It's been discussed before. The ROM in the repro carts is likely watermarked, and the owner of the cart is busy and currently unequipped or unwilling to dump it. It will find its way out when it finds its way out.

Never knew about the canceled Famicom version. Though it sounds like the only difference, beyond the language, is how text appears on the screen?

Well, the guy bought it off Yahoo Japan Auctions through a proxy, so I don't think he'd have much to fear from the Japanese prototype Mafia. :D
(though I guess as to the watermark, you'd need two repro owners willing to dump theirs, I guess.)

Still in discussion at FW to get this dumped.It's not really a priority seeing as how little difference there is to the US release. He seems willing to to have it dumped, but we (users on FW) need to make sure we have facility to do so guaranteed, as it likely cost him a good chunk of change and there's no likelihood of replacement. I'll drop him another PM soon and see what he thinks about lending it out for a dump. If I can get a go ahead, I will hit up kevtris or Sard. Who else is on the short list of trusted dumpers? I admit I haven't been keeping up.

I sacrificed a Duck Hunt. Wonder if eventually Gyromite will become rare from all the gamers destroying copies to make FC adapters!
