Post by: TurboGrafxer AKA DCer on January 12, 2007, 12:24:11 AM
i was organizing my nes games and i noticed on my 'super spike v'ball' cart it says NES-VJ-CAN and all my other games end in USA. plus the cover is bilingual: "it's real pro vollyball action! de l'action comme chez les pros!". the caution sticker on the back is bilingual too. (c) nintendo 1985 CAN.

Those are quite common up here, it's one of those "almost as plentiful as SMB/Duckhunt" games.  :P Anywhere from $.50 to $5 loose, around $10 complete in box from the ones I've seen.

It has a different label, box, manual and serial numbers but still a US game, so it's definately a major region US minor region Canada.

Agreed, although it makes for an interesting subset...and some American collectors are actively seeking to collect them all, but there is no definitive list of -CAN games anywhere.  It's presumed that every Nintendo-published title (minus the Classic Series games) had a -CAN variant, but there are a few games that I'm not so sure about (for starters, can someone confirm a -CAN Stack Up?).

I am looking for any CIB -CAN game if anyone happens to have any for sale for a decent price.  It is going to be my next subset to collect cause my HES collection is starting to wind down a bit.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
