I find it hard to have much sympathy for anyone who backed this project, as I believe there were clear indicators that it was a scam very early on. I guess I could say shame on timeextension for promoting and giving free press to this just for the laughs, which I'm sure resulted in real orders for them. If it had been a "Super Nintendo" I can see myself being tempted to hope it would be real...
Very cool! I'm glad to see the SNES version of this title getting some love, although I am not certain I see the need to add violent displays of blood. I imagine that would appeal more to the Sega Mega Drive crowd.
The SNES already had many advantages over the Mega Drive (with more parallax layers etc) so it's interesting to see even many years later a new advantage has been discovered! I am being facetious, of course, it is always better to experience games as originally intended. I am grateful for the many ways I have to now enjoy my large collection of SNES titles but hope to be able to continue to use my original hardware.
Very interesting… always nice to see more love for the SNES. While I am not interested in playing a wrestling game, I hope this gets more people interested in the Super Famicom.
Even though the SNES has been discontinued for over 25 years, I had hoped to add a new cart to my extensive collection. I am, however, of course very excited to see the localization of another Japanese Super Famicom title. There is not enough love for Nintendo and I have noticed that the Sega Mega Drive tends to garner more interest from the retro gaming community, despite it not being capable of producing nearly as many parallax layers as the SNES.
I feel the SNES would have been a better choice for a 16-bit conversion like this, as it has the capabilities to produce more parallax layers than the Mega Drive for example.
Pretty neat. I do not understand how the development of FPGA "cores" is accomplished, but I appreciate that things like this allow new audiences to experience great retro systems like the SNES on modern TVs.

I personally am not a fan, but I would understand if those who prefer SEGA products would enjoy this sort of thing.
