(It's obviously illegal to create reproductions of already existing US games, such as Earthbound so this mainly applies to games never released in the US)
Haha, well tbh I didn't even know this existed until I found a store which opened in Novemember, I was on Facebook yesterday and saw this store was selling Secret of Mana 2, Terranigma, Zelda BS and Parallel Worlds, Earthbound Zero, FF5 for the SNES, etc. And I thought to myself, wtf? The art on the games looked like any other game, very polished and well done, and so I did some research and mainly this year and last year it's become a big thing in SNES games being made that weren't released in Japan. My question is, what do you guys think of it? The fact that they come in Boxes with Manuals as well, and the fact that the games play so well kind of excites me as a huge RPG Collector/Gamer. Finally getting my hands on Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2, Bahamut Lagoon, Etc is just awesome.
But I am sure there's a lot of people who disagree as well. Of course each game is rather pricy, like $60 for the cartridge alone, but I find it worth it in a way. I have never been much of a emulator guy so getting to own all of these classics never brought to the US is really exciting imo. But of course authenticity is questioned. I am just looking for thoughts on this, if anyone else owns any of these? I don't like the fact some fan hacks and such are included (mainly the zeldas) but oh well, just cause they are there doesn't mean I have to buy them. I am hoping maybe Mother 3 is brought to the SNES haha.
I picked up FFV, Bahamut Lagoon, and Earthbound Zero (Mother) btw. I got them relatively cheap since I know the owner of the store and I bought 3 of them, and had a store discount. Anyone else have experiences with these?
Just a few images of the more popular stuff being made.
