  1. @DefaultGen is my nomination for find of the year for potentially finding a US NES Super Mario Bros., prototype? It’s something for sure if not a proto.

    @fcgamer is my choice for best collection. Display doesn’t mean anything, anyone can just buy stuff and make it look shiny with money, but no one can amass and catalog a collection as unique as his.

    @OptOut is just the dude of the year. Honestly, we need a “Dude of the year except Optout” category, so my second runner up is @K.Thrower … maybe some of y’all don’t love the company he’s involved with, but this man still loves the hobby and elevated it to a new level, keeping it fresh for at least one more generation of new collectors.

     

    Thanks for the nomination @CasualCart the check is in mail.

  2. After about 10 years of documenting NES data, I'm finally nearing the end of my journey. Yes there are a ton of variants I don't own, but there are also just a few variant I don't know if they even EXISTSo, here's my wishlist. Do you have any proof of the following.

     

    Alpha Mission REV-A
    Lode Runner REV-A
    Sky Kid REV-A
    Stinger REV-A
    Zanac REV-A, Circle Seal of Quality
       
    BurgerTime No REV-A, No Hangtab
    Ninja Kid No REV-A, No Hangtab
       
    1942 Made in Japan Printed, Hangtab
    Solomon's Key Made in Japan Printed, Hangtab
    Gradius Made in Japan Sticker
       
    Mega Man No Captain Commando Sticker, Dr. Wright Text
    Mega Man 6 Capcom Box

     

    Now, I realize that Mega Man 6 has a known sealed copy, but all these years later not a single CIB has popped up. Same goes for REV-A Stinger.

    WATA's population report confirms that Gradius, and Solomon's Key exists, so I'm highly confident in its existence. But I've never seen it.

    There is currently a Mega Man 1 without the sticker WITH the Dr. Wright typo on eBay, but it has some damage that indicates the sticker might have been removed.

    ...hell, maybe I'll get lucky and @Braveheart69 can chime in.

     

    Oh and here's a photo of the theoretical Mega Man 1...that's sticker residue I think...and circular artwork damage.

    Lastly here's photos of Stinger REV-A, and Capcom Mega Man 6...

    there are def. some (outdated) issues with that list though for PAL releases:

    - some games are listed under HOL code, but are actually FRA code, with a HOL coded back label.
    if you include those under "HOL" , you are missing some of the black box games there, as well as the often overlooked Athletic World with USA code on the front, which actually has a HOL coded back.

    i also see Stadium Events listed under "EEC"
    yet no mention that there are actually 2 versions:
    also meaning 2 different manuals.

    - German version with EEC front and DAS on the back
    - Scandinavian version with EEC front and SCN on the back

    the German version with DAS back has a blue manual
    SCN version has a yellow manual.
    only the box is the same, which always has the EEC code on the side flaps.

    Yeah, I don't even see some staple "grails" like -HOL coded Big Box Gyromite.

    It was great for the time, but the list really needed work.

  4. @Gloves There's like 665 60-Pin Famicom exclusives.

    So if the NES 712 is doable, then so is Famicom.

    There are probably some errors, but this is a pretty solid start I think.

    Also, my list includes some weird stuff....

    Best Play Pro Yakyuu Shin Data, Gradius Archimendes Edition, Safety Rally, Star Soldier Time Trial Special, Kiddy Sun in Fantasia....I'm not entirely sure if they belong or not.

    Famicom 60-Pin Exclusives (I Think)

  5. 🤔 doesn’t the top loader have no region locking? In fact…if I clip off pin 4 of my NES CIC chip, I just defeated all region locks for the NES.

    Anyway, if we’re being absolutists, then any game that has anything more than a CIC, PRG, and CHR chips is not a Nintendo game…it’s extra hardware therefor a different library

    Not happening buddy. You'd have a stronger case if you removed the disk system though, as no one considers it the same thing.

    So for personal reasons just ignore FDS. FC & NES only.

    Different shaped media doesn't mean different platform when the only thing stopping them from playing is a simple cartridge slot with no additional processing.

    If that were the case, then how do you reconcile 5.25" / 3.5" / CD / DVD PC games? Or, even Licensed/Unlicensed games....or you're the famicom KING and literally every game is a different size shape and color made by different manufacturers.

    Konami games are NOT Famicom games, they're Konami plastics that happen to make funny pictures on your screen when you put it in a conveniently shaped famicom computer box.

  7. A name change makes it a unique console all together? I can't agree with that at all.

    by that standard, something like the Panasonic Q is the only game platform without ANY GAMES ever released for it, or Mega Drive games are not Sega Genesis games.

    Here's a preliminary look into my NES / FC Marriage...I still need to merge the FDS games that have 60/72 pin releases and tell me if you still disagree.

    With just a single adaptor we can play SNES and NES and on the n64, does that make them all the same machine?

    More than half the licensed 72-Pin NES library is available as 60-Pin....

    There's no special hardware being used in a pin converter...some 72-Pin games have blank pins, and the earliest games even use famicom converters.

    Not to mention the 72-Pin/60-Pin games available as FDS games.

    I used to be an advocate for always considering the NES and the Famicom to be unique, distinct systems. But I've since learned (thanks to several discussions here on VGS) that sometimes it's better to group them together based on the topic at hand.

    In which case, I refer to the systems and games simply as...

    image.gif

    There is no right answer for every scenario, but I still think it's best not to refer to Famicom games as NES games or vice-versa.

    Woooooooooooo!

    I've been calling it this in private for years now. 🙂 Thank you for this.

    In reality, I've been calling it "Nintendo 8-Bit Family" because we have...

    • Famicom
    • Famicom Disk System
    • FamicomBox
    • Nintendo Entertainment System
    • PlayChoice-10
    • Samurai
    • Hyundai Comboy

    And all the bootlegs, namely popular ones like Dendy, Phantom, MicroGenius, Q-Boy, etc.

  10. Sorry Dave, I've been working on marrying the 72-Pin / 60-Pin library.

    If you can consider eastern European and south American 60-Pin garbage part of the Famicom set then I can consider the 72-Pin / 60-Pin libraries one and the same!

    Plus we both know that Brazil and Sachen didn't care about pin counts, and the FamicomBox is a 72-pin system for Japan....not to mention the Famicom Disk doesn't even use Pins, and the PlayChoice-10 is its own thing all together.

  11. @fcgamer , I just wanted to chime in and say that test carts exist in four possible major variants.

    1. Yellow 5-Screw
    2. Yellow 3-Screw
    3. Grey 5-Screw
    4. Grey 3-Screw

    There's also minor revisions like the shape of the label, but I'm not entirely sure if those count as actual variants since they may be repair center made labels.

    Also, in all my years I've never come across any documentation that proves that "The Legend of Zelda Test Cartridge" is an authentic service material, especially since they come in a variety of front label variants. The only thing that lends to their legitimacy is the fact that all "real" test carts have no assembly line stamp on their back labels, meaning it's the normal "Gold Label" but no physical imprint of an assembly line...no other game in the library to my knowledge has this unique feature.

    There's also been a Gyromite, and Duck Hunt test cart to have surfaced...but only one of each to my knowledge and they're almost definitely service center customs.

    Ironically though, if the service center did make them, then they're authentic anyway...so the 3-Screw DK Math theory of them being service center repairs still makes them real.

  12. They were definitely not all shipped on day 1. As I said, 8539 is the first known print run, but there's 5K1, 5K2, 5K3, and 5K4 which is basically the entire month of October.

    So, they sold their initial print run, and had more manufactured.

    Also, only the first of first of all first print black box prints have a manual typo on the back. The PO Box number is 957, but is erroneously listed as 9572.

    This is corrected in the next batch of manuals.

    There are currently 5 known chip dates for Super Mario Bros., and the 9572 manual is only found in the 8539 print run.

    There are boes with 1996 date codes? I have a Millipede cartridge with chipdates in 1995 but nothing later than that.

    Yep! Asterix, and Smurfs were reprinted in 1996 for PAL regions.

    Again, as I stated in my long diatribe earlier, you're not citing specific data and sources, just a level of "trust me, my uncle works at Nintendo" level of verification.

    You guys might just trust each other, as part of the "good 'ol boys club" of Nintendo historians, but seriously, for everybody else, some actual documentation of when stuff happened, how, why, etc., with sources cited would be really nice.

    And 8539 would be the week that Nintendo's chip manufacturer created that chip, not when Nintendo did, as they didn't fab their own chips in-house, then or now.  If you look at just the logistics data on shipping the stuff via what would have been the standard method of the day (and even today, in most cases), it creates some serious iffiness of stuff marked 8539 being there at the launch on 10/18/1985.  Nintendo debuted the US NES at CES in June of 1985, and obviously decided to leap into the market based on the response they received there.  With that in mind, I would think that they'd have started manufacturing a lot earlier than 3 months later in order to get product out and in consumer's hands for the 1985 Christmas season.  Just looking at the numbers and how the shipping data works out, I would think that there should be earlier chip dates out there for games/systems that were actually on shelves on day 1 of the launch itself.

    So, before discounting me out of hand, take a look at that timeline again and notice that chip fabrication, board assembly, game assembly, etc., all the way to the ship leaving the dock would have to occur on the exact same day in order to his the street on 10/18/1985 with an 8539 date code if there wasn't something else going on (partial shipment was air freighted, 8539 were actually replenishment units due to great sales of day 1+ stock, etc.).  There's more here that needs to be filled in, or at least acknowledged as being missing from the picture.

     

    This again goes back to me being tongue-in-cheek to "Do we even know that all 677 NES games aren't modern fabrications? Did 1985 ever even happen? Did the universe exist even a second ago?"

    Nintendo themselves claims that they launched the NES on October 18, 1985 and that through the holiday season of 1985 approximately 90,000 units were sold during that time. I'll have to find the source for that, but it's known data.

    There are multiple instances of chip dates reading 8539, 5K1, 5K2, 5K3 and I think 5K4 (5 = 1985, K = September, 4 = Week 4)

    In order for any of these games to run in a USA NES it must have the USA CIC chip inside the cartridge. The earliest known CIC chip is 8538 or 8539. For there to be ANY chance of them not getting the games on the store shelves of FAO Schwarz on October 18, 1985, then you would have to deny that the NES launched on that date and come up with a new reasonable date.

  14. 49 minutes ago, darkchylde28 said:

    Can we be certain that those particular carts would have definitely been present during the initial launch on 10/18/1985 based on that date code?  The 39th week of 1985 would put the manufacturing date of the chip between 9/23/1985 and 9/29/1985.  If it was used immediately, that would give a window of 2-3 weeks (depending on whether the whole package was end-to-end manufactured and shipped on either the first or last day of the week on the chips) between manufacturing and being immediately available for sale.
     

    Virtually EVERY NES game that has a date printed on its box (nearly all games printed and reprinted from October 1988 to December 1996) has its estimated release window within 3 weeks of its earliest known date code. The same goes for chip dates and manual dates.

    Nintendo was on its A game in terms of capabilities to get product on shelves.

    Of course there are exceptions in a library 713 games large. But generally speaking, there's a clear pattern of amazing manufacturing capabilities.

    Also, virtually all black box games first known chip dates are 8538 and 8539. So either Nintendo had zero product for October 18, 1985...or they were just good at selling stuff quick.
