They have an impressive array of NES repros including the Famicom Splatterhouse translated, and Donkey Kong with all four levels! Awesome stuff!

Prices aren't too shabby either.

Famicom Splattehouse translated? LOL! The original game only has
about 4 lines of actual Japanese text in it.

It'll still be nice to play it in English though. Too bad we never got a N.A. release BITD.

Nice they have a repro of the vs smb that version was definitely more diffcult then the nes version.

Personally, i'd rather just build the repros myself, but there's a few that are out of my skill range, namely the vs. games.
that being said, it's pretty cool to see the vs. games on NES carts

I picked up the NWC from these guys a year or so ago for a game tourny night I had at my house. It was a bit pricey, but it was of awesome quality. I may go back for the college championship if I had another tournament night.

Drop me a line any time you want me to "sample" any of your products.

Yeah, that version is frickin' brutal -- and I only passed it on the SNES All-Stars cart, having saves and all. I think I got to the fire power-up like twice in the whole game. Not because there are a lack of fire power-ups, but I couldn't last long enough to get to a fire power up without getting hit once I became Super Mario.

You're thinking of Lost Levels aka SMB2 (J). I think the VS one is the version of SMB1 that would frequently show up in PlayChoice 10 arcade cabs.

Yeah termis is thinking of the lostlevels/jpn smb2.Still vs smb was it's own hardware it was never ran on the PC10.

Ah, that's what I get for not reading carefully.

I actually do recall the vs version too now that I take a closer look at it... IIRC, random little things like certain blocks not being in certain places, etc...

It's a lot harder most of the jumps are longer. Beetles replace Goombas in a lot of places. Warps are in somewhat different places. It's a revised map version of the standard NES release.
