Because it's fun of course

Why collect 10 copies of the same game because the label has slightly different text written on it?

Another Limited Run release. I still haven't received the previous 2 Edit: looks like I missed the release of 2 others. I've added those as well. 7 Total "unlicensed" games by limited run so far.

Some more "unlicensed" variants coming out. Anyone gonna pick them up? They will go well with the two star wars games released a little while back. Anyone one know of any other gameboy games that fit in this gray area?

Not to me or posted by anyone in this group. Only to ya boy rpg keeping secrets again. I knew they had more =p

Nice find. Look like this one will be an easy one to pick up. A short sampling looks like there is a decent amount of each example for sale. Up to 127

Wow.. such revision.. how has this one not been documented yet?

Idk but it almost looks like the difference between these labels is one is more transparent. Even with the solid looking logo you can still see slight color variations of the background underneath. Could it possibly be just a result if disproportionate fading? It does still bring in to question why you don't see this on other releases.

Bruh reveal all of your secrets. I need the instant gratification. This slow burn is making my edge game strong though Anyone willing to play the lottery in this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Balloon-Kid-Nintendo-GameBoy-Classic-66/164194569720?hash=item263ac24df8:g:PcQAAOSwKGxfxU8e

One is included in the base set of 506 and is not included as a variant. Whichever one you want to consider in the base set, doesn't matter.. Likely the one that's not currently on the checklist. There are only 4 variants which I've already included in my count.

I did not overlook this variant. As it was already known (Tetris (Made in Japan Label) on the current list), I did not include a picture of this cartridge. I only posted a picture of the new found variants (8 cartridges). All of the tetris cartridges are included in the 123 total.

I would say this is incorrect. The list in the initial post has a count of 120 variants. There has been 8 new variants that have been brought out over the past 2ish months which I have attached a photo that I personally have on hand. The would bring the total to 128. However, the initial count of 120 includes 5 entries that I would include in the base set of 506 DuckTales ('DMG' Label) Q Billion (Black Nintendo Logo) Rescue of Princess Blobette, The (Error Serial No.) Space Invaders: The Arcade Game DMG-SP-USA-1 Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! Rev-1 https://imgur.com/a/6FHKkcb So my variant count is 123. That Yoshi one is interesting if we decide to count it that would make the count 124. I have the translucent one in my collection. I do see a few of the non-translucent ones listed. This does appear a potential border case in my opinion, mostly because I don't want to look for others. What is also interesting about the Yoshi one is that the cropping is different between the two. I'm not sure if this just happens typically between production runs or not. The variant count is back up to 10 million

the one with “Blue Version Link to Red Version to catch all 150 monsters” is a reproduction. They probably used the box art to make the stickers as the box does contain this text.

I have a decent copy of The Final Fantasy Legend initial release if you're interested. http://imgur.com/a/LEBw9bg

Here's my count Bill and Ted (LJN logo no color) Ducktales (DMT mispelling should be DMG) Qbillion (black Nintendo logo) Princess Blobette (missing 1 dash in serial number) Tetris (missing both dashes in serial number) Heavyweight championship boxing(1-player logo error) Could make the argument that space invaders as well as wario blast are errors because they have the -1 revision when they are the initial release

There are two of the tennis variants listed on mercari if anyone is interested. Both are part of small lots but not too overly priced. https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m48820038846/?iv_code=CFXYDQ&object_id=m48820038846&object_type=item *edit the second listing was not the USA version

Oh yea. I guess it is. It's weird that the more prevalent variant is the single player logo. Do the date codes show that the 2 player logo version came out after?

I'm not saying its the 2 line vs 3 line It has variant of the two-player logo and single player logo (the same logo that has the 2 line vs 3 line) which is why I am asking if it should be considered an error since it was only ever a single player game. The original checklist categorizes variants as errors which is why I am asking.

Rpg posted it back on the top of page 12. Mine is still in the mail.

The boxing game is a 1 player game though. That's why I'm wondering if its the only one that counts as an error as opposed to the other variants that are just updated logos.

I finally picked up the championship boxing 2-player logo variant. Should we count this as an error variant? It seems the logo refers to 1-player/2-player capability so if the game was always 1 player then it must have been released accidently with the 2-player logo. Thanks for sharing the tennis variant as well.

Whats your guys opinion on the value of this set. I kind of put the DMG set around 1000, at least pre covid prices and most of the ones I've been picking up lately seem to back around that range. My last 4 (dkl,tetris attack, baseball one, wario land), I've picked up for $350 total. My estimates for the others Kirbys dreamland 2 $100-150 Wario blast $75 Kirby block ball $75 Killer instinct $200-$300 Donkey kong land 2 $100-$150 The gameboy color set seems to be worth less in my opinion and this one is missing hamtaro. So, it seems the starting bid of 2500 is a little high. It is cool to see them all in one listing though.

anyone have an up to date excel sheet with all of the NA releases and variants?

I am noticing that there is quite a decent library of interesting games. I have yet to ever get into a fire emblem game but that might just be because of a lack of trying. It's not my go to genre but that just requires a little extra effort to get into it. Ill keep an eye out for them. Ive had a 3ds ever since it came out but I think I only ever picked up one of the pokemon games, ocarina, and smash bros. I mostly like platformers, puzzle, and adventure genre. I also noticed today that there are not many games available in the wild at least where I am. All that I found were a bit high priced, or weren't CIB. Checked all the retro game shops, gamestops and Walmart. Its interesting how there are still a lot of new copies of 3ds games available. I did pick up a handful of wii u and gameboy games so it wasn't a complete loss. I guess unless conventions start back up this is mostly going to be an ebay/online marketplace effort. I did see that stupid Barbie game is the heavy hitter for the set. Gotta love that.

think I am gonna work on this set next. I was debating between which nintendo sets to do and it seems to be the prime time to polish off this set. any tips to get started? anyone have any extras they want to offload?
