For the folks out there who can still lay hands on a working Super Nintendo system, good news: there's a new game slated to come your way next year.

Development, publishing, and production company Super Fighter Team are calling Nightmare Busters a "masterful run and gun game for the Super Nintendo, Super Famicom and all compatible video game systems." The last new SNES game released in the United States was a Frogger remake in 1998, almost 14 years ago.

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.
