Nightmare Busters: An upcoming game for the SNES. Wait, what?

Yeah. This team is seriously making a physical SNES game, slated for release in 2013. And apparently, it's their goal to continue making games for old systems, like the Genesis and Lynx.

60 bucks is probably pretty steep for a game, period, let alone one on an old (but good) system, but I imagine I'll wind up buying it for the sheer novelty of it all.

And they're taking pre-orders for the first 600 units.

Awesome is all I have to say about this. XD Guess I'll be picking up an SNES Portable pretty soon.

Yeah, I don't see this selling much.

Selling a ROM image for ten bucks would make more sense, although it would probably be pirated all to hell.

But the cartridge will be too, so...

60 dollars is basically due to the cost of the cartridge, I suspect. They certainly won't have to pay Nintendo licensing fees nowadays, especially since from what I understand that was mostly for the B.S. "seal of approval" (which basically just allowed the company to advertise it as being compatible with the SNES. Tengen was the only company that never bothered to pay the fees, but then again they never produced for the SNES from what I remember, just the NES).

Tengen made the 2P Tetris game which Nintendo sued them for. I wonder why they didn't pay the fee...

Still, $60? Sorry, but they may want to a $20 or $30 price range and make it up in bulk.

Because there are so many working SNES systems out there.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha

$60 dollars is ridic cheap for a run size of 600, anyone paying $60 dollars for the novelty of buying a newly built SNES cartridge in 2012 is gonna just as easily pay a few hundies.

Or about 90 of todays dollars after adjustments
 

$60 for a new SNES game now is cheaper than the cost of a brand new SNES game in the golden years of the system.

Which was also $60

Don't forget inflation.

There better be cake with this game too!

Check the post title, that was the point I was making.
