Odd Samurai ShoDown Cart From NCS...

BioMotor_Unitron · Dec 28, 2000

I opened up the U.S. release Samurai ShoDown home cart last night, and noticed something odd. Sticking out from underneath the top edge of the cart sticker is ANOTHER cart sticker. I tried to seperate the two, but could not do it without tearing it, so I stopped. I am going to make a scan later and post it up here (I will edit this initial message and put the image in here). Hopefully someone here can identify the second underlying sticker by the little bit that is showing. It looks to be the edge of a "Rising Sun" picture, except done more in gold, yellow, and orange.

I am guesing you bought an english version of the game. It was knowned that SNK would place the english cart stickers over the japanese ones during that time when demand dictated.

BioMotor_Unitron · Dec 28, 2000

Yes, it is a U.S. version. Does the Japanese Samurai Spirits sticker have a "Rising Sun" type image on it like I described?

Yep the jap cart has that image on it!

BioMotor_Unitron · Dec 28, 2000

Well, I guess that answers my question, then. Thanks, all! No need to bother scanning that thing now.

It was quite common for SNK to put a U.S. sticker on top of a jap one, Biomotor. Better not to try to peel the U.S. one off, it kinda ruins your cart . . .

BioMotor_Unitron · Dec 29, 2000

I did not peel it off, although the lower left corner of the Japanese sticker underneath is not really sticky at all, and lifts right up. After much consideration on my part, I am about a hairsbreadth away from ditching home carts completely and going MVS only, anyway.

I have a few US version home carts that have Jp stickers underneath (another reason I don't like US version)

You guys are lucky.
You don't have US version home carts that have NGF stickers underneath

Let me know if you do decide to get rid of some home carts, might be interested in picking some up.

BioMotor_Unitron · Dec 29, 2000

I just need to get my new scanner so I can make some good quality scans of the inserts for my website before I get rid of any home carts. I am still not certain if I will totally ditch home carts or not, but I am considering it.

Silent-scope!

That reply of yours is hilarious, and in perfect context.

My U.S. copy of Nam '75 has two labels too. Send it to NGF and have three.
