OUR RE-RELEASES

Our library of games continues to grow with beloved titles, hidden gems, and even some new indie games. Our goal is to provide value to any collection. Whether you're an old-school collector or someone who wants to experience classic gaming, we don't want you to miss out on our next re-release!  When we release a game, it needs to be special.  Those who purchase any title can expect the following:

  • Each release is given special attention down to the details
  • The manuals are totally redone and printed in full color
  • All Nintendo® console releases now get hardcover game boxes that protect the contents from wear and tear
  • All SEGA Genesis®/Mega Drive releases are released in plastic game boxes - just like the originals
  • At times pack in extras such as stickers, posters, figurines, or toys
  • Each release comes with a certificate of authenticity declaring the numbered release of its total production run
  • Each game is thoroughly tested to function on both original and most 3rd party clone consoles
  • All PCBAs have high-quality engineered diagrams that are reviewed by seasoned professionals
  • We utilize 5-volt chips on our NES®, SNES®, and SEGA Genesis®/Mega Drive boards to prevent console damage
  • Cross-region support for NTSC and PAL consoles where applicable, including region-specific cartridge shells for SNES® titles
  • Battery-backed saves when the title requires them
  • Beveled insert points and rounded corners for cartridges to prevent damaging console slots and contact pins
  • Special printing on the boards that pay tribute to the title
  • New translations and edits to update legal disclaimers in-game
  • Maintain the integrity of the gameplay even when making changes
  • High-quality screws and labels that punctuate the look and feel of a brand new game

W will put special attention to any improvements we can make from the original release without negatively impacting gameplay.

  • New codes- At times, we may enable a new code or mode
  • Hidden content - We might enable previously hidden content if it does not impact the game negatively
  • Game fixes - If possible, we may implement fixes with the licensor's approval to improve the performance
  • Translations- We localize our releases should translations be needed for both the games and manuals
