Title: Can I Play Canadian Games on my American NES?
Post by: burningdoom on July 11, 2014, 01:19:19 pm

I want to make a trade offer to someone, but I want to make sure the game is compatible first.

I'm pretty sure all North American games are compatible, but I thought I should double-check first.

And no, I don't want to mod my NES.

Thanks for any help. :)

It should be possible, or at least American games work fine on my Canadian NES. I'd be surprised if it didn't work the other way around, too!

I don't think there are any Canadian games that even have a different ROM than their US counterpart.

There's one: Kirby's Adventure. There's a French-Canadian language version. All the other games are exactly the same as the US releases, except for the product code (they usually have CAN instead of USA) and people say the carts smell like maple syrup.

Eh. ;p
