Well this showed up in my mailbox the other day pretty much exactly
13 months from the date I ordered it.
Quick Review:
Build quality is super solid and I commend them for delivering such a good package in the end. The cartridge shell is brand new and custom imprinted with Super Fighter Team badging, manual was crisp, and the tray looked pretty good. Two edges on the tray had been pushed in from what I'm assuming was the cart moving around during shipping, but I was able to pull them back out easily enough.
I played the game for quite a bit last night and it looks very good graphically, overall gameplay is a bit weak in my opinion. The game has some very cheap enemies and scenarios that can get frustrating fast. One part has you falling down a pit with stuff coming from all over the place with not very much time to react, and seems to encourage needing to memorize exactly where you need to be on every bit of the screen. (Think of the falling levels in Mega Man 2 with the instant-kill lasers).
I was playing on easy mode and had fun, but there were times where it seems like you would just get stuck in a loop of continual deaths. The power ups were also a cool addition to how the game played, but I would not play this one without a controller that has a turbo option.
Overall:
Package: A
Gameplay: B/B-
