Title: Holy Diver and R Type Returns
Post by: Megatron on April 22, 2018, 12:46:07 AM

Not sure if anyone has talked about this yet, but CastleMania games has preorder links for Retro Bit's Holy Diver for NES and R Type Returns for SNES.
As of this original posting (4/21/18) both are still available for preorder.
I know that roms are available, but $60 isn't bad for a physical copy that seems to come with a bunch of goodies.  I am especially hopeful that the Holy Diver is a quality cart, and not a cheap knockoff.  Sadly, R Type looks like a S-Fami shell.

*NB*
Because these aren't repros, but rather a unique project, something closer to what Wiggy would put out (with likely far less quality than RCG, but still) I don't think this post violates the "no repro store link" rule. If I'm wrong feel free to delete the post with my apologies.

I heard about these back when they were originally put up for pre-order.  Holy Diver intrigued me but I ended up passing on it.  Now, someone else is doing a re-release of Majyuuou and you better believe I got that pre-ordered since the original is expensive as hell now.
