It feels a bit weird saying this, but a developer called Super Fighter Team will be releasing a brand new SNES game next year. Called ‘Nightmare Busters’, this “run and gun” title is apparently the first SNES game to be released in the US since 1998.
It’s not cheap though. Including postage you’re looking at $68 for the US, and $75 for the rest of the world. For that you get:
One (1) copy of Nightmare Busters for the Super Nintendo; a game cartridge with full color label, which supports both PAL and NTSC based systems.
One (1) full color instruction manual.
One (1) full color cardstock box to house the game cartridge and instruction manual.
The run is limited, with 600 being made, so if you fancy it head to the site now and see if you’re in luck. Paying upfront might seem a bit risky, though.

Hmmm, wonder if Game will sell it ;-)

This news is quite misleading.
Super Fighter Team don’t create original games — they translate Chinese/Japanese games that were never sold overseas. Sometimes they secure belated rights for games that were almost finished but shelved at the last moment.
Nightmare Busters was a Super Famicom game by Nichibutsu which was announced in 1995 but got cancelled when Nintendo abandoned the console. This is not a “brand new game” so to speak, as preview samplers were available back then.
