  1. Why was Remixed not released in Japan? And why were they called Remixed and Reloaded? What does it remix and what does it reload... the PS2 collection?

    At least the Japanese release of Reloaded was simply called Capcom Classics Collection.

    I've always been a bit confused by these two collections.

    And then both collections were re-released together but only in the US. What? So random.

  2. I love guides, especially those bundled with magazines. This was a common thing with Japanese magazines, and Hong Kong copied the trend. They age like shit due to humidity and tend to get thrown away anyway, so they are not common.

    This one's a pencil size mini guide with character bios, moves and general tips for Street Fighter II Game Boy version. Published by Mani with the rights from the original Japanese publisher.

  3. i've yet to find an "official" proof of what the double digit code is. can't be that hard to find an ex nintendo guy in japan or even usa or europe who knows that... until then, it's all speculation, though we're pretty close... would really like to have this confirmed one day.

    here's a personal guess, but it's based on the front/back cart shell code, which supposedly follow the same concept (without A or B obviously):

    i've opened many carts of the same region, and they all have 3X and 3X for the shell code (like F-33 and B-36)

    so what i'm thinking is that the first number is a factory, and the second number... an assembly line inside that factory? only specific number are used for the 2nd number, for example 0 1 2 never show up.

    exactly same logic for box inserts, i've done some checking on my wii inserts, and the same few numbers always come back for games of the same region, which most likely indicates a location - not a date for sure, since games from launch and 2/3 years later can have the same code.

    also, the existence of 00 codes shows that they used hexadecimal base, but it seems they never needed to go higher than 9 anyway

  4. Now that I think of it, I also had that happen with an agent a long time ago around 2009-10. A loose NES lot had a copy of Mahjong in it, and after a while, the agent told me that cart was not in the lot anymore. I suspect it was the agent itself who bought it for reselling while using my sniffing skills to find good stuff, since the seller didn't seem to know anything about it. Crappiest agent I've used.

  5. Have you guys ever experienced this? You buy small/medium/large lots for specific games which are worth more than the lot price alone, and when you receive your package (or go to pick up in person), you find out ALL or SOME of those valuable/rare/special games are gone.

    Or a variant of the story, you buy a lot, and just before confirming the deal, or just after paid, the seller tells you this and this game are unfortunately gone, and whether you still want the lot for the same price or for slightly less.

    The variant story happened to me many times - luckily the original story not yet. 🤪
