Retro-Bit Bringing Capcom-Themed Controllers And Jaleco Multi-Carts To Market This Year

Wow, its a Jaleco All Stars SNES Cart! Why yes please!
(shame it is all the inferior US versions, but still...)

Also note the excellent stuff on NES and Game Boy. Jaleco do have the bad rep of making kusoge (look it up) games but I actually rather have fond memories of their stuff.

Might be interested in a European button snes controller. If it happens.

@Shiryu Kusoge (クソゲー Kusogē?) is a Japanese term that refers to bad games. The phrase is a compound of two words: "Kuso" (糞?), or sh**, and "Ge" (ゲー?), the shortened form for "game" in wasei-eigo (ゲーム gēmu?).

The word is used heavily on the internet, especially by users on 2channel and similar sites.

@ThanosReXXX Any company that give the world "Ninja JaJamaru", "City Connection", "Avenging Spirit" and "Rodland" can't be all bad IMO. If only other companies would be as bold as to do the same...

... and speaking o JajaMaru, a real shame that the one that is possibly my favourite SNES Jaleco game didn't make into that multicart.

I wonder if it was Retro Link that didn't want to get the licenses for the superior Japanese versions of the SNES games or Jaleco that didn't want to seel them... will we ever know? Seriously folks, those multicarts are all really good value for money at that price.

Jaleco, sometimes good but never great.

Love the concept (that NES box is glorious!), not in love with the properties so much.

Wait, so that Gameboy 10-in-1 cart is the one that comes with the Super Retro Boy? That actually sounds kind of interesting. If it also plays on my original Gameboy even more so!

I might actually order the Super Retro Boy then. Just as a nice gadget. Anybody know if Retro Bit has a distributor in Europe (The Netherlands specifically)? Or if they ship directly here?

Do the controllers plug to the original Nintendo consoles or just USB?

That Megaman SNES control looks so tempting damn it.

I want that Mega Man SNES controller so badly!

I may pick up that Street Fighter II Genesis controller, too. Fun for fighting games!

@artofmana As a Genesis fan, I'm considering getting the Genesis controller for PC gaming because why not?

That Ryu SNES controller looks incredible!

I'll be all over these multicarts

Wow those Capcom controllers had me droolings, must get one of those this year. The multi-cart seems like a good deal too despite they are pretty much the same games you will find on the Retro-Bit Generations. Of course unlike the Generations, you will be playing these on their native system so that's a good thing. I like that the Super NES multi cart had the entire Rival Turf trilogy in there. Makes me feel better for not owning those games separately as trying to find all three original copies will likely cost you nearly $80-$100 online.

This I can get behind, $20 and all those nice games on there. I could easily see at the least popping for the Gameboy multi-cart. Yet in the end all three are a great deal even if only a few games may connect to someone given what the scalpers have games going for now on the NES and SNES.

I'm interested in those multi-carts and maybe even that Mega Man Controller, if it actually works on the SNES.

the controllers i may get.
i like the fact that the rushing beat series is on one cart. if they werent on wii u vc id get that. and i have rushing beat shura for sfc already as well since its not on any vc service, not even peace keepers.
so for the man who has everything, ill consider those controllers...

I want. And no Whomp em? That was actually a really good and very bizarre game.

All of this looks good, maybe I might get a controller and a game

Might have to get myself a 6 button mega drive pad

@Tempestryke
...ive got a great condition copy if yer interested...

I might consider that multi-cart if it's a legit product.
Avenging Spirit has gone up since the 3DS VC release but with Banishing Racer I'm sure @ogo79 has told them to price it accordingly.

@ogo79

No thanks but appreciate the offer. I have no NES with which to play.

I wonder if they're compatible with the NES Mini?

@Tempestryke
thats a good question

I might get the Megaman NES controller. Also the Super Retro Boy looks sweet. Do you think it will be compatible with the Everdrive X5?

@Shugo You do realize there are already multiple Mega Man compilation collections out there, don't you? Why would Capcom bother making another one just to be able to play them on an NES or NES clone system? Most people don't care about whether or not they're playing retro games on the original system or a more modern system.

@Shugo Yes, there's a retro games boon, but it's mostly for games that can't already be found in modern compilations like Mega Man. It's already cheaper and more convenient that way, so most people won't bother with the NES versions. There will always be some overblown fanatics like you, but there aren't enough to make up a viable market on their own.

I agree that the NES Classic doesn't make sense for those who have already bought a bunch of them on the Virtual Console (which is why I have no interest in it), so the people buying it are those who don't have a Wii or Wii U, don't understand or bother to use the Virtual Console, or have yet to buy many NES VC games yet still want to play many of the other ones included in the collection. Not many people are going to waste a bunch of money heavily double-dipping between the Virtual Console and the NES Classic. They don't even have the argument of getting physical game copies in this case.

@BulbasaurusRex Speaking of Megaman NES compilations, I got a 6-in-1 cart last year from AliExpress. Even had the Nintendo seal blazoned on the box, complete with blurry edges. Totally bootleg, and less than half what it was going for on eBay. They also have a "150-in-1 72-pin" which is extremely good as far as bootleg releases go.

Multi carts like these are pointless. They aren't fun to collect like a single game cart would be, and they're silly when compared to a flash cart, which could easily handle 95% of the SNES library, including every game on that cartridge. There's just no way to design a really nice package around a hodge-podge collection of titles like that. So it'll always look like some sort of Asian bootleg cart, even if it is fully licensed.

Where is killer Instinct that was a classic
