DreamTR (8:15:50 PM): so I finally got to the bottom of stupid ISS and Deluxe
DreamTR (8:15:55 PM): they were going to ship them in the USA
DreamTR (8:16:13 PM): when they struck a deal with some mexican distributor to exclusively have the NA rights over there
DreamTR (8:16:33 PM): this from two Konami employees that were there at the time, one is head of marketing, other works at Midway now
DreamTR (8:16:38 PM): so never in the USA
DreamTR (8:17:01 PM): was it shipped anywhere just Mexico NTSC with the ESRB stuff, that is why it has all the usa info
PortnoyC8X (8:18:31 PM): so we were right?
DreamTR (8:19:29 PM): yes and no, the collector's lists needs to be rehauled as North American, and not US, because if someone shows that box to anyone, and the manual, and Santulli, it's a no brainer that it came out here, same with Mr Pants
DreamTR (8:19:38 PM): It is on official Nintendo lists
DreamTR (8:19:43 PM): and that's a big deal these days
DreamTR (8:19:52 PM): but I am still verifying one or two GBA games
DreamTR (8:19:55 PM): that may be shoddy
PortnoyC8X (8:19:56 PM): but, with your story, we were right?
DreamTR (8:20:09 PM): that it was only released in Mexico?
PortnoyC8X (8:20:19 PM): yessum
