^That's pretty standard for the Madden. I don't know if there are others but I have seen plenty of the Made in Puerto Rico copies.

The stamped text carts are Assembled in Mexico re-releases by Majesco

Still waiting on some pics there...........see!

Cool, thanks for the info! I learn something new every day.

The Super Famicom release was made in Japan

^I love you

I stand corrected, I thought for sure my sealed copy was MIJ but I have been wrong before.

I have a NBA Live 98 that's made in Puerto Rico.

I got my first Assembled in Mexico game ever today in the mail - Goof Troop. I feel like those rereleases must not have made it to the northeast very often, because I never recall seeing a game with a stamped back until this one.

This is an old thread, but since I never weighed in, I do prefer Majesco releases if they look nice. Since the labels on the SNES carts are more susceptible to damage and the carts themselves seem to be more rare, a nice Majesco cart is good.

I'd take a Castlevania Bloodlines cardboard box over the hard case just because they are more fragile.

I just got a Spongebob Squarepants Video GBA Vol 3 CIB the other day (R8 woot!), and good ol' Majesco made it. They are everywhere these days, the extensive Cooking Mama series, A Boy and His Blob, Guilty Gear, etc. They must be a pretty big company by now.

I have the Made in Mexico version of Castlevania IV and it has the black and white manual and the cartridge label lacks the gloss of the Made in Japan version.

I made a thread on this years ago.

They switched over from made in japan to made in mexico in jun/july 95.

Titles released after that date, with a very few exceptions, exist only as 'made in mexico.'

assembled in mexico is of course different and refers to majesco reprints circa 97/98
