    Default NES tetris - Canadian with French writing question

    This is probably a silly questions, but I picked up a copy of the regular Nintendo Tetris, and the front has the two slogans on the front in English and French, and the back label does as well, in the right hand corner of the back label, it says CAN

    Were a lot of these made? I'm guessing it's not worth more than the regular US, but maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong

    I looked in the DP guide but saw no mention of a difference

    Thanks guys!

    All of the copies distributed in canada would have been produced that way as we're officially bilingual, so a lot of our packaging has both french and english labelling.

    Our population is about 10% of yours so probably 10x as rare as a US copy, which is still not rare.

    No real price difference on a loose copy.

    Yes, there were. From what I've seen, Nintendo in particular has seem to have had pretty large print runs on both their US and Canadian lines. I don't think that that Tetris is a rarity.
