Street Fighter II (30th Anniversary Edition) SNES cart - iam8bit
- Thread starter Vespa
- Start date
They tend to be super overpriced and everything launches as a preorder which fails to make it's promised release date (by months/years). Their customer service is quite awful too: one example was a customer receiving a damaged record, then being told by iam8bit that they shouldn't have picked the cheapest shipping option, and that they weren't going to replace it.

Do not buy from iam8bit! Theyre overpriced and shit always gets delayed. People continue to buy their vinyls despite the issues with the pricing. Dont be weak and give in to something like this.
A $100 cart that will set your SNES on fire.
This is peak capitalism and it'll probably sell out.

They should add a little fire logo to this.I suspect there's more coming

I shat myself so hard when I found out this was coming out for the Super Nintendo back in the day. Kids these days have no idea.

Why would they use a photo of the cart in an SNES console in the on state if they also say you shouldn't actually use it in a real SNES? That's like slam dunk lawsuit territory right there lol

Nintendo should release StarFox 2 on a cart.

Now see, that's one you could make the argument for $100 for.

If I knew I could get the Blanka cartridge I would probably pre-order it. He's always been my favorite character in the series so it'd be a neat item to have.
Last paragraph on the store page. I can only guess that the warning is there because it might be using 3.3v Flash rather than 5v (which I'm told is harder to come across in larger densities) but can be used with the correct level transistors.

They really are but gamers will still buy this shit if there is some nostalgia attached to it.

Please don't buy from iam8bit and encourage their hideous pricing.

That original version of SF2 is hot garbage.
Yeah, while it was fine when we were kids, the 16 bit ports are pretty bad when compared to the CPS1 originals. Especially since the arcade version is easily accessible nowadays be it real hardware, better ported home versions or even through emulation.
Unless you want to put that for display, you're better off just getting a real CPS1 board at this point for the authentic SF2 WW experience.

Nobody wants to play SF1 again.

What's with the "catching fire" posts? I must have missed something.

Bullshit, even if it sucks I want to play it, even if it's just for historical reasons. Especially since SF5 is rather "legacy-conscious".
Even if the debut-album of your favorite band sucks doesn't mean they should delete it from their discography.
I wouldn't mind some of the fighters from that game make a return to Street Fighter V. I mean, I can't be the only one who wants Eagle or Retsu, or how they approach adapting the other fighters from that game.

I honestly like the idea of official retail repro carts. But at that price... yeah that is a bit much.

Yeh so dumb, they constantly celebrate the anniversary of the POS Street Fighter 1 with Street Fighter II based products.
It's like releasing Super Mario World for an NES Super Mario Bros anniversary (which Nintendo came close to doing with the All Stars release on Wii - bt at least it actually contains a version of SMB1).
Is it that rare? I have it since launch.
Not when it first came out. But yeah with Turbo and Super available its weird that they use this version.

Ditto. Fuck iam8bit
You want to own it, you don't want to play it.

That's kinda cool...I would like it if it had the SFC box art. I hated the US box art for all the Street Fighter games.
Pricey indeed, but it is a collector's item. I'm a big SF fan, but...nah I will pass.

$100 + $24 for shipping. L. M. A. O.
For vanilla SF2 which is also a fire hazard.
I'd rather buy a $6 red cartridge shell and the game off ebay and do my own "collector's edition". At least it wouldn't fry my SNES.
