Will this one melt my system too?

I remember iam8bit were warning people about bootleg repros of their official SF2 repros on ebay. That was pretty funny.

>>4745137
>30th anniversary of Mega Man 1
>no Mega Man 1 repro
Crapcom does it again!

If they charged regular prices for these it would be okay but these are at least $40 too much.

And no MM1 for the 30th anniversary of MM1? Missed opportunity. The box art nixed it?

>>4745142
No, but I do remember their warnings about how their repros might combust within your console.

>>4745137
soys

Predict the resale price first week. $100 per cart?

>>4745137
Resellers, who sell to other resellers, who then sell to other resellers. Repeat forever.

>>4745249
So you mean $200? They're being sold by the company at $100. Oh, the X manual has a forward by some e-celebs for god only knows what reason.

>>4745256
Who needs instructions to play fucking Megaman

>>4745256
>>4745261
The same people who think an e-celeb endorsement gives the game more appeal.

The original cartridges aren't even that expensive

>>4745273
It was the same deal with the SFII repros.
Original SFII cart: $10
Repro cart on ebay: $200
It defies all logic.

>>4745137
Why don't they re-release Mega Man X 3? For $100 it would be a steal.

>>4745292
these are for collecting not playing

>>4745256
Sorry, e-celeb, singular.
>>4745292
Probably because X3 isn't as iconic as the original game. Also probably doesn't help that X3 would require the reproduction of the Cx4 chip or a substitute.

I already have both games, so no thanks.

cuckllectors

>$200
>for 2 cartridges that cost a combined total of maybe $50

Collectors really are the worst kinds of people. I love these games too but what the fuck

>>4746402
the only thing like this I ever was VERY tempted to buy was pier solar back in the day. Because apparently you cant pirate it or some shit, at least thats what they said. Never ended up playing it

>literally tells people that their systems could be fried and their house could burn down
>"retro-pack in surprises" that are probably lootcrate tier dollar store stickers
>a forward by a fucking e-celeb
>have a chance of getting a cartridge design you don't even want
look at this dude
oh oh
oh no no no no

The same retards who bought this despite having a warning that can even fry your fucking snes and not even being manufactured by Capcom itself

>>4745137
this guy

>>4746436
He really likes the PS2

Oooh, a $100 ROM on a cartridge that may burn out my NES?

Nah.

>>4745143
Do you Mega Queers never stop whining?

>>4746412
>or some shit
You need to go back.

Kill yourself nigger

>>4746429
Let's be honest, only retard bandwagoner retrofags listening to the latest shills on YouTube bought it and never even played it or opened it because it's "limited edition".

>>4746461
It's fucking gay regardless. I was just pointing out an additional baffling decision they made

>>4745302
Why would people collect repros when the originals are available? These games are pretty collectable already, so it would seem logical.

>>4745137
I would think lesser of someone who bought this.

>>4746504
Never.

>>4746470
>>4746504
>>4746578
Geez, get a room!

>>4745143
It's about appealing to nostalgia, and noone fucking played MM1.

Which is kinda ironic, since I imagine if they DID release Mega Man 1, there would be actually a lot of people who don't actually own the cartridge for it.

>>4745137
>Who keeps buying this shit?
neckbearded, fedora wearing tards.

>>4745137
Hipsters
Millenials
SJWs
E-Penis Braggers
E-Speculators/Resellers

Those assholes basically, and sadly they are a whole lot.

I dont count most normies cause many of em are poor, and not as in ''lel poorfags'' i mean as in not having that much income.

>>4745142
i bet those bootlegs were far safer to play than the snake's oil shitscam they do.

>>4746735
The cartridge mold is made of (s)oy extract.

>>4746412
There's an FPGA in the cart which I guess is used for copy protection since a mapper isn't necessary for the memory size used. It can be pirated it's just not as easy as usual.

>>4746470

>>4745236

Curious. How did these things fry the console?

>>4745137
>I could buy the actual game for $20
>or I could buy a repo for $100 that could catch my system on fire
Damn, what a hard choice.

>>4745256
>>4746426
Who's the e-celeb? It's fucking egoraptor, isn't it?

>>4747068
I think it's (soie related)

send me a vocaroo of your voice qt

>>4746876
With fava beans and a nice chianti

>>4745137

You could buy two copies, sell one on ebay for an inflated price, and keep one at nearly no cost to yourself. So why not?

>>4747219
>So why not?
The better question is "why?"

>>4746821
>There's an FPGA in the cart which I guess is used for copy protection since a mapper isn't necessary for the memory size used. It can be pirated it's just not as easy as usual.

Thanks

>>4746876
They won't, they have to put a warning like that because they can't don't quality assurance on 28 year old hardware.

>>4747068
>>4747075
It's Jirard the Completionist. Of all the ecelebs, he genuinely loves games and making content (even if I don't necessarily like its presentation), so I'm happy he got the opportunity to do something cool.

>>4749690
28 years. That's like way before you were born. I should totally believe everything you say.

>>4750015

>his sense of humor is horrible, worst in earlier episodes
>he immediately comes off as a self entitled asshole who is a shitty friend
>he draws himself or at least uses drawings of himself as a strong bearded guy when he's a fatass

and yet I can't stop watching his videos.

how is this not copyright infringement

>>4750431
Capcom approved it and is most likely getting a cut.

Not gonna lie, I'd probably buy this if it were at or below the retail of the original games, but a hundred fuckin bucks? these games have been literally handed out in at least 1-2 dozen different platforms
Am I getting Rolled

you could get a flashcart for cheaper and play every nes game so why buy this

>>4745137
Fags like pic related.

>>4750431
Publishing rights are not difficult to get, anon.

>>4745137
Should I just get this to resell it? Will it definitely go up in value?

>>4750543
Such a nice beard is wasted on such an immense douchebag.

>>4747075
LOL assistant professor, he can't even get tenure at a college in a USA territory, how pathetic.

>>4750572

Yes it will go up in value. The SFII cart that wasn't even that well received went up a lot. Mega Man 2 and X are much more popular and will go for more.

>>4746707
It's not Megaman 2's 30th anniversary, faggot. Also, MM1 is the first one I played, and it's one of the only two that remains playable, today (the other being MM6).

>>4750580

ridiculous

>>4745137
my idiot co worker is buying it

>>4749690
This.

>>4746429
I am more mad about the fact that they chose the worst version of Street Fighter II for re-release. Why not Super or Turbo?

Not to mention that Super Street Fighter II Turbo never even got a SNES release. Alpha only got released in Japan so maybe if we're lucky we might get an official release someday, but I don't know what to expect.

>>4751517
>Alpha only got released in Japan
You mean for SNES? Or just in general? Cuz either way you're wrong.

>>4745137
Reddit.

>>4746402
$200 is pocket change to some people

>>4745137
Cheap official repros of actually rare games I could understand but I don't get the point of a repro that's more expensive and rare than the real thing especially when there's no actual value attached to it.

>>4752216
And...?

>>4745137
>reprinting the most common Mega Man games instead of the expensive ones
Why the fuck do they do these reprints anyway? Why not just make them identical to the originals? Like really high quality repros essentially.

>>4754134
I said, its a snake's oil scam!

>>4750543
oh god, what a douche.

>>4745137
I don't think the game is shit, it's pretty good. I bought it back in the day for almost as much as those cost. Those are cool looking.


>>4745287
I have no idea how Chinese bootlegs are now more valuable. Back in my day, Chinese bootlegs were shit, but it was all we could afford.


>>4745292
That's just making too much sense now.


>>4746436
Very cool. Aiming to get the special color version?

>repo
this is the real deal not a repo

The wii is retro depending on who you ask.
"Aww man I'd spend hours just browsing the wii shop when I was a kid.!"

>>4745137
i kept seeing this ad and reported it to Nintendo before I realized its officially licensed.

>>4756201

The patents are off on old Nintendo material now anyway. That's why clone consoles and repro games keep getting made even without licensing.

>>4754601
Hello /V/tard.

Quick question, if they were doing this with games that are in the same price range (or even greater) as what they're actually charging like Mega Man X2/X3 and Final Fight 3, would you be against it?

>>4756832
No. There should be reprints of rare and expensive games, more people get to play them and resellers don't make any money. They should be priced something like $60-70 though as anything higher and the only people who would buy it are the same people who would pay for the original.

You just know next year they'll do a 30th anniversary of Final Fight with the terrible first version of the game for SNES. Not Final Fight Guy or 3.

>>4756931
There wouldn't even be a point to Final Fight Guy, as it's only valued for its rarity, and the reprint wouldn't be the #RARE #VALUABLE original.

>>4756832

I'd buy a repro earthbound for $100 if it had an exact copy of the strategy guide and box.

>>4745137
35 year old man children who wear retro nostalgia T-shirts from Walmart and smell like body odor and brag about their old ass tube tv on the internet. And live in their grandmas basement.

>>4756972
Hey, I resemble that remark

>>4756972
So basically most of /vr/

>>4756931
>>4756935
They COULD just make a custom version of the ROM that includes all three characters since space wouldn't be a concern on a modern cart, but that would require work and wouldn't be free money so that idea goes out the damn window.

>>4756972
I'm 29 and live with my father, thank you very much.

>>4755331
>"Aww man I'd spend hours just browsing the wii shop when I was a kid.!"
This but unironically. Hell, it's how I first got into N64 and NES games, then I figured out emulation

>>4745137
>1/8
>8500

I'm no mathemagician but those numbers don't seem right

>>4746402
>cost $50
Maybe 15 years ago, these days even something like a super Mario bros loose cart goes for $50 it's retarded

>>4758117
Assuming we're talking about loose carts, $50 is about right. MM2 and MMX are both around $20-$30 loose on ebay.

Shit, here's a sold listing of MMX with the box (no manual, though for $50 + shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mega-Man-X-Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-1993-/112978829785?epid=1872&hash=item1a4e1021d9%3Ag%3AYikAAOSwgBNawng9&nma

>>4745137
My favorite part is how they advertise the instruction booklet as premium. Yeah that's definitely why I'm going to buy the cartridge, some fresh and fancy instructions. Isn't their target audience people who are already fans of Megaman anyways?

If you're charging that much at least let people choose the colorway, crikey.

Only Officialfags & Collectorfags want it.

>>4745137
Oh look, it's the same faggots who made anti-GamerGate tshirts.
