Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle, and the Med risk tier means it is worth checking before paying. A Western cart has no notch in its shell, so a flat shell with a notch is a repro sign, and it is sensible to ask for a photo of the board. The Japanese cart usually costs far more than the US one, and its cartridge has a different shape, so it needs an adapter or two plastic tabs removed from a Western console's slot.
