retrousb no longer makes repros

[Rx_79]

I dont know if this is old news or not, but I just found out that you can no longer get Mr. Gimmick, Star Ocean or Tales of Phantasia repros from retrousb.  It looks like they are only going to make carts for homebrew games.  I was hoping that one day they would do a Sweet Home repro but I guess thats not going to happen. I am just glad I got Mr. Gimmick, Star Ocean & Tales of Phantasia when I did.

wow that's a shame, I'm so glad I got Mr. Gimmick from them...I love the game so much but it's so hard!

Yeah, sad to see that they won't be making repros any more. I missed the boat on Mr. Gimmick!, but thankfully I've found another site who are willing to make it, should I ever decide to pull the trigger on it.

Yeah bit sad.
I'm glad I own genuine mr. Gimmick SCN CIB (+repro English manual, made by one member here).

I want to get Mr. Gimmick myself. However, the Famicom version has an extra chipset for sound not included with repros. If you compare the sound of the repros vs. the original Famicom version, there's no comparison.

did they ever give out a reason?

[madrocsz]

Hopefully they still sell homebrews. Maybe they got out of repros simply due to the competition these days.

Also, completely waiting for Arseen censoship all over these posts lol

i notice this back when i was about to order Star Ocean and Tales. There stopped making them is there any place where i can order these

[wiggy]

Hmmmm, opportunity...

[BadChad]

Damn, I already got my Mr. Gimmick. But I didnt get a chance to grab myself a copy of Star Ocean.

[sniperlobster]

I need them to get Battle Kid 2 back in stock already

[madrocsz]

Wanted a copy of gimmick myself, actually had ordered it to later receive email from them saying it was out of stock. Battle Kid 2 I just flat out missed, want a copy as well lol

[TyrannicalFascist]

Ah man, did I miss getting Vs. Super Mario Bros?

[Dr.Agon]

apparently, according to the nintendo age post where he announces this, any game you see that has an ETA is still going to be made,

vs. smb dont...

[TyrannicalFascist]

I read through that thread and it seems there is conflicting information regarding Vs SMB, but a couple people believe it is returning along with the other VS games. It's a bummer that SMB2j is gone. I understand it was one of the closest repros to the original FDS game.
