Nah. Actually just met him on Monday when he reached out to me. Really cool guy. I imagine he was probably on NintendoAge

Learned about it from @BirdDogGaming youtube video

Thanks for checking it out! 

New price tracking site Mynty is now live. Premiering tonight: an interview I did with founder Jason! He'll be in the chat answering any questions you have for the site. Come hang out at 6:30PM CST

I've compiled a list of the North American Yu-Gi-Oh! games that came packaged with promotional cards. The majority of this information was scattered throughout the Yu-Gi-Oh! Fandom Wiki with about 32 ads per page, but I did find a few games they missed. The card number is important because oftentimes there are multiple releases of a card, such as Red Eyes B. Dragon, and each will have a different number. While there are many Red Eyes B. Dragon iterations, only the ones with PCJ-EN001 were originally packaged with Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Joey the Passion.

The image below shows where the card number is located:

Please let me know if there are any issues or games missing.

The only weird one here is Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Academy (Not for Resale). This one released inside of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Ultimate Beginner's Pack, which I'll attach a picture of below. The game box is Not for Resale and it's incredibly obvious. Finding the Not for Resale variant of this game is not too tough, but finding the cards might cost you an "arm" and a "leg." Apparently they're pretty good cards to have and Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG collectors have opened the games specifically to take the cards out. I believe this is also the case with the first print of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories on Game Boy Color.

Big day today

Where did you see this?

It was an eBay sold listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334530078522?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3BHvGwr7SJa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=wVZl_VM-TW-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Doing some research tonight and found this one that hasn't shown up in this thread yet:

Guess it's US only as i've never seen anything like this here in Europe.

Also found this tonight. Looks like Europe might have some of their own:


 

Turns out this one does exist. Adding it to the list now.

I can't imagine that's a reproduction. Does the tab on the inside of the box say USA-1?
It would make sense that Majesco would distribute a later release of the game because they did so with later printings of the Castlevania titles on GBA

I just got this Rayman 2 promotional slinky that I’ve had a saved search for for years. I was the only bidder and won the auction for $10. Very rare item that very few people care about. Depending on the audience it could sell for 5 times this amount or 1/5 of this amount

Thanks to Game-Rave (https://game-rave.com/?p=11237) for this one. Rayman Brain games had an incorrect UPC originally, which was covered with a sticker on the case, under the seal. It had a later print with the correct UPC.
Here's an example of a first print with the corrected sticker on the case: 

Haven't been sharing all of my uploads on this thread, but here's my latest video: 

This is a master list for the North American Xbox 360 titles that released in special Xbox One | Xbox 360 backwards compatible packaging. Note that these are DVD's, not Blu-Rays, so I would probably classify them as a subset of Xbox 360 collecting, despite the majority of them being inside of Xbox One cases. Idk.

There was two styles in the packaging:

1. Xbox One style case
   • Example: 
      
2. Xbox 360 DVD case
   • Example: 
     

Xbox One style case releases:

1. Bioshock: Infinite
2. Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition

8. Mirror's Edge

*Game has one release with an Xbox One style case and one with an Xbox 360 DVD style case.

There is also one game that I am pretty confident exists, but I'd like to see more evidence of it: MX vs. ATV: Reflex. If it's real, it comes in the Xbox One style case. There's a listing for one on eBay and it appears to be a real image, not a stock photo, but I don't know. If you have a picture, please share so I can modify this post. Edit: found it. See reply below.

And of course, let me know if you have any others. 

Found a Super Bomberman 2 USA-1 cartridge and manual. Unsure about box.

Edit: The USA-1 revision adds the ESRB rating to both the box and cartridge.

Bomberman Land: Touch! 2 has a USA-1 cartridge revision, but box and manual are USA. 

Thanks, everyone!
Not strictly looking for NES variants, so if anyone else knows of any, let me know

This must be what you were referencing. 

I appreciate that. What’s the variance between the two small boxes? @Nintendopower4ever

Mega Bomberman has a Mega Hits release.

There's definitely a USA-1 cartridge and manual for Wario Blast, but I didn't see a single non-USA-1 cartridge on eBay.
I did find a Canadian cartridge, though:

If you have boxes for either of these, please share some images.


Please check the inside tab on your Bomberman GB box as well, there may be a USA-1 out there.

Other than that, I've found:

• Bomberman (Nintendo DS) has a French Canadian release
• Bomberman Land Touch 2 has a USA-1 cartridge with an unrevised box and manual
• Bomberman Land (Wii) has a French Canadian release

I'm doing some research on variants for any and all North American Bomberman games. Anything from NES to Switch, I want it all. Bomberman titles that aren't Bomberman titles are also welcome (i.e. Panic Bomber and Atomic Punk). Cover variants, sticker on the seal, USA-1 revision, UPC changed, I don't care how minor it is, just let me know what you have. 

What I currently have:

Thanks!

Here are some new fiber variants for you from WATA's population reports:

New video showing off this weird Switch Lite I got

Prima Games’ Rayman 2 guide has a variant that includes PlayStation and Dreamcast

Talking about our passion of set collecting!
