Huh, that's cool, didn't know that. Great game obviously, you'll enjoy it.
I do have a Snatcher Sega CD image, wanted to beat it after Popful Mail, but I never got back around to playing with the Kega emulator. It's on the backlog, and an important part of gaming history, I should make the time for it eventually.
Yeah it's fantastic. I played a couple hours before I knew it. The game is pretty intuitive too, and it isn't difficult to progress.
As for Snatcher I will just say that normally I don't have a ton of patience for vns. And, I'm sure some would classify it as an adventure game, but I think it's much closer to a vn. Regardless the point is I ended up finishing the game in 2 and a half sittings (first sitting I ran through the first part, then I played some more a couple days later, had to go do some other stuff but left the system on and got right back to finishing it). It was better than I expected going in and kinda feels like a decent sci-fi movie.
I was unaware of that as well. I doubt there is anything different game play or sprit wise. However it does make me want to get a CIB copy as I like the box art. And now it will be playable.
Which. Wait. When did a CIB copy of super metroid for the famicom become a $70 game? I remember motto long ago you could get a lot of super famicom CIB games for $70 WITH super metroid Mario kart and so forth. Man five years later and prices spiked.
Yeah I would be the games are identical aside from the physical differences with the cart.
The art is great. The price should be closer to $50, that's what it was valued at in trade at least. I did a fair bit of fun trading recently. Got rid of my Nomad that I never really used with some Genny games for a SNES mini, SM CIB and Nosferatu loose cart. Buuuuut anyway yeah Japan is basically getting strip mined of their games by game hungry US and EU gamers. As the game sales fly the stock dwindles and the prices increase. Fortunately with a game like SM a ton of copies were made, so a Japanese loose cart should only be like $20-25 instead of whatever awful price a US cart commands.
