Here’s the contents of the one I have. Based on my nes knowledge I would think this is not a first print kirby but if someone knows if these inserts are correct that would be awesome.

Goodvibes | 158 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Confirmation on these inserts as well please. I feel as Mario’s are wrong, not sure on tmnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I have the same inserts for Kirby except for the epilepsy warning. I'm pretty sure if you have an epilepsy warning then that's the first print, but I can't promise that. Super Mario Land matches mine. I'm pretty sure there are multiple versions of that release because it was reprinted multiple times over the years. The only thing I'm not seeing with yours is DMB-GB-USA which is a guide on inserting a cart into the Game Boy, but I'm not sure if that one was supposed to come with the game (got it from a lot where some inserts were mixed up). But with that poster and Nintendo Power insert I think it's a first print. TMNT I don't have CIB right now but I had that game growing up and those inserts look familiar.

MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) One way to compare first print Super Mario Land to later prints: your box for Super Mario Land has greenish screenshots on the back of the box. Later screenshots have the cleaner black & white look: Also notice this box says "DMG P ML" over the barcode. Yours & mine do not.

austin532 | 467 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I don't. I never got very deep with GB inserts as GB games were and still are hard to find CIB. All I know is they shared NP inserts from 89-91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at eBay listings and some unboxing videos and I'm certain the epilepsy warning insert is for Kirby's Dream Land. No idea why this is. I haven't seen it with any copies of Super Mario Land. Only video I could find is a PAL version and doesn't start from sealed. Not very helpful, I know, but there's a similar insert: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 713 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Epic necro here, and you may have worked more on other threads, but I saw the epilepsy warning in two listings of SML recently: https://www.ebay.com/itm/294159483768 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174752967204?nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true It seems to be coded DMG-OOC-USA, though searching on that doesn't find much. It seems to be contemporaneous with the "I CAN CONQUER THE WORLD!" Nintendo Power ad (GP-DMG-USA) and "HAVE YOU HAD YOUR FUN TODAY?" poster/ad (with full-page Metroid II ad on the reverse) (DMG-USA-4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamW | 713 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I thought it might be a kinda precursor of the "CONSUMER INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS BOOKLET", but there's an old listing of The New Chessmaster still visible via Pinterest that has both, interestingly: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/419679259004529619 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmauzo | 1,198 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It seems like you're pretty well covered on the Mario/Kirby front, so here are my TMNT games. I'm probably missing a registration card and Konami pamphlet for Radical Rescue (if it came with them), but this is what you'd be looking for for Fall of the Foot Clan and Back From The Sewers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yZoneFox | 18 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Does anyone have a firm date when they switched to cardboard? I remember some of the first games I bought with cardboard appeared in 1995 like Kirby's Dream Land 2. The Player's Choice series, I remember premiering around the same time of 95-97, all use cardboard. I'm also curious about the Natsume and Sunsoft reprints . They have cardboard. My Natstume reprints of Bubble Bobble don't have an updated copyright dates. Does anyone know when the Natsume and Sunsoft reprints were released?
