@gingerbeardman You don't find it "odd" or "strange" because it has been explained to you several times what is happening here, but you clearly just see "AI BAD" and feel you must jump in to "own the luddites." What is actually strange is how this nuanced, practical approach to dealing with AI agents acting autonomously and breaking their software is just so massively confusing to you that you can't comprehend why anyone would ever do something like this despite it being spelled out for you in black and white. Would a bullet point list with bold headings work better for you?

@James-Bond I agree Miyamoto is a much more varied and talented designer (the ideas in Super Mario World, A Link To The Past, and Pilotwings are very different, for example, while MGS is the same thing again and again.)

Also, Mr. Kojima claims to be obsessed with movies, and yet Miyamoto has actually seen many of his games become great movies (the latest and greatest example being, of course, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie).

Interesting there are no red sneakers in this collection! In all seriousness, I'd have to imagine if Nintendo did a similar partnership it would be with a larger, more recognizable brand like, for example, Nike.

Very exciting! I have always felt, whatever the technical specs, that the SNES was superior to PCE and most likely could even render more parallax backgrounds etc. The use of additional hardware inside of SNES carts, however, I do not see as a limiting factor but rather smart modular design that proves the SNES is one heck of a powerhouse of a home console.

Thank goodness we soon had the SNES (which more than double or tripled the number of parallax layers that could be displayed behind the action of the game).

If this person every goes to prison he can take this with him, since in prisons all electronics are required to be see through like this in order to prevent prisoners from hiding things like shanks and drugs inside of them.

You'll never find me complaining about a homebrew port, especially when something is brought to the SNES (although, many homebrew developers fail to utilize the full power of the system, by neglecting things like, for example, the large number of parallax layers the SNES can handle when compared to contemporary hardware from its generation.)

Nothingburger. Who cares about war and politics, I would rather focus on games, and in particular my favorite SNES

Lots of wise entrepreneurs here! Before I start my next venture I will definitely checked with this comment section first, they all must own thriving small businesses.

@slider1983 Very good point! I agree that politics should stay out of gaming. Can't we all just get along?

Wish we could just talk about games we like but of course here comes the political debate. Video games shouldn’t be political.

I find it hard to have much sympathy for anyone who backed this project, as I believe there were clear indicators that it was a scam very early on. I guess I could say shame on timeextension for promoting and giving free press to this just for the laughs, which I'm sure resulted in real orders for them. If it had been a "Super Nintendo" I can see myself being tempted to hope it would be real...

Very cool! I'm glad to see the SNES version of this title getting some love, although I am not certain I see the need to add violent displays of blood. I imagine that would appeal more to the Sega Mega Drive crowd.

The SNES already had many advantages over the Mega Drive (with more parallax layers etc) so it's interesting to see even many years later a new advantage has been discovered! I am being facetious, of course, it is always better to experience games as originally intended. I am grateful for the many ways I have to now enjoy my large collection of SNES titles but hope to be able to continue to use my original hardware.

Very interesting… always nice to see more love for the SNES. While I am not interested in playing a wrestling game, I hope this gets more people interested in the Super Famicom.

Even though the SNES has been discontinued for over 25 years, I had hoped to add a new cart to my extensive collection. I am, however, of course very excited to see the localization of another Japanese Super Famicom title. There is not enough love for Nintendo and I have noticed that the Sega Mega Drive tends to garner more interest from the retro gaming community, despite it not being capable of producing nearly as many parallax layers as the SNES.

I feel the SNES would have been a better choice for a 16-bit conversion like this, as it has the capabilities to produce more parallax layers than the Mega Drive for example.

Pretty neat. I do not understand how the development of FPGA "cores" is accomplished, but I appreciate that things like this allow new audiences to experience great retro systems like the SNES on modern TVs.

I personally am not a fan, but I would understand if those who prefer SEGA products would enjoy this sort of thing.
