A 100$ f*cking SNES SF2 repro

[Black Tiger]

If you want a Red or a Clear Green Shell

Just buy 2 SFII Games and put it in the Shell

But the original won't burn your house down.

I saw a completed sold listing on eBay for one of these at $475, so maybe buying to resell would be a good call. Even if it makes you a scalper, but this is already a ridiculous item.

Wowee!  I can buy something I don't want and sell it to make a profit!  That makes me smart!

No, that mindset makes you the biggest problem with retro gaming.

What is it about Nintendo fanboys that makes them so obsessed with buying everything?

Don't even get me started on all the people who say "____ is perfect for the switch" and blow their wallet open sperging over $70 controllers and mediocre games like Snipperclips and Arms. Playstation fans certainly don't act like this.

There can't possibly be Playstation fans, are there? Outside of Japan?

To possibly answer your question; Sony just makes black boxes and maybe some Gran Turismo or Crash Bandicoot bullshit once in a while. That isn't going to get you the kind of fans that Mario RPG or the Mother series will. Being a fan of Playstation is like being a fan of cardboard. Cardboard is really great, but nobody is a "fan" of it.

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).

bartre I totally agree!

Zeta hates new games, so he probably doesn't pay much attention to them.

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.

Uncharted and Last of Us are the two big Sony franchises that I think about when exclusives come up. I see where Zeta is coming from now after DragonmasterDan decoded some of the message for me

Uncharted I'll give you.

But The Last of Us?
 I know there's a higher res version on PS4 but are there any other games in the series thus far? Otherwise you have a single game released multiple times. I know there's 4 main Uncharted plus a Vita one (maybe more games).
