This would mean they opened them up, discarded the US box/manual, restickered the front and back of the cart with Playtronic labels and repackaged it in a Playtronic version box. I know for fact that Nortec in Cyprus/Greece opened games, inserted Greek language manuals, and resealed the games. It wouldn’t be out of the question for Playtronic to repackage games for their region, especially since this could potentially qualify as a “manufacturing” if they are disassembling and reassembling the carts which would reduce high Brazilian import taxes. Check out this MM6 from Brazil has gold rear sticker with a paper Playtronic sticker on top of it. MM6 was not a gold sticker game (gold sticker was reserved for battery backup games with save functionality) so it’s likely that cart backs were disassembled, restickered and the restickered backs were thrown into a parts bin and randomly pulled for pretty much any game distributed by Playtronic. Ive always said if they WERE printed in the US as a legitamate release, there would be more than what, 5? Occams razor here. Capcom said the were not releasing the game in the US the NES were basically obsolete at the time, im sure because they didn't think it would sell will (Although odd it got a FC release, maybe cuz it was still in development in 93). Nintendo stepped in of course and said "Oh no you're not" and printed it themselves. Which is why in the US its a Nintendo release. But since Chile uses NTSC and other parts of South America still use NSTC like consoles, they released it there, since they didn't have to do much to change it from the FC (NTSC) release. So Capcom released it in SA in the same art style as their other releases. I think of it as the "USA" on the label, means more "NTSC" than region.

Several loose carts, something like 3-5 manuals and one sealed copy is all that has surfaced. Anyone ever seen a CIB? If these exist surely someone has shared a pic somewhere. Capcom Mega Man 6 exists CIB. Whether or not it was "released," and where, is a matter of speculation.

Kazuya | 4 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) The only country that had control over the box art and labels in the Americas was Gradiente (and its subsidiary Playtronic), Brasil. It's been seen on plenty of games. The rarest I've seen besides that, are unreleased games in Mexico, and different seals with even extra translated booklets, but never a different art box, that happened only in Brazil. (Besides the polemic Venezuelan counterfeit Nes releases) Since they started (Brazil) they've been a bit too much rogue on their own and had full control on their boxes and labels, even after Nintendo approved them as official distributors (they started counterfeiting Nes games and reverse engineering the system). It's not Ntsc per se though, those were Pal M engineered. But if I had to bet, that would be the only one place where they did that. Brazil. Evidently those games were also sold in other places like Argentina and countries near them. Edited January 27, 2023 by Kazuya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it odd that nobody has ever taken a picture of one and shared it online in some way - especially if there are 4 graded CIBs out there. Nobody has even claimed to know someone who has one which is what makes that pop report fishy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US was already a couple of years into the SNES and I dont think the SNES came out there till like 94. Could be wrong but you get the picture.

I've been in contact with the clods at Wata trying to actually confirm if those supposed 4 were actually the capcom purple border. They literally thought I was talking about sealed and said for me to check auction houses. Thanks shit head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESCollector15 | 40 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 So I just got this 5 screw Kid Icarus today and it has the code on it, I’ve spoken to others about it already but just wanted to see if anyone else had one like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesmaster | 402 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I saw at least one CIB (Capcom, non-Playtronic) on mercado livre, because I tried to buy it but couldn't figure it out. This was some years ago, before it became "hot shit". Still don't have one, and won't pay what they bring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
