So who exactly is CAPCOM trying to sell this overpriced garbage to? More importantly, who's dumb enough to cough up $100 USD for this?? Retro SNES enthusiasts find this re-release laughable and memeworthy at best

You're better off going to a local Goodwill / Garage Sale / Flea Market / ebay to get the original cartridge for like $5!

I'm convinced that 50% to 80% of all the people who bought them are just resellers, and most of the folks who will buy from the resellers are just REresellers, and thus that cycle will continue until literally all the copies on ebay are reseller-owned and with a price driven so high that they can't resell them anymore.

It's a fucking collectible promotional item, retard. They're not planning on making tons of money off it. The fact that you're posting about it shows that it's working just fine as a promotional item.

Careful, that one anon is going to bitch about how New Challengers is the worst because he can tell the sound effects were slightly more compressed when he puts on his top quality headphones.

This is probably a test to see if there is a more mainstream market for old games at retail. The entire industry is probably looking at the sales of the NES Classic and asking themselves "can we still sell this stuff?"

>> No.4326185

SNES Super's sound was completely different from the previous 2 SNES versions (just like how arcade Super's sound was completely different from the CPS1 versions), so it's not really matter of quality or compression. Just a matter of whether you like the new or old sounds more.
>>4325374
The SNES version of Super actually had turbo speeds, unlike the arcade original.

Retarded ecelebs mainly. It's pretty brilliant actually you can release any overpriced junk on an old console and you just know the likes of Metaljesus will eat that shit up to make a video about how totally cool it is to own it.

Oh god this is so true. I'm not a fan of people who just buy games to collect and then they also complain about people selling games at high prices. It's like, don't you see the hypocrisy in this entire situation?

I can understand if you really enjoy spending your free time hunting for games when most people would go out to eat at a restaurant or play sports or something because everything does cost money when you break it down.
