If the latter, just pirate the game.

Sure, an original Super Famicom cart of Rendering Ranger would be cool, but this is an official western release, and all of Limited Run's stuff always looks super professional. It's definitely a win in my book.
While this is a western release, the box is translated. Not the game. The game is still running the JPN rom.

to me, the fear of missing out is part of the grift. "Buy it now because you might need it" was a mantra I had through the ps2 and ps3 era. Now I'm playing a lot of those "must play" ps3 games and not enjoying them. Either because they weren't for me, or because they didn't age well. Completely cured me of this fomo stuff because I wish I had just saved the money. I wish that I got a game and then played it before getting another game.
