Me thinks you should investigate further before making claims about which you know nothing - the reason I had been given a two-week ban, a year or two ago, was due to bring up in a thread that a guy's "translation" repro of a NES game was basically the same as one of the local editors here in Taiwan; the game the guy had "translated" had maybe one or two lines of text, as it was a platformer IIRC and had little Japanese text. I am sorry, but if someone wants to promote his or her wares in a way that is misleading, as to the work he or she did, then I am going to call it out every time. Could I have been more tactiful in my approach, sure, but I also believe in an approach where people (such as myself) should be able to express concerns, should they feel others are being diengenous in what is being said. Perhaps you feel differently, I haven't a clue on that.
Let me ask you this: Why shouldn't this game be included on lists? I am not saying that it should be counted as a necessary title for completion of a set, but I do feel it belongs on any list of SNES games circulating about. Do you object? If so, why? Because it is a cash grab? Because the parts are shoddy, and it is a fire hazard? Such way of thinking is rediculous, that is my point.
The game is not a pirate, it is not a bootleg. It was produced by the owners of said IP, and it isn't even an obscure IP. So how to say that it doesn't belong on a collector list, objectively? This isn't being a smartass, it is in ernst.
Therefore I conclude my case. There is not justification to exclude this one. Even if considered a variant, variants are still usually mentioned on collector lists and worth colleting by some.
Licensed by Capcom, but not manufactured, assembled, or licensed by Nintendo, places it into an awkward spot.
As far as I know Nintendo didn't allow 3rd parties to produce their own SNES carts. Unlike consoles such as Famicom or Megadrive/Genesis.
The spots not awkward, the boundaries are just changing, something that Is natural to happen the further away from the original lifespan of the machine, as contracts end, patents expire, etc.
Many people here have highlighted their opinions as to whether this game will or will not gain value over time, whether it is a worthy product or not, etc.
We get it, many people see it as a cash grab, we get it, many people feel it is overpriced. But why get so negative on these points, ruining it for those who products like these do have merit? I don't have a horse in this race, but if this release were on Famicom, I'd certainly be getting it.
Things like these look good in collections, are fun to talk about, pave the way for better projects later, if well received, etc. But it has to start somewhere, guys.

The whole "list" discussion is not interesting to me at this point and the "fight" over it seems misplaced to me, but I 100% agree with the bolded part. These things are fun for some people, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Wellll I got mine and I'm really happy with it. The box is a bit larger than a standard SNES box -- any suggestions on a box protector that will fit it?

The boundary I'm concerned with is whether the game meets Nintendo qualifications to have been published for the SNES.
Of course it still may very well be an astounding quality release collectors have every right to treasure, but that's separate from what I want to know.

pics! Also I believe Sega Genesis cardboard boxes are slightly larger than SNES. Or maybe it was slightly smaller. I don't remember now

It already did - once. The original was licensed by Nintendo, and had been published on the SNES. Then again, it has been demonstrated time and time again that the licensing was nothing more than a cash grab, things like Videomation prove the point nicely.
The question for which you are seeking an answer simply does not exist, and (imo, no offense) it almost feels as just an excuse to put the game in a limbo state. Here is what I mean: Nintendo does not support the Super Nintendo anymore, it is not manufacturing or publishing carts for that machine. Even if a company had wanted to produce a game (original or reprint), and it was literally 1:1 quality with an original Nintendo release, in terms of materials, do you honestly think it would get a Nintendo approval in this day and age?

He's probably talking about the mismatched logic level voltage issue.
Whoa. Getting way off base now. I'm just skeptical that this edition of the game belongs in the standard definitive list of Nintendo-licensed SNES releases.

I don't think anyone mentioned anything about it belonging on a list of Nintendo-licensed SNES releases. We should save that argument for the recently released Star Fox II game
The game does belong on a complete list of Super Nintendo games though, as more than just a variant.

OK. Still, this warning on their web site should answer your concern about meeting the minimum standards for a first-party product:

Oh so you met Dave?
Heh, right... I think the distance speaks for itself.
I am pretty happy with this release. The box is pretty cool. The item was well protected in shipping. There was a sticker on the shrink wrap that said "Limited to 5500". I carefully peeled that and stuck it on a blank space on the back of the box. I got the red version, which is fine. I would have liked green but obviously I am fine with the red. The inside of the box is red and the dust sleeve says has the Legacy Collection logo. The red plastic feels a little cheap to be honest. Cheaper than say the plastic of an original SNES cart. The description on the back of the cart is a nice touch. The registration card is a nice touch and I wonder if it is legit. The poster insert is great, looks totally old school and has an offer for a free fanny pack. I also wonder if that is legit. The other side is a cool poster. The booklet is great, super detailed and well put together. Almost 40 pages. The board is interesting. Take a look at the photos. There are some markings on the connectors, and I have not put this into a system, so it looks like they may have tested each cart, or at least mine. Overall, I feel like I got my moneys worth here. I could see some collectors not feeling that however. But I bought this to keep because I love Street Fighter and find it to be an extremely unique item, which I love collecting.
Let me know if you guys have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

And a green one which is slightly disappointing in color.

I think it's 'Blanka Green' when it glows in the dark.

The question is if they got other companies IPs or just Capcom.
Anyways, if they do a soccer shootout im buying it

Looks sweet, I really like that box.
anyone able to find a PCB shot of this thing? The unboxer videos I've seen don't like to get naked.
Was wondering this myself.
