I'm honestly surprised none of the big console makers like Sega or Nintendo, have considered re-releasing their old titles on cartridge, or even better, comission new titles using their IPs, in some sort of vinyl revival. As people would go made over it! Also a legitimate way to buy games that are way out of the price range of most collectors in the used game market.
Since they want to sell NSO online instead it seems… Can you imagine getting those cards bundled with NSO time codes? That would actually be a neat combo to warrant a higher price point, too. Like I remember some time or money code cards having unique covers. Paying like 30-50 bucks for a replica bundled with a time code sounds kind of interesting.🤔
I think the reason console manufacturers don't do this (or most second/third parties too) is because it would likely be too expensive and not sell well. Retro game collecting is already a niche thing and most people who are interested in playing older titles would probably either play them through a service like nso, through a rerelease on a console/pc store, getting a remastered or remade version, or through compilation titles.
Yeah if they made it full price people wouldn’t buy it because they would argue it’s just NES roms tied with a pretty bow Half pricing it doesn’t make people do that for some reason
Yeah, have to agree. I would have preferred to pay 40 bucks, but also get NES Remix style bonuses, but since it's speedrun focused only, 30 bucks is okay, 20 would have been even more insane, but I can see why they wanted to go 30 instead. But apart from that, still went with the Deluxe just for the bonuses alone (I'm not sure I would have bought the game alone).
the coolest part of the deluxe set is the fact that we got scammed here in the West while Japan has a deluxe set with two WORKING famicom NSO controllers
I loved NES remix so when I heard this was coming and putting a speedrun twist on those classic challenges, complete with online leaderboards to compete with other people I knew I had to pick this up asap! the deluxe edition extras were the icing on the cake. that NWC NES gold cart was freaking sweet and I had to display it up on my games shelf.
I have a love/hate thing for this release. One the one hand. It’s GREAT to have the NWC brand back. It’s no longer this obscure event that happened years ago. The challenges are good modern updates. Your scores are posted online, and the deluxe set (for the most part) is pretty cool. But on the other hand. It is just a rebranded NES Remix. The art cards are useless. The replica cartridge is cool but useless (the pins you can at least use those). They should have included the full games to these challenges, but worst of all. They missed a GOLDEN opportunity. They should have included the original challenges from the events. (EPIC FACE PALM). So I’m really torn on this.
I picked this game up two days ago. The Gamecube was the first Nintendo console my family had so I don't have any NES nostalgia, but I'm having a ton of fun in spite of that. The NES replica cartridge was such a cool touch. I was wondering what was inside, if anything at all. Perfect timing.
I bought 2 of these box sets. 1 for displaying all the cool stuff and one to keep sealed :P I know it's a bit dum but yeah I never do this but for this game, I just had to!
Awesome video. That is a beautiful collection. I would definitely love to see if a homebrew board of NWC could fit in that shell and be used with a real NES.
you should definitely make a video putting the actual rom in the cartridge. It's a project I'm also interested in doing and would definitely love to follow along with a guide from you!
sorry to say it, but I feel as though you got scammed… in Japan they have a Deluxe set which has basically the exact same stuff but instead of the gold cart they give you two working Famicom NSO controllers
@@gamingcornerpodcastat least the value will increase if you keep it for decades from now. If you want to make even more money, I suggest you buy the Japanese edition too. Combination of them would be at the thousands.
Hey, I can't find anything more on the new carl update. I'm definitely looking forward to it. Just curious, are there going to be new levels? Either way I'm excited! Also looking forward to whatever future projects you have.
id love to see a Short or something of different NES and Famicom PCBs going in the case, it doesnt look like there would be space for the actual pins, but i would still like to see video of it being fiddled with, yknow?
Wooow. Incredible! The deluxe set is also worth it and I have to yet pick up the game. I would like to see a rom hack with that golden cartridge. Probably those types of cartridges that have many games in it?

I've seen John Riggs already do that custom job, and while it does work, he had to dremel the heck out of it to make it fit, Even more so because of the dip switches.
So glad I managed to get a Deluxe version for those glorious pins and the cartridge along with the game. Not so glad that it was exclusive to EB Games.
Maybe you could test out the cartridge, but I am worried if it's a different plastic and might wreck the outer shell being heated up from a game playing... But yeah... I might have to pick this up myself too..Still deciding...
Honestly, if i had money to blow on random stuff I would definitely buy two of these just so i could actually put a board into one of the cartridges. Idk why, but i want it to be an actual playable cart. I guess what im saying is, yes I want to see a video like that haha
I saw a video where someone took the NWC game board and stuck it in this gold cart, he used a Dremel for the dip switch cutout. Would you ever consider doing the same with yours?
This version is cool, but it's a shame we didn't get something closer to the Japanese version that came with two Famicom controllers instead of the replica cart.
Makes me wonder… one could probably just replicate the stand, but leave a space in the middle for the actual connector on a real cartridge. * _Urge to get a laser cutter intensifies_ *
There’s also a Japanese SPECIAL edition of the game, which is way cooler than the ‘Deluxe set’, so I definitely recommend it! It does however come with the Japanese version of the game (obviously), so keep that in mind
Someone did the mod and seemingly found that one of the stands was placed wrongly. However, since he used a badly modded cartridge as the source and template and used a dremmel despite admitting that his dremmel skills were nil, the thing looks pretty amateurish DIY.
the game with no special stuff is 30$, but forced digital, but the physical edition is forced special edition which means 60$, the price of the average nintendo game, for the physical game, 5 pins, an NES cart, the stand for the cart, and some cool double-sided cards.
Better to use and display something like this. It'd have no purpose other than a bad investment otherwise. Considering the amount of time needed for it to appreciate that it'd have to be kept safe and it might not even appreciate along with inflation.
