Father, former Graphic Designer/current Learning Coach.

I am into retro video games (80s, 90s, 00s), Jaws, Alien, Star Wars (all of it), movie soundtracks, 80's music and Sharks. 😁
. . . (2/2) AND I'd have a cheesy tournament announcer/commentator, similar to Dragonball's, who sounds/acts like the announcer in Street Fighter Alpha 3/Capcom Vs. SNK 2. 😁

If I were making a Street Fighter movie, I wouldn't go for realistic. I'd lean in to the fantastical, like a DC/MCU movie.

Make the fighters super powered people. Have Ryu throwing Hadokens, Blanka's a big green monster, Dictator does the Psycho Crusher, etc. . . (1/2)

(2/2) . . . I bought a translucent "Atomic Purple" shell from Classic Games Alive on Ebay to mimic the new (at the time) purple in SF2T's logo.

The label is a Holo3DFX cart label I bought from @dinierto.bsky.social on Etsy. The look and texture of the label is incredible!

Street Fighter 2 Turbo for the SNES is my second SNES cartridge re-shell.

I wanted to preserve the original cartridge for my copy of SF2T, but make it look good, so I opted for something that uniquely stands out and isn't trying to be deceptive about what it is. . . (1/2)

(2/2) I bought a yellow cart shell from REPROPCBS to mimic the bright yellow of original arcade cab and to differentiate it from the 30th Anniversary cart.

The label is a Holo3DFX cart label I bought from DiniertoDesigns on Etsy. I absolutely LOVE the look and texture of the label!

(1/2) Street Fighter 2 for the SNES is the first cartridge that I've "re-shelled" in my collection.

The original shell and label were in rough shape. I wanted to keep them as they were, but wanted something that looked better.

Looks similar to the good old NES toaster. 😁
It would be nice to also have something with the design of the the top loader so you could see the cartridge art.

The only one I can think of is the SNES/SFC controller. It's button layout is still the most commonly found layout in controllers and handhelds today.

Sure, the Miyoo Mini + has the CAPABILITY to run Contra 4, but there is NO WAY you can actually play the game this way competently. 🤦

Contra 4 uses both of the DS's screens for the playfield, so you'd be getting hit by bullets and obstacles coming from off-screen almost non-stop. 😵‍💫

Okay, this is just Mega Man 2. 😆

Why does screen rant hate Demon Slayer just now?

Are they just trying to be edgy or what? 🤷

Doing what I can to get my fix of fresh #ALIEN content after the end of A L I E N E A R T H's first season. 😭😆

They were great for what they were. 👍

It still annoys me that my favorite Game & Watch game, G&W Super Mario Bros. (YM-105) is largely ignored whenever G&W collections or recreations are released. 😮‍💨

Not having it on the Super Mario Bros. G&W was an especially big missed opportunity. 🤦

Gradius Galaxies is a great game from Mobile21 that feels very mainline adjacent. Some ideas from previous Gradius games are used here, But in new ways that are refreshing.

The only thing I can really complain about is the music, but that has never been the GBA's strong suit.
