If you don't' mind, what was the good price? Personally most of these games, even the ones I want to get a copy of are just way too much for me even at 'good' prices. Makes me sad.

Yep, that's why I don't seriously collect for SNES.

Quick, somebody sell me a complete boxed copy of Majuu ou for, say, 10% of the market price.
Pretty please, I'll be forever your pal!?

Dang, that's quite a haul!
Most of it was prety cheap.
The expensive ones will be hard to get though (like WG, SR, DX, UCC and so on)
And I don't have to dabble in repro carts. Just put the rom on my everdrive with the iPS applied and voila.
I'm getting the Japanese version of that this week, reason is that I didn't like the dumb changes the US version made. I'll post pics of what I meant. I hope my Sync Strike comes in this week as well.

^I feel like I need to pick up Final Fight 2 one of these days. Maki is one of my favorite character designs in CvS2, even if she's just Guy with tonfas.
I should mention that unless I don't have a choice (like the US version is MUCH cheaper than the Japanese version), I always go with the japanese version of a game. Even for RPGs, I usually just use a translation patch.
My Final fight 2 was 12$ shipped. I won't get FF3 because :
1 - It's awfull
2 - It's incredibly expensive for what it is (a shitty game)

I heard Final Fight Tough was good, just too easy.
Is this a case of regional differences ruing a game?
Just played Final Fight 3 and found it to be trash. I have no idea if the Japanese version is better
Edit : Tbh I only played the VC version on my WiiU
Already have both. Hell I even have the PS3 version

If you're a fan of the arranged soundtrack I guess go for it...
Otherwise, if you're just looking for the arcade experience at home, there are a couple of Capcom compilations it's available on as well ass the GGPO-powered XBLA/PSN version.
It will be my 1st Sega CD game when I get one.
I want to get Final Fight Tough but that price!!!
They lacked the Sega CD version's exclusive content though.=O

Waaaay ahead of you. Hell, it's one of the two games that came with mine. (The other was Kris-Kross: Make My Video. I didn't even touch that one.)
I wonder if the game is actually legit rare in Japan...
I have serious doubt on the validity of some of those prices.
I also have some doubts as to the rarity of Rendering Render 2, Undercover Cops or King of Demons.
I love that soundtrack beyond all reason.
Damn, what a great deal, I want that over Rival Turf!Just scored Rushing Beat for 0.01$ lol (well 4.01 with shipping)

How about knowing that every game you really want now for the system is that high overpriced and is only going to get worse.
Angry American Yoshi should be a thing.
Jumping on the Super Famicom train just means Japanese carts are going to go up to the same ridiculous prices, it's already starting to happen.

Would be so amazing.
Very true, but hopefully it at least allows me to complete my collection for a more reasonable price

so i've asked this before in here, but haven't gotten an answer. is there a good site to go to which details the differences between sfc and snes versions of games? i recently got a sfc and would like to know which games have a "superior" sfc version (and are english friendly as well).

Try HG101. It's by no means comprehensive but they usually mention regional differences.

this might also help ...but of course there are other games mentioned, too.

ok, this is pretty awesome
Insane...US version is usually over 60 bucks and rarely exist online now.I just found Sparkster at a local store for $5.
Yep, I looked it up on my phone before buying. It's weird, they had it under glass where they keep the "rare" games. It must have been mislabeled.

This finally arrived for me today:
Game seems pretty..difficult. Gonna put in some more time into it sometime this weekend.

Weird looking cart. Is that a repro? Or a new game?
It's a repro of a french game which got cancelled by the japanese publisher back in 1995-1996.
It's like a Super Famicom cart and an SNES cart had a weird baby.
I've noticed this past week that some UK sellers have also started to use ebay's Global Shipping Program and as a result also have expensive shipping. And I assume this means I'll have to pay those import charges as well even though I'm also in the EU, since it mentions import charges in the listings (although the listings I've seen so far have been cheap enough to not have any import charges). Fucking hell, now I can't buy games even from the UK?! I guess it's only a matter of time now before Japan joins in on this crap as well.

yeah, lol
reminds me of certain genesis carts that got around regional lockout like Sonic and Knuckles (slim like NA carts, notch on left side like JP ones)

oh fuck no ...how has ebay not gotten some kind of attention for basically being a monopoly since there are no actual alternatives. this is crazy.
