Metroid yellow label.

Stupid question:

Found a NES Metroid, Yellow Label version.  I've seen a lot of the sprite gray version, not this one.  It has a typo: "Mad in Japan" instead of "Made in Japan".  do all yellow labels have this typo?

    Mine does. I'm guessing they all do, or the majority at least.

    Wow, I never noticed that before. That's crazy. I wonder why they didn't release a -2 to correct it?

    If I've learned one thing collecting NES, it's that anything is possible (ie, 3-screw DK Jr. Math? WTF?!)

    We dont notice it now, they didnt notice it then. Could be a movie title: Angry Asian Man 2: Mad in Japan!

    They must've been "mad in Japan" back in those days. I'm still searching for a Metroid w/yellow label in the wild.

    **edit** i didn't read all of the "mad in japan' jokes already made. whoops. lol

  • zizi
    I'm always mad in Japan. always.

    that's crazy that someone just notices it now. i've never noticed that either. nice catch.

    I wonder if any of the yellow Metroids actually say "Made in Japan".



    Variant collectors look out! image

    I just handed my wife the cart and asked her to spot the error. It took her about 15 seconds before she noticed. What a great find!
