It was the most expensive thing club nintendo ever sold it cost 1000 points with full price gamecube games only having roughly 30 points per code slip you can see just how many games you'd need to buy to get one. Suffice to say back then i was keeping them more than supported with purchases lol.

Had a quick blast on Fighters History already, which seems neat! Back when I actually had a SNES, limited budget meant that you had to be very selective about how many fighters you could play, and pretty much everyone going would steer you straight down the middle of the road with your Street Fighters and Mortal Kombats. It's funny to come back and find out that while not perfect, these were actually pretty fun in their own right.
Not generally a fan of retro-bit's work, but was willing to give them a shot for Undercover Cops given how daft the resale market is for the original.

I get what you mean totally and only started exploring other fighters in the naughties. Back then it was all about World Warrior (later Turbo) and MKII. In fact between those two titles, SMK and NBA Jam that’s all we would play round my SNES owning mate’s house. Great days!!
I never knew Retro-Bit had a reputation with their re-releases but the R-Type Collectors’ Edition I got recently was fantastic quality.Last edited by samanosuke; 10-12-2021, 18:42.

Never ends might have to relax after the next thing arrives
Boy is this one under appreciated, at first glance doesn't look like much but has some beautiful moments and the soundtrack is excellent. If you've tried in the past and passed over it, try again. Is on one of the taito legends if I recall.

Googling reveals some spice coloured knockoff Wavebirds but I can't find any evidence of an official one (at least in 5 seconds of GIS research).
However I did see this which is friggin awesome:
Gundam Wavebird! Did not know about that.

Only other limited wavebird colour that was officially released besides the silver ones & the original grey was the half blue & half white club nintendo branded one that one you could buy with points.
Man i miss the proper club nintendo so bad they released some amazing stuff. all mine is now carefully boxed up in storage.
