i have 2 cpies of Top Hunter AES. On is JP the other US. The JP only has as you'd expect one sticker on the cart. The US has 2 stickers on the cart (gotta look pretty close). It's a US sticker on top of a JP sticker. I had thought all US titles after Sam Sho 2 were only 1 sticker...

Does anyone whomowns a US TopHunter have 2 stickers on the cart also?

Mine just has the US sticker on it,no jap one hiding underneath.
Just wish I could find someone in the UK to swap my US version for a jap version(as with my 2020 BB and Spinmasters too)

Thanx Jorge, since you say that's the case as far as I am concerned, this thread has served it purpose.

I got a "special" copy. Yay!

I have a US magician lord, and underneth the sticker is a Jpn label, so maybe they just took some extra Jpn carts back in the day and made them into US ones?

Yeah, this isn't uncommon at all. SNK would take leftover stock and just slap a different sticker on it to change it to US or JPN. Since the game is exactly the same, it doesn't really matter. But don't worry, you aren't alone, SNK did this fairly often.

They did this with US games from launch until Sam Sho 2, after that I did not think they did it until I got my TH US.

Ah, who knows with them. Nobody's really 100% sure when they stopped doing sealing stickers and gold warning label stickers either. SNK was just good like that. They liked to keep you on your toes.
