Re: Street Fighter Vs. TMNT Action Figure Sets Launching Later This Year

@Sonos The necks and scratched shells are not the problem. The heads (what's up with those faces - looks like a charicature of a sex offender and a dinosaur) are clearly the worst. Then you throw in the strange body types and the combination of different incarnations of the turtles (L/R/D/M on the belt, blue/red/purple/orange headbands but black (wtf?) paddings), and you get this. It's neither here, nor there.

@fafonio Hacking the mini seems to be the way to go. Between the mini and NSO/Switch, the best SNES games that are missing seems to either be owned by Square Enix (CT, FFIV, ActRaiser, Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time/Gaia, Secret of Evermore), Konami/Hudson (Super Bomberman, Mystical Ninja, Axelay) or licensed (TMNT, Magical Quest).

@fafonio Sure, the DS one is less expensive. It's still an enhanced port, though (though most seem to agree this one actually is an enhancement).

Still, in 2022 you'd think you could buy one of the best games ever (in its original form), and play it on current generation consoles on your big screen TV. This game don't need enhancements to look or sound beautiful.

@fafonio The original SNES game costs around $200USD in eBay (plus shipping and import taxes). The PlayStation version is expensive as well (and have several differences from the original). The Wii version was a true port, but not available anymore. The iOS version and the Steam version are terrible. So, one true port in 25 plus years since release.

@MJF There are not alot of legal ways of playing Chrono Trigger, no.

Meet the Beatles has been reissued in stereo and mono several times, on several different formats. (I'm guessing the OG mono LP is expensive as Meet the Beatles isn't really a canon album by The Beatles, but some American invention.)

@MJF I can just play the originals, but paying $200USD plus shipping plus import taxes (plus a North American Super Nintendo) for playing Chrono Trigger (as an example), shouldn't be necessary. If the only way to listen to The Beatles was by buying the original LPs from the 60's on eBay or listen to remakes done by some schmuck, there would be riots.

@NintendoWife It was released on the Wii Virtual Console, which sadly is history now. That's it. (Not counting the enhanced DS re-release, which also is costly, or the terrible Steam port).

Square Enix have a terrible track record in the «let's make our classic better» in my opinion. Trials of Mana, Actraiser Renaissance, all the visual «upgrades» on the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games etc.

@NintendoWife The problem being that even though «the originals are always there in some form», the only way for me to (legally) play, say Chrono Trigger, is to buy the used SNES game from eBay, with all the costs (for me, the cost of a US SNES as well as import costs) and extra work (cables to hook it up to newer TVs etc.) needed for that to work. I wouldn't mind remakes and remasters it the originals also were easily available, which never is the case with Square Enix.
