Did anyone else pick up Guacamelee? Always wanted a physical release of that one.

Of course I did! I got it Friday. Then I popped it in and realized I already had the digital.

Just learned of this:

I'm on board for the concept but holy fuck at that price tag. Seriously if this was the trilogy of SNES releases on one cart maybe.

So it is just the regular version of SF2?

Seems like it. I can't say I'm down with the concept of spending $90 on a fancy box.

don't forget the ultra rare variant shell that you can buy from aliexpress for a quarter.

I have a complete sf2 I can sell ya half price, only $50!

The thought of complete set collectors turning in their frameless beds at night over this and the prospect of more things like it brings me warmth and light.

So, $100 for a repro cart? I thought the whole point of reproductions was too buy insanely expensive games for reasonable prices? We've now come full circle in the world of video game collecting hysteria.

The only thing going for it is that it's licensed. I can get behind that.
But I'm not spending 2-3x what an original copy goes for just to give Capcom some MORE money for frickin' Street Fighter II.
