RH | 4,903 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I bought my copy of Sonic Classic Collection brand new, years ago. I can't recall where I bought it but it was retail and likely Target or Game Stop with a small chance of it coming from Walmart. My daughter was playing it and when I went to put it back in the case, I happened to notice that the manual had a serial code of TWL-VSOE-CAN, rather than ending in USA. Odd. I assumed it was a US go and, but I guessed not. I then looked at the cartridge. TWL-VSOE-USA. Well, I then assumed Canada had the US cartridge. I then checked the cover. It's TWL-VSOE-USA as well?! Sooooo, it looks like the US received all US component parts but the manual. Has anyone else seen this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I mentioned, I did get this new from a US retailer. Even if it was Game Stop, I was ever a collector and would never take their reseal trash. I wanted new and sealed and this definitely was.

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I recently purchased a new copy of a switch game off Walmart and got a South East Asia copy. It has a SE code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if you bought from Walmart in store, I'd raise an eyebrow to that one. Oh, and to be clear, I know I bought this in store, not online.

phart010 | 1,707 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 That makes two of us. I’m not the original owner of mine though, but chances are this is the manual that came with mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 It was typical for North American games to have dual English/French ESRB labels and inserts so they could do one printing for all of US and Canada. But I don’t know if it was typical to have a CAN manual with a cover art that has no French at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
