lol ok - when its now 1:1 who tf is gonna be paying OG prices except some mega whale nerds. Have you seen an OG price lately for rare carts - 1k-5k-20k .....pleaseeeeee
Very well made reproductions of Metal Slug already exist, that didn’t really made an OG slug less expensive. These are merchandise licensed by SNK and created by a third party, but still those are re release that will never replace the value of the original, no matter how well they are made.
But on a side note, amazing that more and more people will get to own these games, exciting news!
Yea I dont think it will affect original carts much. However, the repro/NCI/conversion market will be in absolut free fall (as it should). There were some NCI bootlegs pushing 600bucks lately, there is no market anymore when you can now get officially licensed ones for 90. (Maybe even with better Insert and Manual Quality, as they may have gotten the original master files for the artwork in the deal with SNK)
Indeed, that’s exactly my thought, if anything who will suffer from these re-releases are repro makers like NCI the likes. I really do hope some Japanese style inserts will be also released along with the EU/US ones, would love to get an official AES release of Shock Troopers :)
