I'm not against repros. I do prefer the real thing case in point my recent copy of Earthbound. But if my bud ended up getting a repro of it I wouldn't throw shade their way just because. If they are happy with that more power to them. And I can't ever say I ever seen a pink repro...EVER I didn't even know they made them in that color.

I echo most sentiments in this thread. We've had this conversation before. And I fall in line with most people's thinking on VGCollect about it:

Repros, that are advertised as repros, for stupid expensive games like Earthbound or DuckTales 2, are good IMO. Because it allows people to be able to own a game they might not otherwise be able to obtain. I feel the same for repros for games that may have never gotten a physical release, such as Mega Man: The Wily Wars or Golden Axe III on Genesis in the U.S.

But it's the knock-offs that are sold as if they are real copies, and are used by shady sellers, those are the ones no one wants to see.

But overall I try to avoid repros when it comes to original games that come out. What about you guys?

I especially like having original Famicom carts modified with the English translation patch.

I did this with my Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light cart and was about to with my Mother cart, but EarthBound Beginnings came out so I never did.

There are literally dozens of Fami games that have fan translation patches, many of which are actually worth playing.  ;)
