Before you buy

Among Japanese carts it is one of the priciest, and the risk tier is Medium. The Japanese cartridge has a different shape from a Western one, so it needs an adapter or two plastic tabs removed from a Western console's slot. At this price ask for a clear photo of the board before you buy.
