More than 20 years after the SNES's 1990s heyday, Capcom and iam8bit have officially released a brand new SNES game: Street Fighter II 30th Anniversary Edition. As a (sold out) limited run of 5500, it's already one of the rarest SNES games ever released. In addition to a small print run of working cartridges, 1000 of the games are "Glow in the Dark Blanka Green." We tested it out in the video at the top of the page -- they really glow! The other 4500 are "Opaque Ryu Headband Red." There's no way to tell which you'll get, making the green copies impossibly hard to come by.
While there are plenty of unreleased and prototype games for the SNES, there are few official, printed cartridges from the 90s that have smaller runs than 5500, let alone 1000. For comparison, there are an estimated 2000 Star Fox: Super Weekend Official Competition Cartridges out there, and the Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge had a run of 2500.
