The first revision will be an 'A', the second revision will be a 'B', and so on. However, if a new version of the ROM was released from the developer to manufacturing, then a letter was appended to the end of the facility code. If your cartridge has the first version of the original ROM you will only see the 2-digit facility number. This number represents the facility/manufacturing line that the cartridge was assembled on. For games with only a sticker on the front (GB, GBC, GBA) the number is impressed on the game label, with the exception of the DS and 3DS, which also have the revision stamped on the back. For any cartridge game with a label on the back (NES, SNES or N64) there is an impressed number on the sticker.

For quality control Nintendo does mark their games with a ROM ID on the outside of the game. What you are really interested in is the ROM version of the game that is on the memory chip on the PCB. Nintendo's own Player's Choice logo is another good example of many label updates that required a new revision number because of the addition of the Player's Choice badge. There are many games that have a standard version and a '-1' revision simply because the ESRB rating was slapped on the label.

In 99% of the cases this is an update to the label.īack in the mid-90's we saw a lot of '-1' games appear because common games that everyone wanted to buy were being distributed when the ESRB was being instituted.

The first one is the '-n' identifier on the end of the serial number which means that something physical about the cartridge has changed. Nintendo has two forms of revision numbers that they use for their cartridge games. These past two weeks, I played both games all the way through (to 100% completion) on the cartridges with the -1 suffixes, so I hope I made the right choice (and don't have to beat myself up for losing the save-games). Can anyone tell me what the difference is and which is the better one to keep? Logic says that the ones with the -1 suffix are newer revisions of the game with bug-fixes or whatever, but I don't know for sure. For example, I have seen walk-throughs and such that list tricks you can do using glitches, which I suspect may not be possible with a newer one.

I still wonder if there is any change to the software itself. Has a 'Players Choice Million Seller' seal on the label.One is labelled NUS-NSME-USA while the other is labelled NUS-NSME-USA-1. Has 27 stamped in black next to 'Important'.Instructions/Warnings:: Has only two in each of English and Spanish.Has a 20 stamped in black next to 'Important'.Instructions/Warnings: Five notes/instructions/warnings (in English).Text Label: takes up the whole edge of the cartridge.One has a model number of SNS-MW-USA while the other is SNS-MW-USA-1. I want to sell the extra copy of each, but I don't know which one to keep since they are slightly different. Petrozzo said.I've got two copies of a couple of Nintendo games ( Super Mario World for the SNES and Super Mario 64 for the N64). The $2 million offer from the anonymous buyer - a collector who is “making big bets in the video game space” - won the approval of three-fourths of the game’s investors, Mr. game for $140,000 in April 2020, and investors shot down a $300,000 offer for it last year. When someone makes an offer to buy one of the items outright, Rally takes that offer to the investors, who vote on whether to sell and cash out their share of the profits, or to decline. The company buys physical collectibles, like comic books and cars, and invites people to invest in shares of the individual items as they would a stock. The past two record sales were made via an auction. “I think that we’re starting to see the natural progression of ‘What else? What are the things that have appreciated in value from my childhood that have that nostalgia?’” Mr. A 1987 Legend of Zelda game cartridge that sold for $870,000 in early July was considered a record, until a 1996 Super Mario 64 game went for $1.56 million just days later. Recently, though, a pair of head-turning sales have jolted interest in the gaming space.
