The 8th Passenger Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 I know there is a yellow-label variation on the original NES Metroid game, but did this yellow-labeled game come in a different box as the gray-labeled version, or is it the same gray box? If this does come in a yellow box, I'm looking for one. Thanks in advance for the help. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 8th Passenger Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Actually, I just answered my own question. Guess I should have looked a little bit harder. [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 If you can find the original in the black box, hell yes it would be worth more money, but Metroid is Metroid. Either is worth owning. Of course the yellow version is the rerelease, and it features art for Metroid 2 on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgler Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 There is no black box, only grey and yellow. The yellow is the re- release, but like Grey cart Zelda and Link it is actually harder to find. I say the Yellow version complete is worth more.

Raijin Z Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 original... Most first string NES games were in silver framed boxes, but damn near all of them had black fields for the background, even Contra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nester Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hey, I remember when I got my yellow Metroid. It was Christmas 95 I think. They were selling them at Wal-Mart for 10 dollars. It was a new reissue campaign for the Nintendo. I might still have th box somewhere, but knowing me I probabaly don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I think the yellow version may be just a little bit harder to find. I know a place near me had one boxed for $15, but I have a loose original label copy, I'm not paying that much for a game I already have. No matter which variation, the game rocks.

donkeykong1 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Contra had a silver box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
