A 100$ f*cking SNES SF2 repro

Someone pointed out that they're the same board, meaning they probably just bought up a bunch of SFII carts online and threw away the shell...

Wait, they're actually are re-using old SF2 games for this shit?!

Seems really unlikely - 100 maybe - but 5000?  I hope to f*ck it is true, but I don't think so...

Could be a mock up instead of the actual product.

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 isn't like Jaleco or whomever currently holds their IP rights licensing out some company to make collection multi-carts of their games. This is a single overpriced release. Just ridiculous

[seieienbu]

As interesting as I think that it would be for new releases of old SNES or whatever games to come out, I don't think that there's quite the market for multi-million dollar corporations to start doing it seriously.  Fingers crossed that I get proved wrong and get finally get a copy of Pocky and Rocky or something else I'm missing.

[munchiaz]

This is ridiculous. They could have at least given the collectards Turbo edition.

this is pretty dumb of capcom to charge 100 bucks for this. If this was maybe 30-40 bucks, i'd consider it, but 100??? the f*ck outta here!

Capcom just licensed it.  they have nothing to do with the release or pricing. Iam8bit is who you want to pissed at.

I have absolutely zero interest in this...and I don't get the hype around it, other than the statement that it may catch fire???

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.

If you want a Red or a Clear Green Shell

Just buy 2 SFII Games and put it in the Shell

Yep. f*ck iam8bit. They’re stuff is always absurdly priced and their customer service is dogshit.
