--- Quote from: larryinc64 on June 22, 2013, 04:38:00 PM ---To go on a slightly off topic rant: I personally am getting sick of all the retro looking indie games. Ti seems like now its just a gimmick to get there unoriginal games to sell, especially seance most of the games rip off game play or art styles from Mario or Mega Man. It was cool a few years ago when this was new, but now it has been overdone to death. Back on topic: To have a new and original game on a retro platform, or a official sequel would be cool, but incredibly unlikely, retro gaming on retro platforms is a very small market, even smaller for people who would pay $80 for a game, Sega would probably be the most likely to do it. Thay have been licensing some Genesis on a chip systems recently. But making carts and everything would probably cost quite a bit. What ever happened to the Cheetah Men 2 re-release Kickstarter? --- End quote --- I think it died because a) they were asking for too much to get the project going and b) the game is complete and utter crap. Only worth having to say you have it. |

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/343248998/cheetahmen-ii-the-lost-levels According to this, it was funded with well over the goal. Two is on eBay, over $200 each. One is on Amazon NEW for $400, and there a "Special LIMITED Edition" one for $10,000 "Banned in over 75 countries so far, lol" People will buy anything. |

While I don't ever expect any more licensed games, I'm a little surprised that Nintendo hasn't ever made a retro attachment for modern day systems. Sure, they have an online store. But imagine if they made an attachment for the Wii or Wii U that let you plug in old carts. I'm sure that good number of folks would pay extra for an officially licensed product like that. |

What with the rise in popularity of reproduction carts (there's a new store seemingly every time I turn around), I'm rather shocked no one has made new cartridge shells and boards for a variety of the older systems. Sure, there'd be some mild compatibility problems, and I can't imagine them being cheap, but it's not like repro carts are cheap to begin with. With a new cartridge shell reminiscent, but not the same, as the originals, it'd also help to curve the issue of reproductions trying to pass as authentic copies. This is actually something I'd love to do, honestly enough, but lack the resources, both know-how and financial... |

Retro USB has some NES, and I think some SNES shells and boards. The NES stuff is $5 for shells and $4 for boards. |
