MiamiSlice | 3,100 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Mr. CIB said: FYI the current list of them are: 1. Mario Party Bundle (pink/yellow) with black straps) Japanese uses matching straps. 2. Blaster Master Trilogy 3. Kemco RPG Omnibus 4. OBAKEIDORO 5. Neo Geo Pocket Vol 1 (LRG yet to be released) 6. Ancestors Legacy (also has a NA release) You are confusing first party UAE releases (that have ESRB labels plus the UAE label) with SE Asia releases that just happen to have the ESRB even though it’s not necessary.

Eliminate Down and Undeadline can't have come cheap. But then you also randomly got a Toki in there hiding alongside the big ball busters, lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I’m not. Every game above has a version with only ESRB label that came out in Asian markets. There maybe others with UAE labels like shown in the previous post. There are a few versions of the Mario Party pink/yellow not just one. Edited August 17, 2021 by Mr. CIB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.G. CIB | 415 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) @MiamiSlice The version released in certain Asian countries where ESRB only. Doesn’t have UAB on the case visual of the 5 that are non US ESRB that I have. Edited August 17, 2021 by Mr. CIB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two different regions: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia South East Asia The "UAE" releases are first party Nintendo releases. They take the ESRB North American label and add a UAE label on it, and sell it in those markets. The cart is a USA or North America cart. The SE Asia releases are third party releases. They take an Asia or Japan cart and instead of making a different cover for that market, they just re-use the North America cover art, ESRB label and all. I would not group them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,100 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Also, while we are on the topic, there's a UAE release of Link's Awakening. It was bundled with the Game Boy style steelbook in a styro sleeve. There's probably a bunch more UAE releases I'm forgetting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,100 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 OK one last self-correction: according to the label, "UAE" is now called "Middle East & Southeast Asia". Maybe we should call it MESA but whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already one of my top 10 platformers on the Sega. So I got Eliminate Down for $500 and Undeadline for $120. Undead line has a little bit of raising on the label which may be a problem down the road. This guy Amefuri Neko is on Ebay and FB sold them directly to me from Japan, no tax w/ shipping included. They weren't listed on his ebay store, so I asked and he had them. He is slightly slow in responding, but I highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 3,036 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Toki is a pretty cheap game though, or is there something about this version I'm missing? Especially compared to those other ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaCathedral | 148 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 This popped up at the game store today! It's one of the last Wii U big boxes I was planning to get! I don't want to hear any wisecracks, I bought this because I love Nintendo. I'm really happy I was able to find this before I move in a couple weeks, as the cheap game store will be much farther away from me once I move. I won't get a chance to play it until I set up in the new place, since there are boxes everywhere, and no room to set up a Wii Fit. The only other Wii U big box I want is Skylanders Swap Force, and then I'll take a nice group photo of them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange | 1,706 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 A few highlights from my latest buys: a clean SNES jr. or whatever they’re called and a complete copy of Tombs and Treasure (map included!) both found at local game stores. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden | 152 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I got some more stuff today. I returned my broken copy of RBI Baseball and got $6 off what I purchased at that store. AND they were also having a 10% off deal. So, I actually saved a decent bit of money there. What was also pretty cool was that they had a copy of Conan there. It's not a good game, but it's a pretty rare one. And I got it for $37.50, which I think is a pretty decent price. It certainly beats eBay prices. I got some other okay stuff, but I'm just happy that I finally own an NES game that's rare. What do you think, sirs? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the luck of bumping into him at the Louisville Arcade Expo in 2020. just before the virus shut stuff down weeks later. I had seen him like nearly 20 years earlier in passing when I guess he was in the area at the san diego office for midway when I was around which was nice as MK was big then and doing the digital work back then. I had a nice 10-15 min conversation about the old days and stuff on the floor since it wasn't busy, stories and all that. He's a very awesome and friendly person. With all the people jumping all over him for pics and repetitive questions about MK mostly, it hasn't changed the guy or made him wary or jaded which is nice.
