Konami Classic Series Label Variations for USA NES Games?
Am i losing my mind, or did I not know about these for the USA market? I went to the flea market today, and found a Blades of Steel with a red label, and NES-VS-USA-1 as the part number. The back has those post 1992 looking precaution labels. I was aware this was released in Europe, but the USA? Anyone have any thoughts?
As far as I know (and I know you know more than me), Blades of Steel has 3 (I think... at least 2) different labels. I don't think all the other Konami labels have this.
Yeap, I have the red classic series label. Not rare, but definitely uncommon. I am not sure if there is a box or manual variation, as I only have the cart.
No other US Konami NES games were made with this label I believe. Unless someone can prove me wrong.

I am aware of the other label variations with the different seals, but this was new to me!
The box had a red strip on the top and said "Konami Classic Series". Don't remember if the manual was different though.Originally Posted by grandamchandler
There is a box and manual variation. The box sez konami classic schmak while the manual matches up with the part number.
to my knowledge, only three variations fo blades of steel exist.

I have the Blades of Steel variant
I have the Blades of Steel Variant as well, cart only. That is the only one I have seen in the US with a classic red label

It's not just a red strip. The whole front of the box is surrounded by a red border just like the cart label.
The manual is pretty much the same except for a "-1"
