For y´all who havent seen it before! ISS deluxe (SNES) pics

[suppafly]

Hey guys!!

last week I started a thread in the BUy N Sell forum asking for an appraisal for this game (someone I knew was selling it here in mexico)

Anyway..the game has arrived..I might be interested in selling it, but im not sure yet. Here are the pics for all snes collectors...enjoy!!!

(the box, manual, and EVERYTHING is in english) I hope these pics settle the discussion about this game being real and *maybe* being sold in the US too. ...

Why else would konami print the box and manuals in english if they knew it was going to me sold ONLY in latin america?...

now THATS what I call professional packaging. The custom-made box where the game was shipped in has the trader´s business card too :eek 2:

Just for a quick laugh...I took the pics over my dog´s mat. In the last pic you can see part of him at the bottom...he was leaving to sleep somewhere else....

3 minutes later...

[suppafly]

say what you will, this is a US release....

[D_N_G]

say what you will, this is a north american release...

[suppafly]

say what you will, this is a north american release...


yes, definitely. I think this game should be listed in the US release list.

[eightbitonline]

what's the model #?

[suppafly]

Where do I find that number? What could it be used for? :hmm:

[grayejectbutton]

Where do I find that number? What could it be used for? :hmm:

Bottom left corner of label (e.g. SNS-4M-USA). As for what it's used for, it helps determine the country the game was intended for. For example, US releases have 'USA' and Canadian releases have 'CAN'. There shouldn't be any such thing as a "North American" release; it's done on a country by country basis in the Americas.

It's a pretty rare game. In my opinion, the DP Rarity Guide has ISS undervalued. I've NEVER seen one in the wild and I've never even seen one on ebay, despite searching many times. Funnily enough, the PAL version is extremely common, perhaps not surprising given the popularity of soccer in Europe versus the US.

I think the same way. This game should be in the US release list, and yes, its currently being undervalued by the guide. Soccer is the most popular sport here in Mexico, and im sure thousands of these game were sold here. BUT back then, there were no collectors, so almost every copy i´ve ever seen is either loose or incomplete. This is the first complete copy i´ve ever seen too....

[D_N_G]

ok lets clarify.

The game had a North American release, it did not have a US release from all the information available

Mexico = North America

The game may have been intended for sale in the States but never made it out here

Same goes for the standard ISS

So that means it shouldnt be in the DP list of US releases? Where would you put it then?

[D_N_G]

If the section remains titled "US releases" it will go in the "Non US releases" section.(was there for the last guide but got cut for space constraints.)

If it is renamed to the "NA Release"section it will go there instead

[DreamTR]

DNG, Nintendo does not go by "US releases" only, and neither should we. The whole section should be revamped and titled 'North American releases" and ISS Deluxe should have a byline stating that the game was released in Latin American only. Every major company does this for their systems, as they are released in region form, but might be distributed elsewhere.

I'm not sure this is correct. The fact that you can get USA and CAN versions of SNES games indicates that Nintendo does - or did - releases games to individual North American countries. I remember this from a thread a while back where somebody had a Canadian version of either Super Mario World or Allstars (I forget which). The only difference in the cart was the game number on the label, which had 'CAN' instead of 'USA' on it.

[Predatorxs]

Hey Suppafly, if you could, please check the code on the cart (bottom left of the front label) it should start SNS - XX -XXX (something like that) now see if the code is also on the box and the instruction manual..

Now Basically see if they all match up.

(PS) Thanks for the front cart pic as well ;)

[evg2000]

Not that it clears anything up, but in the second photo next to the barcode it says "FOR SALE, RENTAL AND USE ONLY IN USA, CANDA, MEXICO AND LATIN AMERICA."

later,

[D_N_G]

DTR I agree, but it is Joe's decision whether to retitle or not, I would do it and think its a great suggestion.


To the others, the game DID NOT see a US release, there are other instances of the same thing where the game was intended to be released but did not make it for some reason or the other. Hence the US part number and the intended for sale statement

[SoulBlazer]

Yes, could we please see what the model number is?

Bottom line, the game COULD be sold in the US and it probaly WAS sold in the US in SOME way, shape or form.

[DreamTR]

suppafly you have two PMs.

[suppafly]

The code in the lower left part of the front label of the cartridge is:

SNS-AWJE-USA

The code in the top part of the instruction booklet cover is the same.

[qbertandernie]

if this is a US release, great, but i could give a whistle about anything that is solely a mexican or canadian release.

why no love for us mexicans? we no good games?

[hydr0x]

don't worry soniko_karuto, just the usual US ignorance :evil:

....

just kidding, please, don't take it serious :)

[soniko_karuto]

no offense taken, but still, everything is in english, so IT IS an USA release.

[Slipdeath]

Being Mexican, and visiting Mexico constantly, I can't believe that anything non-pirate was released over there.

[qbertandernie]

it seems as though this could very well be a US game that saw limited release. seems in the same vein as Chavez II, though i have no basis for this theory. but, until someone with scads more knowledge than me says 'yup, this was sold in US stores', or until i get down to needing 5 SNES games to complete my set, im not too worried about acquiring it.

as for the mexicans having bad games? nah, im just more of a U.S. games(and i dont mean the folks who gave us 'winter games') guy, not into imports of any kind.

hydrox: no offense taken! :)

I lived in Brazil in the mid-ninties and played ISS and ISS deluxe extensively. I only bought ISS in Brazil since they were rediculously expensive due to the weak dollar at the time. I though for sure that I could pick up ISS deluxe for cheaper in the US. I looked everywhere for it for YEARS and finally had someone from Brazil send me a copy of the game.

Regardless of what the label on the box states, I don't believe that it was distributed in the US.

[eightbitonline]

i think the USA extension on the cart clinches it.

and for the record, i'm canadian and only a select few things get a -CAN extension. most canadian releases are the -USA extension. only extremely high volume stuff from the big N themselves (like some SMB/DH and SMB3 carts) saw -CAN extensions, probably because they were games produced constantly for two or more years or were pack-ins, etc. and therefore would warrant a canadian assembly line, instead of the usual practice of grabbing copies of the game from a US distributor or NOA themselves.

There is only one game released in Canada that didn't have the exact same game rom as the US release, and that is the French version of The Legend of Zelda.
