How is it a repro? It's completely different from the original cart and packaging. This is one of the less egregious things I've seen idiots here waste their money on.

It's not a repo, it's a reissue. Like when they re-release vinyl records or whatever. The price is absurd, though.

Sold with the Rare logo despite them having nothing to do with the project and literally just selling copyrighted material in a fancier box.

This person probably thinks Microsoft/Rare won't sue them because they won't find out/have better things to do, but they will find out the hard way.

A reissue is when the developer/publisher themselves officially reprint a game and sell it. A reproduction is when an authorized third party reprints a game with the permission of the original developer/publisher and sells it. A bootleg/counterfeit/fake copy is what 99% of people make and sell on places like eBay.

That's wrong, doing that is exactly the same thing as the original release. Reproduction is just a synonym of bootleg, just without the "chinese knock off" vibe to it but in practice there is no different outside, perhaps, of qualitiy of print

Actually, yes. There are more reproductions and reissues in Japan of old games these days. In particular, Columbus Circle has been reproducing a large number of desirable games.

No it's not, you're probably one of these people who think "retro" is purely a synonym of "old" and nothing more, when it's not, and yet keep spamming "not retro" everywhere without fully comprehending the meaning of it.

Reproduction is the correct term for illegal new cartridges of old games and romhacks, they usually have a slightly higher quality of print and faithfulness to the original product than chinese bootlegs, but other than that there is no difference between the two.

"Official reproduction" as a word combination doesn't exist, things like in OP's pic are like 0,01% of the market of repros. You get 1 official one for 1000 illegal ones, with something so rare there is yet to be a word to describe that specific thing.

Therefore, like it or not, "reissue" to describe the product in OP is actually correct. It's not like most game devs, outside of maybe Nintendo, manufactured their own cartridges in their own factories. In both cases, whether it's for the original release or the reissue, it's done in accord with the publisher and built by a third party.

The only difference in that case is that these new reissues look like absolute shit, but that's another topic.

Have you ever been a functioning member of society or just always a guy that could swallow coal and fart diamonds?

[Anonymous No.6744878]

>>6744870
and when people use the word "repro" for things like OP's pic, they usually know it's wrong to say that, but use the word anyway as an insult because they think the thing looks stupid and its existence is stupid

example
>hurr hurr paying 100 bucks for a rom in a repro cart

They know it's not a repro since it's official, but using that word only diminishes the product by showcasing the little difference between an actual repro and this kind of reissues, since they're basically done the same and the only difference with an actual repro is that the publisher is somehow okay with this shit.

No, zoomer retard, that which is produced by some bottom dollar chinese factory ten years after the fact is a reproduction, not a re-release. Retard.

You know who releases games? Publishers. Thus it's publishers who rerelease games. Battletoads was published by Tradewest which was bought by Midway which was bought by Warner Bros.
>Manufactured by Retrotainment Games + Infinite NES Lives
It's a repro.
