Nintendo's Satellaview add-on for the Super Famicom was blessed with several download-exclusives which never saw a physical release back in the day, making them particular desirable to collectors and gaming historians alike.
Thankfully, one Satellaview won't be consigned to mists of time for much longer. Japanese company Columbus Circle has announced that it intends to release the 1997 Satellaview release Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero as a physical game, complete with packaging.
The game is part of the wider Shubibinman series, which has seen only one western release - Shockman on the TurboGrafx-16 - with Masaya / NCS handling the publishing duties.
The new version is coming on 30th June 2017. Will you be adding this one to your collection? Let us know with a comment.

How and where will I find this?
@timson72 Play Asia usually carry Columbus Circle stuff.
Oh boy, I love this game! Never thought I would see the day it would come to cartridge!
@Damo thanks mate,is it a limited run thing do you know?
I hope they do this for other Satellaview games
They should do this for more Satellaview games!
How much $$? I've ever heard o this yet should support Super releases......... classic games 4-ever!
Looks cool!
even thought this has been available for 45 years as a reproduction cart, its nice to see a legit one along the lines of what piko interactive is doing.
Awesome. I've never seen footage of the game before. If it's worthwhile I might have to snag a copy.
They named their company after a roundabout in New York City?
This is one of my Super Famicom favorites. You can read my review of this game here: http://rvgfanatic.com/wordpress/index.php/bs-shockman/
BTW, it also made my Top 50 "Obscure Super Famicom Games" list, which can be read here for the morbidly curious:

Fun little 2 player game that feels like a splice of beat 'em up affair and platforming goodness. It's all too easy and short but what fun you'll have. If you like Run Saber, this isn't too far off... like a chibi version of Run Saber almost, but with some sick tag team moves thrown in for good measure.
I'd buy this I liked Shockman.
@timson72 ITS SOLD ON AMAZON JAPAN
yep, pre-ordered already. SFC games in 2017 for the win!
