Bubble Bobble 2 and Flintstones 2 were both rental only Dan. Blockbuster had exclusive rights to them from what I have seen. They is why they are so hard to find, and getting them CIB is retardedly hard. No clue on production #'s though, only Nintendo and the game manufacturers would know that info.

And why myself and Dr. Morbis will never see copies in the wild. Didn't get any Blockbusters around here until late in the SNES' life ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=636 2007-04-06T12:06:24 -05.00 Redivivus 5 ~~NGD ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=636 2007-04-06T09:05:57 -05.00 Redivivus 5
The perception you may have that they were rental only is largely because at that point NES players I think were saving their dollars for SNES and really only put money into the NES system for rentals. Most rental stores would buy at least one of each new game, meaning that many of the ones on the after-market for all of these titles were likely ex-rentals. Although personally all of the copies I've ever seen of these carts were clean, no stickers, meaning perhaps video stores mirrored chain dept. stores in their passing on these titles. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=636 2007-04-05T16:40:23 -05.00 Redivivus 5
