If you still have a functional SNES console, or one of the myriad third-party devices that plays actual SNES cartridges, you probably want to rush out and pre-order this Street Fighter II SNES cartridge, which is a limited edition to celebrate Street Fighter’s 30th anniversary.
The newly manufactured cartridges will number only 5,500 in total, including 4,500 in ‘Opaque Ryu Red,’ and 1,000 in ‘Translucent, Glow-in-the-Dark Blanka Green.’ The cartridges feature the actual original game code, and are playable on NTSC region SNES consoles.
Other things you get in the box include a fancy tri-fold holder, a premium instruction booklet, some ‘retro surprises’ and a fully restored package design.

These are selling for $100 each, which is admittedly almost 10 times more than you’d pay if you picked up a used copy at a local vintage game shop or on Amazon. But it’s priced for collectors, and it’s also officially blessed by Capcom itself, which worked with iam8bit[1] on the release.
These super cool pieces of video game history will start shipping in late November to pre-order customers.
