Which makes one wonder why the North American Master System Sonic the Hedgehog is worth so much, yet it's common in Europe. |

Thank you dashv! --- End quote --- You can't play japanese SMS games, unless mod. --- End quote --- This appears to be correct. A guy in this forum: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=368962 Says the same thing: "http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=368962" I've personally used USA and UK carts no problem. Haven't tried Japan. --- Quote from: burningdoom on March 01, 2015, 06:20:30 pm ---Which makes one wonder why the North American Master System Sonic the Hedgehog is worth so much, yet it's common in Europe. --- End quote --- The Master System did very well in the UK and Brazil so they had more of each title released and sold there. Here in America Nintendo was king so some games never got released here. In the event they did we got much fewer copies than the UK and Brazil. |

^ Back then, it made sense. But the fact that the North American version is STILL worth a lot, doesn't make sense to me. We have the internet now. We can order copies of the European version, which works on a North American SMS and is in English. |

I bought the Japanese version of Super Bonk and Super Metroid rather than pay the crazy prices the U.S. versions were going for. But my primary interest is in playing the games. Not in having every game for my systems CIB. |
