kobudo Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hi all, I was looking for the old SNES version of Star Fox (loved it as a kid) to complement my used SNES I picked up out of nostalgia at a garage sale last weekend. I was looking through eBay and found this:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270568355958&ssPageName=STRK:MESCX:ITHas anyone ever played this version of the old school Star Fox? Is it worth picking up for a few bucks? I've read a few descriptions (including the seller's), but I wondered if anyone had some first-hand experience with this cartridge. Thanks!

DZComposer Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Super Weekend carts are pretty much a collector's item.The game itself has a time bomb in it, IE after a certain amount of time, it's game over. The goal was to see how far you could go while obtaining as high a score as possible. Prizes were awarded, including some nice jackets. Said prizes are also collector's items.The seller's description is accurate.You'll get more entertainment out of the regular version.They are actually kind of rare. I'd be surprised if that cart doesn't eventually end up going for over $100.My favorite part of this thing is the time up message. The look on Slippy's face is priceless.

CrypticQuery Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Yeah, I'd definitely go with the original. Also, it is USUALLY a bad sign when someone is selling a rare collectors item, and has a stock image of the item, and not actual pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Macdowel Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Anyway you can show us a picture of that? oh and here some details of itThis version of Star Fox was made for use in a one-time competition to promote Star Fox in the US and Europe. Prizes included trips, flight jackets, and smaller prizes such as T-Shirts. Competitions were held at retail outlets all over the US and Europe. When the competition was completed, an undisclosed number of the US cartridges (out of an estimated total of 2000) were sold in Nintendo Power’s catalog. A cartridge will occasionally show up on eBay, where they will normally sell for over $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobudo Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 Thanks for the info, DZComposer and crazyfooinc. I wrote him to ask for a picture, but then I noticed it's already up over $50. That's more than I'm willing to pay for a bit of re-lived youth, and more than I paid for the system. Oh well, it's not like there aren't a bunch of full versions on ebay anyway! I'll leave the other stuff for the collectors. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Anyway you can show us a picture of that? I'm trying to find it, though at this point it appears I may have lost it in a recent reformat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
