The most common SNES games I encounter.

[VG_Maniac]

Looking back at all the games I listed when I started this thread, most of them are Majesco re-releases. Any game that Majesco re-released is super common, and always much more common than the original release.

This reminds me, has anyone EVER saw the non-majesco re-issue of Super Godzilla?

I think that game used to be rare in it's original release up until the Majesco re-release because of the 98 movie, after all it was licensed by Toho, and i expect that game to be in the same vein as Super Aleste.

I have the original release of Super Godzilla...but it took me forever to find it. There's probably one copy of it out there for every 50 Majesco versions.

I've wondered if the popularity of Frogger could have anything to do with the Seinfeld episode.

Add Metal Combat and Super Caesar's Palace to the list of games I still see regularly sealed for cheap on ebay.
Arkanoid was also pretty common to find cheap sealed, for a late game. Space Invaders I also see a lot loose, even though those and Frogger were the final three NA games.

Pictures please?, that probably would be a unique case of a game that was probably rare up until the Majesco reprint.

If it's like other Majesco releases, the telltale signs on the cart are the molded caution warning, possibly "Made In Mexico" on the front label (not certain though. I think the MAJORITY of original releases were Made In Japan), a B&W manual and an extra line of legal text on the back of the box ("Distributed by Majesco Sales, Inc." or something like that).

Legit and majesco legit later re-do stuff were both done in Mexico from around 1995 I believe. Games like Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG, Wild Guns, Dracula X and others have that.

Here you go.

Well if the super collector nazis you see over at NA get into turning SNES stuff into an expensive pissing contest to the top with SNES variants other than the style of plastic the shell uses (like the gray N64 carts for color carts) I could see even that being an expensive sticker variant at some rate. If you can find like 1 JAPAN to like 10 Mexico games that would show scarcity.

Oh my god, and in pristine condition of all things, that one has the regular grey label on the back right?

Also i think i there is like 4 different versions of Super Star Wars on SNES

1.- The Regular JVC version
2.- The THQ Version
3.- A Version who does have the End label title font in the regular Green Font for games licensed by Nintendo themselves
4.- the Nintendo Player's choise version

Or i am wrong?

[SparTonberry]

I don't think THQ ever published the first game, only the sequels.
Though I do see plenty of JVC copies on ebay in both the older and the new cart cases.

The "end label in green font" is probably the final release, as the E rating replaced the K-A rating (Nintendo re-released several games after the Player's Choice run, with E ratings).

Yeah, it has the regular label on the back.

Do those re-re-releases share things in common with the Majesco re-releases?, like the glossy label and the cheap paper, i own Supper Tennis, (tough it sucks to me as a game) but i have never saw other SNES nintendo titles that have the ESRB rating like that, unless they are ugly custom labels.

[SparTonberry]

E-rated Nintendo re-releases I have are Super Pinball: Behind the Mask and Tetris 2. I've seen photos of SimCity as well.
I checked my Super Pinball. Made In Japan, glossy label.

The E rating was first used in 1998, which is about the end of production for SNES (in 1999, judging by my N64 collection, the ESRB switched the ratings logo from white letters to black, so black K-A is not a real ratings logo).
