SuperFC to save $
Blumpkin:
I just can't get over the language barrier, no matter how much cheaper a Japanese version might be.
I know that the RetroN 5 will play FC/SFC carts, but I suspect those emulators to go forever unused on my console.
English translated repros on the other hand, I'm willing to give a shot.

But some games on the Sufami had an english translation on the cart, like Super Metroid

I have this weird compulsion to have the game in cart form even though I do have a hacked wii that I can play on.
I finally reached a decision last night and went with the snes Demon's Crest cart at about double the cost of the sfc version. It feels a little crazy to spend so much more, but I really want the game, English and in cart form, and there's no cover for Demon's Blazon available. Demon's Blazon isn't exactly cheap, so not understanding the text and not having a proper case for the game will drive me nuts.
There is a pretty awesome looking cover for the sfc version of Dracula X and there wasn't too much text in a play through I watched. If the price remains at a 1/3 of the snes version at some point I'll probably go with a sfc copy of the game in addition to my digital copies. http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=9350

I do this every now and then. For example, I have Mega Man X2 / X3, Megaman 7 and Hagane as SFC versions. All super expensive as original NTSC carts. I'm gonna try and get games like Super Ghouls'n'ghosts and Demon's blazon as well, since there's not much text there.

Super G&G isn't really that pricey. I saw a copy at a local shop for $15 yesterday.
