Super Fight Team, the company behind the release of the game, has partnered with the game’s original developers to release the game on SNES with a fully modern $60+ price-tag.

Of course, you could just as easily (and much more cheaply) fire it up in an emulator and play the game in your browser.


The sickening part of all this is that it costs a shitload of money to run a small series of cartridges. Anyone saying "$60? That's what SNES games USED to cost!" is a moron. (Not that Erik Kain is saying that or anyone else.) Not only because of inflation, but because cartridges are so expensive.

Well, the sickening part is that Penny Arcade honestly thinks they are employing the one guy keeping game journalists honest. This is semi-sickening.
