Repro carts are just the same as owning a rom. It's a nice personalized display piece nothing more nothing less. fan translations and games that were never released in a certain region even for those I would say the same. It's nice to have but you can just play them on a flash cart for the same experience not to mention that for the games that are worth it usually even the japanese releases do not have much language anyways except for the rpg's. there is no original release but the roms are available for original consoles most with englishes patches the same roms wich are used for those reproductions. Repro's are just the same like those custom made boxes to store carts It's just a personal desire people fooling themselves to having the real thing or an original release in our region wich it is not. Nothing against it personally except for the very good repro's that can fool people even for the cheaper games. |

I just recently bought my first repro of a Japanese only release. Im thinking of getting games to fill a space in my collection of games i could never possibly afford as long as thay are clearly identified as reproductions. but im not sold on the idea yet. |

I got repro of a Japanese game, Samurai Pizza Cats for NES that had been translated to english. Other than that, not quite sure about it although I agree that they should be labeled as such. |

I think I'm with most others here. I was contemplating buying a Retron 5, getting Japanese carts, then loading patches, but lately I have just gone the repro route. I have the Mother 1+2 with English patches (though the Mother 2 is incomplete) and Mother 3. I specifically chose the carts that were bright clear red (like Pokemon Ruby) to announce that they are repros. Just seems right, and I can play it on my original hardware. I'm thinking about doing the same with Seiken Densetsu 3 and Golden Axe 3. On the other hand, I have also been burned by repros. Thought I was getting a sweet deal on a Final Fantasy VI Advance. I was even fooled by the case. Went back to it three months later and opened it up on a whim and found the black glue globs. The label was perfect, but the "Game Boy Advance" relief on the front of the cart is definitely "off". So, I'm all for the "clearly labeled" or announced repro route, but am now hyper vigilant about everything else. Anyone have recommendations for repros that would be worthwhile? I.e. games that are wicked expensive in your region or were never released? |

I agree with you guys in the sense that as long as reproductions are used for good and not evil. I currently only have one and its Terranigma. I had never played it everyone said it was amazing and it was never officially released here. They were right, its awesome! Its a case a we're its the only way to play on my SNES. The next one I'm considering is Seiken Densetsu 3 with an english patch. My kids and I play Secret of Mana on SNES so I know Seiken Densetsu 3 would be well received. |
