In celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary, iam8bit and Capcom have teamed up to release a 1990s special edition of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Limited to a print run of 5,500, the re-release comes in the form of an actual, working Super Nintendo cartridge. According to iam8bit, the SNES cartridge will come in a new box with a tri-fold design with “glistening foil sheen, delicately embossed texture, chic spot varnish.”

Priced at $100 USD, the cartridge will be available in “Opaque Ryu Red” or “Translucent Glow-in-the-Dark Blanka Green” — the glow-in-the-dark version will be limited to 1,000 copies and distributed randomly.
