General thread for gaming news that doesn't deserve its own thread.

Way to expensive for that repro cart, even though it is "sorta" official. I've got the original, thank you.

In other news, Klown and I rejoice. Well, he would, except for Nintendo.

That looks awesome. I liked the first one, never had the chance to play the second.

I assume they are just covering their ass. But it does bring up is it made that poorly that it's going to combust?

That's my first thought but it's so specific that I have to wonder.

I wonder if someone will blame Unreal Engine and Epic if they bungle the game ?

Possibly yes, there is a real chance it could damage your SNES if it's built with modern memory chips.

If I even bothered buying Street Fighter 2 (I honestly don't recall if I did. Edit: I've got a Japanese copy), I certainly didn't pay more than $5 for it.

Huh
Thanks for the post, I didn't know that stuff actually made a difference.

I really enjoy both. Great games. First for its unique and fun writing, second for the refined gameplay.

Most of Grasshopper's last games (probably the last 5-6 since Lollipop and Shadows) have been on Unreal. They might have been the first Japanese company to master the engine. It's been said that this is the reason that Gungho bought them. Let it Die was surprisingly well received for what it is.

Poor Mario.

I'm not sure why they bothered to clarify this. Like... keep his story simple.

And what are you people going to do when the old stuff is eventually too old to actually work and all that's left is emulation and repros?

And you know damn well that not everything will make it to virtual console just like not every VHS tape made it to DVD and Bluray and so on so there goes that cop-out.

[Lord of Pirates]

Not buy it. Virtual console is crap.
