Title: Japanese Super Castlevania IV sample cartridge
Post by: LuxKiller65 on July 31, 2024, 07:36:43 AM

This was sold in march 2023. Apparently it's a non-final SCV4 ROM but I remain skeptical since the game screenshots provided are suspiciously bad. One of them shows the level select feature which is accessible with gameshark codes in the final software, so it doesn't prove anything. Also, the board inside was not shown, which is a huge red spot of suspicion.

Anyway, if you know more, feel free to share here.

Also it doesn't follow konami sample carts of that period, which have their own konami label and an internal game code, sometimes a version and/or a date.

It smells like rotten fish to me, and I feel bad if it was really sold, since I remember the final price was really obscene.

way too much for what is seemingly not a real prototype and not even a real sample cart. can't remember the exact amount in yen.
