StanJr Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Is the yellow label NES Metroid any more or less rare than the regular label version? Variable Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 All I know is that it's the rereleased one...it's probably a little rarer but not so much that it should affect price or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 It's not rare at all. I've come across both label variants, the generic early one, and the more elaborate re-release. Speaking of re-releases, I always kinda wanted Nintendo to re-release the original Super Mario Bros. with a more elaborate label. Though I will admit, when you compare it to the other two SMB games, that is part of it's charm, simple old SMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2600 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Punch Out also was re-realeased with a new lable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 The re-release of Punch-Out is a somewhat different game from the original. Mike Tyson is gone, replaced by Mr. Dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Well, which one is prettier? I mean, I'm partial to the original since it is in that "classic" NES style, but is the yellow one better? And to me THERE IS NO PUNCH OUT lest it be MIKE TYSON's Punch out. I'm so pretty Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratwurst Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 By default I'd say the original label's better. The reissue is just the same art found on the gameboy Metroid's packaging. Nintendo even used the art for a /Super Metroid/ poster. Shameful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 And to me THERE IS NO PUNCH OUT lest it be MIKE TYSON's Punch out. Agreed, but I've still tried to get the other version on eBay just to own a LVAR for NES. And you might as well call me StanJrJr, because tonight I ate half of a taco pizza (medium) and took a nice long nap afterwards - just woke up a half hour or so ago!

King Atari Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Agreed, but I've still tried to get the other version on eBay just to own a LVAR for NES. What's a LVAR? I used to have a boxed copy of the re-issue, but traded it for Chiller. I want the Mike Tyson version anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcadefan Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 The Legend of Zelda and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link were also re-released. The only difference is that the re-release cartridges are are gray. The original cartridges are gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Agreed, but I've still tried to get the other version on eBay just to own a LVAR for NES. What's a LVAR? Short for Label Variation. L-Var. I have more friggin' 2600 LVAR's than I know what to do with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its GREAT to be me, isn't it? Ok, I think I'll get the old school label then! Thanks peeps! Decisive Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Label variant, I get it. Label variants are cool when there's two or three, but when there's a slew of them, it can be a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
