Nope, the prototype floating around is still missing a lot of the game. There's a proper final version at Nintendo:

He later added that "the game was about 95 per cent complete" and that the developer finished it anyway, going so far as to make it "fully QA'd through Mario Club."
The amusing thing is that it even passed certification despite having been cancelled.Quote:
"There are a few ROMs on the net in various conditions," Cuthbert told NintendoLife. "But the ones I checked out are all old and they don't have the randomising Rogue-like stuff working or all the encounters in place, so you don't really get the feel of the game we were making."
Yeah, I want to tell Nintendo to go fuck themselves with this thing ... but I also want it.
I couldn't have said it better.Quote:

...Yeah. I'm getting two of these fuckers first chance I get. Not to scalp it. But to get my last chance of acquiring a Classic NES Mini as an even trade down the line.Quote:
Reggie Fils-Aime:
"What happened with NES Classic is that was a situation where the global demand was well in excess of anything we had anticipated, and that’s what created shortages. The good news, at least for consumers in the Americas, is we’re going to continue to make the NES Classic available. With the ongoing level of supply, the ongoing demand is going to be met. We know the concern."
If there is indeed a "complete" Star Fox 2 on here (and it does seem to be a real thing, given comments Dylan Cuthbert recently made), then the best thing about this thing will be when hackers dump the completed ROM on the internet, because I'm sure I'll never be able to get one.
It would have been even better if Nintendo had gotten the completed Super Turrican and put it on here. Shame that'll probably never show up at this point in time...
Order more then one. I'm sure you'll not regret it.~Quote:

Licensing is a motherfather. With some imagination, you could figure out with some degree of certainty why certain games never show up in compilations, when you find out who holds the license.
Although I have no interest in these types of things, I will gladly buy one to support the use of previously unreleased roms if they include Argonauts' 3D Mario game that Nintendo ripped off for Mario 64.
What are you talking about? Are you thinking of the 3D Yoshi game they pitched to Nintendo, got turned down and went on to become Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for PS1 and Saturn?Quote:

Speaking of Dylan Cuthbert, sounds like he's just as surprised as the rest of us that this is getting released:Quote:

No word from him if it's the "mastered" version of it. We can only hope. Based on his description it sounds bloody amazing!
For this reason alone I've got pre-order notifications turned on for multiple sites. Though I know all the scalperbots are probably set up on these things well in advance and I'm gonna have a snowball's chance in hell at getting one.
Another cool idea, anothet shit effort by nintendo to get it to the masses.
yeah, vic ireland has made licensing sound like a herculean effort on numerous occasions - also, Super Turrican was unfinished?
