Let me see how much money I have in my wallet. I don't know what the conversion will be to my currency.

 

[Elwiwi]

Do they even work as a regular cartridge?

check out how much they cost on The Repo - $0.00

.That's actually cheap! I wonder if it comes with a free gift.

seems to be just the following:

blue clamshell packaging with premium foil embellishments , full colour premium instruction manual + poster

Parece ser exatamente o seguinte:

Embalagem clamshell azul com detalhes em foil premium, manual de instruções premium totalmente colorido + pôster.

Well, thank you for the explanation, sorry for my joke, and it's good to see you again.

Yeah, I saw those, it's weird. They're definitely just flash reproductions like everyone else. You can find sites that'll sell you those exact cartridges in fancy shells like that for a third of the price. It's wild they're drawing attention to it lol

Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained this and everything else the world had to offer.
And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place. Now you just have to find it!"

These words lured men to the Grand Line, pursuing dreams greater than they'd ever dared to imagine.
This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era!

Come on board and bring along
All your hopes and dreams
Together we will find everything
That we’re looking for

One Piece

Compass left behind
It’ll only slow us down
Your heart will be your guide
Raise the sails and take the helm

That legendary place
That the end of the map reveals
It’s only legendary
Till someone proves it real

Through it all
Through all the troubled time
Through the heartache
And through the pain
Know that I
Will be there to stand by you
Just like I know you’ll stand by me

So come on board and bring along
All your hopes and dreams
Together we will find everything
That were looking for
There is always room for you
If you want to be my friend

We are!
We are
On a cruise!

We are!

It's just another trap for nostalgic fans of the franchise
Why we go and paid for a cartridge these days?
Go and emulated that

Sega think they're bigger than they are.

Those aren't games, they're just glorified collectibles.

Exactly, even the fake cartridge with a ring inside was a better deal.

 

[ThunderBoy]

Do they even work as a regular cartridge?

Yes, they are fully functional cartridges.

What I'm not sure about is whether they'll work on European Mega Drives.
Supposedly, these “cheap” cartridges are Genesis versions.

 

[BrawlMan]

Sega, get off your asses and do something actually useful. You got some good things going on; stop screwing up with this nonsense.

 

[IamtheWalrus]

You can get those two in particular for owning physical media for cheaper...
like just one search on Ebay, Sonic The Hedgehog (1991) is $10 (plus shipping) and for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992) is $15 (plus shipping). $25 in total plus shipping and taxes.
also, sorry, but as much as I loved the first 2 games, they'll never be worth $100 each. Not even Nintendo was this retarded with FireRed and LeafGreen for the Switch.

 

[Tortuga]

Imagine paying 100$ for a video game for a 35 years old video game

This is not even sega, im8bit is another scumbag company that sells extremely overpriced goods, sega is not even retweeting this, though obviously it has to be approved by them
Anyway this is a massive scam since those cartridges not even going to work on megadrive and you can find real one on ebay for like 15-20$

Well people pay over 100 to 200 to 500 dollar for 20-30-40 year old games and does people are called Nintendo fan boys or video games collectors they got shit load of money and gladly pay does prices.

Man I should have saved all my Nintendo games I owned as a kid then I would be rich today. I mean owned that Flintstones game on NES that today sells for 1600-2000 bucks. Man selling that alone I could get a new graphics card replace my RX 6600 with a RX 9060 XT 16GB Dual.

Collectors are insane.

 

[Tortuga]

Collectors are insane.

Yeah some of those people going get scammed and pay 200$ for an old used game and think they have some sort of higher moral ground over people who download rom

I remember when my older brother sold our ps1 with like 80+ discs for dirt cheap back in the day, it was in original box and all
If i still had it right now, i probably could sell it and buy new PC

All devs are crazy.

It's like an epidemic.

 

[iamthemilkman]

Or just go to a thrift shop or local mom & pop gaming store and buy the OG, not a repro, for $5-$10.

 

[Blamhammer]

People need to stop buying these cash grabs. It’s the only way the companies will quit it with this shit.

99$ for a cartidge from a discontinued console since like 1997?
I think that i'll just use a emulator. Thanks.

 

[JellyjamLu]

They look cool but... 99 buckos each cool?
