Difference between Mattel and NES versions NES

[acharris]

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can tell me if there were any difference between between the NES version and Mattel Version of the NES. It just that I have always picked up NES versions at boot sales, but today I got a Mattel Version.

 

Thanks

Anthony

Thanks for that, but I should have said tht I am in the UK and by the looks we had the mattel version first, then the NES version after.

This is from what I know, I maybe wrong...

NES is produced by Nintendo and packaged / managed / sold / distributor by Nintendo Co. LTD. in USA and Japan....

 

In Canada / Great Britain NES is produced by Nintendo Co. LTD of Japan BUT managed by other company's that package and sell / distributor of them there...

 

Mattel in Canada / Great Britain package / sells them there and puts there logo on the package. thats all....

 

Hong Kong, NES / Famicom systems are packaged / managed / distributor / sold by Simon's Toys.... (official NES systems)

 

Brazil packaged / managed / sold by (Gradiente (pirates at first) ) official distributor name now is Playtronics , and also sell Sega too under TecToy name and still makes Sega systems to this date.

 

I hope this helps ???
