@Jeevancarefull what you wish for. i almost broke @ZeldaFreakmy first game.

oops i in if you need a player. @OptOut you in???

ok you asked for it or not we will just have to see. ill take a koppa

This weeks NANDS making the owned count to 777 of 1775 +/- a few. Is that a luck number. Upgraded my Flower, Rain Sun so anyone needs a cib one let me know. Also looking for a case and book for MY WORLD MY WAY. start playing this and it see ok. no crazy controls and easy to pass through all the reading so ill work on this one for the time. Add a new Home Brew from First Press's POWA and then for the gameboy a double label ESP carts Pinocchio and KI both are with the security sticker under the main label. this make them #2 and #3 ESP Double labels in the world collection just 1800 left (out of 3500+) for world gameboy set.

The weeks additions: all picked up at GW. managed to upgrad my Flower Sun and Rain. so if any one want one let me know... now have to look for some manual as the SBK and Lioner Trains on Track did not come with one. Playing My World My Way now need a book and case but will upgrade much later or if someone has on then let me know. had an oddball come in late last night Pokemon Sun 3DS so have to get rid of. ..

@Mr. CIByep it keep is all crazy and fun. that is what slowed me down on the world DMG carts. i keep running in to variables that are not planed.

@Mr. CIB i think i might start looking more closely for the -CAN carts. also just for the record the Rune Factory did check all the boxes for a real cart. hope that helps...

@Mr. CIBthat is curious about not seeing a -can cart. the RUNE Factory i have shown is a -CAN version. I was not paying attention to that when i picked it up and sad once i started to catalog it. However the price was so so low i could not pass it up. As this was just the cart only buy and it was mixed in with a few others i just assumed it was a -USA because of the ESRB code. Now because of this i have to really look at the carts even more closely. i have noticed that others have this same ESRB but are of another region. Will i chase this type of cart maybe. but as of right now i have to just catalog what i can find and hopely find a few people that are willing to share/help catalog this type of fun items.. I almost want to call this a variant but i can't not just yet. more research is needed before i can call it a variant. like looking for a cib or the corresponding box as for this being a Sega, Natsume and Majesco, you have to through in Nintendo of America because they also do the Latina America/Mexico cart/variants and they don't use the -LTA region code..

@Mr. CIBhere is more thought. The CIB person will need to think about the Manual/Cart/Box in terms of sub categories but not really variants. for examples i will be using here is the Pokemon side. Most if not all Pokemon collectors will want the USA only as this will bring the most monies but for a NA Collector they might not care about the fact that the pokemon is a USA/French/Canada version also long as they Have the ESRB,. As for a Variant collector the French/Canada CIB will be a Sub Set but not a variant. Then a NA collector will want the insert to this French/Canada and treat it as a standalone game. Where do i sit on this well i have to go to what i know purest. for me the cart must match the case art... that means on the case next to the barcode must match the cart code that is in the box. it then mark it the CIB in my works sheet as a collectible for now. keeping the knowledge that there is a possible different case for the game. Funding is limiting the full exploration of the cib variant/difference. but i will if the case presented itself pickup a few extras for comparison. hope this helps. in short a -CAN cart is in a region set not a variant of the -USA set. A CIB that has both type of instructions but has the cart code of USA it is a USA CIB with an extra manual for the French. I will differently need to look at the data a little closer for a full comparison. Another way to look at this is the DMG(Gameboy Carts) for example. the usa tetris cart/cib has around 264 variants. now multiply that with 22 regions that number climbs to around 5,808 Tetris carts to have "a true full cart set" now take the number by the number of box variants then you are looking at what 10000+ combinations and that is just one cart.

playing right now trying My World My Way on the DS

@Mr. CIBwow that is a tough one. in one since i want to say it not a concern. However there is a side of me that was to just scream. Here is my thought for what it is worth. 1. I like to call this the base set. by my definition: A base set is all the game that are original to that region. for example. will use New Super Mario Bros. (we have talked about this a time or two). In the base set i would/will include only cart that have a catalog code for that region. ie NTR-AD4A-USA. for all instance the cart is a USA cart just because of the -USA. now then if say a person is doing just carts only this would be the end of the discussion. How ever if your a cib person the it's just getting started.
