Mario Strikers Charged Football

I've rechecked my copy, and it seems like this item page has some contradictions to it.

My copy has item number RVL-R4QP-UKV and barcode 045496900212 (images: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404287853493?epid=66602752)

The item page has item number RVL-R4QP-EUR and barcode 045496900212

So same barcode, but different item number. Also, the back cover looks to be taken from a french copy.

Seems to be an amalgamation of a UK Cover and a Nordic item number (Either the not for resale version or separately released version).

The cover portion exists, apparently with blue case
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324479478178
But of course this one doesn't have the blank box. It looks like the back art on 182602 is a photo and not edited. Since there is an NFR disc inside it may be a franken-item itself. I can find one instance of the NFR disc from here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/384496959470

But I cannot find a case back with the blank EAN box. This item may have originally had an EAN label there, or something else. Note that the PS hologram is also missing. It could be that the NFR came in this type of cover. At this point I do not think the entry should have its images modified and the item creator should be contacted to determine what it is.

This item may be a true promo, or it could have been an overstock item, or it may have come packaged inside of something else. It is not any of the regular releases, that is for sure. I have changed the descriptor for now, so it should not interfere with any other entries that are made.

A thing to note on these games however:
- most have red case. A sealed blue case one would need to be found in order to make an entry for that. If it turns out there are multiple case colors, then the front/back arts for all of the variations should be showing the case as well and not just the cover insert.
- some have a FireItUp label on the front. Should confirm through pictures of sealed copies whether all came with this or if only some.

So hi. Sorry for the late response.

I submitted this copy in 2020, however I believe that I acquired this copy at a thrift store in 2016/2017? I got it as what is shown on the images, but I'm not sure about it's origin. I have a suspicion that it could be a display copy, as I have a display copy of Death by Degrees (item/176519), which looks similar (Also a find from the same area as my Buzz copy). Given the fact that there used to be a Blockbuster in the same city as where I got this, I wouldn't be surprised if it originally came from there for display purposes.

The front cover is real. This site is weird now, because I can't submit more than 1 cover picture, but the front cover has a Australian rating, but the manual and back cover is Spanish. A misprint, sure, but one, that exists.

Also, it's not an Australian copy, as it doesn't say "Licenced for sale in Australia and New Zealand Only".

Only for games, that I'm interested in.

Mostly Playstation, as that is, what I grew up with. Goes for Wii as well, although not as much.

I also collect older pc games. Newer physical games with DRM are useless to me.
