The only "issue" with your copy is it appears to be a Majesco reissue release as evidenced by the "Made in Mexico" printed on the cartridge. In the twilight years of the SNES, Majesco had arranged a deal with Nintendo and several other publishers to re-release some of their better known games as companies were shifting their focus to the 32/64-bit consoles. Most of the Majesco releases were inferior in quality as their labels on the carts didn't look as sharp and they reprinted the instruction books in black & white. I noticed yours is has a color manual so check the spine to see if it says "Made in Mexico" or "Made in Japan". What could have happened is the store owner Frankensteined a complete copy together from different sources. :P --- End quote --- I'm on my crappy work computer that blocks images, so I can't see it. But as Flashback2012 pointed out, Majesco re-released many SNES and Genesis games while Nintendo and Sega moved on to the next generation. I've had both the original and Majesco versions of Super Castlevania IV for the SNES and Castlevania Bloodlines for the Genesis. The cardstock used for the box isn't as thick and isn't as glossy as the originals. It feels like a cheaper grade of paper. The labels aren't as shiny or thick and the manuals are printed in black & white. In any event, even if it's a reprint, you did fine IMO. |

thanks for all the answers. Looks like a majesco game. Box and cart have a M (I'm guessing for Mexico?) before the article number but the booklet is a US one in color starting with a U if anyone wondering. |

Yep I checked mine ( US but the Made in Japan version) and the board is identical. For the rest yes it is a re-print and I don't think it affect at all the price you paid. Not a lot of people are aware of it so you got it for a very good price. J'ai acheté le mien il y a 3 mois 5$ de plus que la tienne avec à peu prés le même état physique. |

Many collectors - such as the very people on this site - cobble together items to make a complete edition. Heck, I just did it with the God of War III Collector's Edition and Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector's Edition. Bought them both without the games themselves and picked up the games to complete the sets. In the case of Ninja Gaiden 3, I was also missing the soundtrack, but found brand-new ones on eBay for $4.95 with free shipping. So as soon as that arrives, I'll have a complete CE for that as well. |
