be a different breed, partially for the reasons you stated. I would also point out that playstation as a brand has nothing that has stuck around nearly as long as mario/zelda/metroid/star fox/etc. but I don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing, I'd put some value on knowing when to stop.
but maybe that statement was less true before they showed off the new god of war, that would be the 4th platform to get an original game.
Really though, I'd say that it's less of a Playstation as a brand thing and more of a Playstation as a platform thing. i.e. Nintendo fans are brand fans, which is why you see Nintendo brand products outside of Nintendo gaming products that are very successful. But for Playstation, you don't see nearly as much non gaming products, and the ones you do see are comparatively less successful.

You mean the same Crash Bandicoot that is on Xbox consoles and even Nintendo consoles?! Crash Bandicoot isn't a Sony IP. If you think that is all Sony has to offer than I would say you aren't up to date on their games or current console offerings (and this is coming from someone who doesn't care for Sony).

I agree with the basic pont here which is that Nintendo develops and cultivates franchises that people come to Nintendo platforms for again and again. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon, Kirby, the list goes on and on. Nintendo has fans in part because their fans of the franchises and properties that Nintendo owns/co-owns and releases on their platforms.
Sony only has a handful of franchises that are regulars or have big fan bases, Gran Turismo, God of War and then what? We haven't seen much of Little Big Planet recently.. Parappa is long gone. Even Microsoft has Halo, Gears of War and some properties that have their own fairly large fan bases. Sony doesn't have the same identity, it's a big black box you play third party games on.

I'm more of questioning if one game and a remake of said game is enough to establish it as a consistent franchise. I'm well aware it has a fan base.
Like I consider Skies of Arcadia to be a game with a big fan base, and it too has an original game and a slightly upgraded remake. But is it a franchise?
In this context the definition of Franchise is a general title or concept used for creating or marketing a series of products . I'm not sure one product and a slightly improved version of that product constitutes a series.

I am not in the reseller game personally, and I didn't get the game anyway. I feel like most of these are going to just sit on shelves collecting dust.

There can't possibly be Playstation fans, are there? Outside of Japan?
RIGHT HERE BITCH
RIGHT. HERE.
OG PSX OR DIEEEEEEEEEEEE
I don't even use dual shocks. Dual Shocks are for pussies.
Liking the PS1 doesn’t make you a “fan of the PlayStation”. It just means you like good stuff. The PS1 in particular has an almost infinite software selection, more than a person could ever need. The first system had a real identity as a consumer product too, cool design, shapes for buttons, etc.
But if your fandom is that restrained you prove my point. You aren’t a fan of...aparently anything PlayStation after late 1997. That doesn’t make you much of a fan.
I have PS1, 2, 3 as well as PSP and Vita. I’ve purchased and played more games for these systems than I have for anything else post Sega/SNK. I’m still not a fan. There’s nothing to be a fan of. I use it as an appliance to play 3rd party software. I actually hate almost every single thing about the UI, the store, etc I just need the PlayStation for the same reason one needs socks or gasoline or a ball point pen.
Imagine if NEC had released a game system without Hudson’s involvement. That’s the PlayStation.
The question asked was “why are Nintendo fans so much crazier than fans of other systems” and the answer was is not “because Nintendo rules” rather it’s that there are no fans like that for Sony and MS. There kinda are for Sega and SNK but nowhere near as many and right now the most dysfunctional but monied generation lands right in Nintendo land. America’s mental illness combined with Nintendo's yummy candy...they eat each other up.
What’s Sony going to offer to these sad bastards? I know you’re depressed, here’s some inhuman monster ripping out some guy’s spine? Here’s cars you can’t afford? Here’s a controler that is so blatantly ripped off from our competition, and such a huge flop, that we should have printed an apology on the box? Maybe, but a lot of these people just want to hang out in the Forest with Animals or cry after finishing Earthbound for the 90th time. Sony isn’t in that business, they don’t have the same customers. Different fandoms behave differently.
It’s like comparing fans of record labels. Factory, Blue Note, Quannum, Mobile Fidelity, Dischord...why do they have so many more fans than K-tel or for that matter Sony? Because it’s a dumb question. Think about it. It’s the same reason cool people have more friends.

Yeah I only buy Playstation because thats where all the JRPGs went.
If it didn't have all the niche-y JRPGs, it would serve basically no purpose to me.
