Before you buy

The Japanese cart is a different, smaller shape that does not fit a Western console without an adapter, so check your hardware first. The Paddle Control is required, so ask whether it is included. Loose, the cart sits well above the middle of the Japan-only games. For a copy at this price, ask for a photo of the board and compare it with the board listed on this page.
