This has been moved to here: http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=13707.0  This thread now serves as a place for more information about these carts, since what I've put here is a bit long.

The Wii U VC release of Super Mario Advance 4, while great for including the e-Reader levels, missed out on all other exclusive content, and of course didn't match the original experience. I was able to get my hands on many Japanese cards, and have scanned all content I have into these carts (they have the same content): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanese-Super-Mario-Advance-4-with-e-Reader-Levels-and-Switches-/322644537495?   and  http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/322625009909?  With one of them, you will finally be able to experience the levels the way they were intended to.

The price may seem a bit high, but I payed an insane amount of money for the cards and they're very rare.

I have many duplicate cards as well if anyone's interested. PM me for details, though unfortunately I'm only able to ship to the US.

If enough orders come in, I may be able to get the rest of the cards. I'll keep buying more carts and listing them as long as there's interest.

That link is broken  :-\


Fixed, I think it was changed for some reason when I fixed an error in the listing.

It's a really nice cart, but I have to ask - why didn't you find a ROM that had all the cards installed already?  And are you selling more than one cart?

If this one sells in a reasonable amount of time (which by the page views on both eBay and anywhere I've posted this it will) then I'll sell more. I plan to keep selling them as long as they're getting bought.

To answer the other question, I wanted it to be legit as possible. Most people playing these levels either play the VC release or played it on the patch that was released years ago. But I wanted full compatibility with all cards, on a real cart.

This adds a lot of value to it, as this is very rare, and I only know of one other instance (someone was selling a cart with No Time to Dawdle that at its lowest got to ~200 USD). Like I said, if this sells well enough I may be able to get the rest of the cards, though I'm also working on dumping a couple of rare games and versions of games.

It's definitely a different experience than emulation or VC.

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation - I would actually like to buy one - but I'm outside the US.  If you don't get a buyer, please PM me and we can go from there :)

Do any proxies ship from the US to Hong Kong?

I'm not sure what kind of proxies you mean, TBH I was hoping you'd simply be willing to ship it.  Of course, I'd party the international shipping and I have stellar feedback.  

For a tiny item like this, you wouldn't have any issues.  But I don't want to encroach or pressure.  Hence the 'if it doesn't sell let me know' gesture.  Something to consider.

I'd like to ship international, but it's always seemed like a pain. Still looking into it though, I'll let you know if I'm able to figure it out. Since it's just the UK, that'll make things easier.

It shouldn't be a problem, it just costs a bit more and comes with some perceived risk.  I could be wrong but it what I usually find is that most US sellers that don't want to shop internationally as a rule just are afraid that something will go wrong and therefore don't want the hassle when the chances are they can just sell in the states.  But then once passed that, it's just the same as shipping in the states, it just goes a bit further.  So if I am help you overcome any concerns then I would be more than happy, and should anything go wrong (it won't) then I'm also here to help fully.

But as I said, it's not for me to try and pressure you to c hange your mind, and the chances are you can sell it inside the states reasonably easily and quickly.  Just consider me a backup option if for some reason it doesn't soon enough.

I have a GBA Everdrive that I can load the patches ROM on, but I also think having a physical cart version with all the extras is nice.

Got another two carts listed, updated original post with links. Selling for 30 USD + shipping now, a good bit less than originally listed.
