Very interested in the snes to USB adapter. Will look on eBay asap. Very informative article, didn't know about the rumour about the yakuza though.

Just so you know, Captain America and the Avengers is also a six player game. THANKS! Stephen Racketboy,

you mentioned that Bomberman and Secret of Mana are the only games utilizing the 6 player option. Just so you know, Captain America and the Avengers is also a six player game. THANKS!

Though, finding complete/excellent or better of either games is still tough and fairly pricey. Though if you're just playing, carts can be horribly beat up and still work - they are VERY durable. Great article guys! “Just wondering if all the releases of the SNES 2 (in the U.S. at least) came with Yoshi’s Island?”
