Say Hello To The 1st Super Nintendo Game To Be Released In 15 Years, Nightmare Busters
According to Wikipedia, the last Super Nintendo game ever released was Frogger, in 1998. Well, according to Geekology the first game in about 15 years is going to be released for the Super Nintendo. We’re talking, old skool, cartridge, case, and manual. Nightmare Busters was supposedly under development in 1995 but was never finished. It eventually made its way around the internet in rom form, and a game company called Super Fighter Team bought up the rights and are going to release it.
The initial release will only be 600 copies, and the game will cost $68.00. That really sounds like a lot. But to those who remember the good old days, cartridge games wildly varied in price. You could pay upwards of 80 dollars or more for certain games. I’m sure the price being so high also has to do with the extremely limited amount of copies. I don’t know about you guys, but I would love to see more companies go out of there way to make more games for old systems.
We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
