How can you tell a loose Metroid Prime Hunters from the demo version? Does the demo say first hunt on it? I saw a loose MPH at the flea market today that said first hunt and I asked if it was the demo and the guy got really pissy with me about it and started yelling about how it was the full game. He was all and all coming off really hostile for someone trying to sell games.
I did get confirmation from someone here that the demo says First Hunt on it, does the full version say that on it? Any other diffirences that can be spotted just by looking at it? I'd like to get this game at some point so want to make sure I get the full one (though i wouldn't mind the demo if it was cheap enough, just want to know what I'm getting).
Just wanted to check if I was wrong or not about assuming that it was the demo because it said First Hunt on it.

Excellent thank you, that is what it looked like.
Could someone post a picture of the regular version please?

The full game looks nearly identical to the demo except that it is rated teen and it does not say "First Hunt" on it.

Yeah, I saw one of these at a Goodwill once and had the same question. But forget anything else-- all you have to do is see the "Rating Pending" thing and 100% it's definitely a demo. That's when I realized what my copy was. No full release of a game would say Rating Pending on it, especially a Nintendo game.

There are actually two metroid prime hunters demos : the common as dirt pack-in with first gen DSes, and the much harder to find store demo carts.

how can you spot the difference between those two? I've got one that is in a sleeve, which I would assume is the pack-in. of course I am new to the DS, so I have no idea what I'm talking about.

That is the pack-in.
Retailer demo carts will have more text on them denoting that they are demo carts, at least all the ones i've seen say as much.

That would be the pack-in. The store demo wouldn't have "first hunt" on the front, and would have a "not for resale" bar on the sticker, as well as a "RP" rating, and possibly a white barcode sticker on the back stating it is property of nintendo and not for resale.
EDIT: PapaStu beat me to it.

Thank you for the replies everyone. My question has been answered and I guess the guy got so piss about me asking if it was the demom or not because it was the demo and he wanted it to sell.
