I just put a US Last Blade on ebay for the Pocket Colour at just £20 ( about $30 ) They say in the Pocket forum that it was never released but rumoured to have been made... well here it is:

Aparantly not for the US version, so I have heard... I could be wrong though... There may be one for the UK English but I heard it was never rleased in the US so the cart with the E rating on it has never been seen or so they say....

Jigen: You are thinking of the UK version. The USA version was slated for release, but never hit store shelves - therefore this is a very odd find.

ESRB rating on cart, no "rainbow stripe" in the upper right hand corner. First one of these i've ever seen.

A forum member in the pocket section called PLISKEN said this comment with a possible spelling error ...

"I noticed it doesn;t have the 'Beyond the DIsteny' Typo of the UK versions , as well "

So thats one differnece I guess, also the E rating on the cart is typical US, not seen in any other country....

Oh and I forgot to say they are definatly real too and I did not get them from Lik-Sang either with their blow out sale. I have 3 and its really easy to see in the flesh that they are real. The pictures in the ebay auction of mine are large and very clear... also, I took pictures of text in the game too... Maybe I will oprn one and look inside it... I dunno though !

Nah, I wouldn't do that - all the board does is show you the manufacture date. BTW, where did you get these then? AI Goldenshops NGPC sale?

So is <a href="http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=99&products_id=2349&" target="_blank">this</a> <a href="http://www.lik-sang.com/" target="_blank">Lik-Sang</a> copy a US English copy as well? If so, I'll be pretty damn happy getting away with only spending $75 for my NGPC and 4 games...

Once it arrives... Metal Slug from the Neo Store is MINE!! HAHAHAHA

Either way it was a good deal though, since buying an NGPC and JPN LB from the Neo Store would have cost me what I paid for the NGPC and 4 games... So I guess I feel pretty good about my purchase anyway.

Hey Slerch, if you would do me a favor... PM me or email me when you get your system, and let me know if the LB is USA and what color system you got (I'm trying to figure something out <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" /> . If you would, I'd really appreciate it.

Sure thing... no problem. According to the UPS traking #, it's in Philly now, headed towards Newark DE where it gets delivered from. Should be here Tuesday, since I don't think they ship on Sundays.

I'll be sure to PM you with all the info...

looks the same as mine does the lik-sang picture so yes, that could be a US one you get... unless they are just using a library image. My picture is in my hands though... The speckled thumbnail on my thumb is glitter nail varnish I put on while I was bored in an empty doctors waiting room with my wife... She started putting it on so I nicked it and hey presto began painting my thumb for something to do! Now she wont give me the remover to take it off!!! anyway, it proves its mine I suppose !!!!

I got mune from Goldenshop in Hong Kong... I have delt with him for years and they have No.1 service & quality. I got a clear, 2x Silver and a stone blue set of pockets all new boxed sealed. I also got 3x Last Blade US, 2x Gals fighters, 2x Puzzle Bobble Mini, Samurai Shodown and 4x jap fruit machine games called Delsol I think.... Great deal !!

Hmm as I thought. They had the same games as liksang. I wonder where these all came from <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" />

The LAST BLADE looks like it never had a box as it was never released so this is how it is I suppose... as for the other games, who knows... Im sure that the JAP shops will have bought bulk loads of stuff when SNK went down and many wont have had boxes manufactured.... the carts will be made in one place and the packaging somewhere else... I imageine they never met up in the end..

If you want to work it out if its not showing on ebay then roughly you are not too far out if you divide the cost in pounds by 0.7... hence: £20 / 0.7 = $29 approx. Its near enough...
