I got a Contra Pirate on Famicom, It's the NES version
How many NES Games were pirated on the Famicom
Virtually every NES game whose FC counterpart uses distinct mappers or only had an FDS release like:
-Bubble Bobble
-Jackal
-Rush'n Attack
Except for Metroid/Kid Icarus. ??? Wonder why I haven't seen those yet.

A friend of mine has Metroid: http://www.flickr.com/photos/13721319@N08/4004701597/
But I too have never seen a Famicom cartridge of Kid Icarus.
Well let me give a list
Bonk's Adventure
Mighty Final Fight
Super Mario Bros. 3
Yoshi
Yoshi's Cookie
Tetris
Have those games ever been pirated on a Famicom Cart?
I've seen all of those.... except Tetris, if you do indeed mean the Nintendo version of Tetris. I do have a Tetris cart for the Famicom, but it's the Tengen game.
Well manly the NES versions of
Bonk's Adventure
Mighty Final Fight
In a Pirate Famicom Cart
Ive seen Famicom pirates of US exclusive titles like Kick Master, Darkman, & Low G Man.
What I havnt seen much of is pirates of European exclusive games. Ive seen a Ufouria pirate once, but never Noahs Ark, The Smurfs, or Asterix.
Ufouria was released in Japan as Hebereke, though. But yeah, I've seen plenty of Famicom pirate carts of NES exclusives, they're quite cool. I have some of them, a few of my favourites being Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak and TaleSpin. It's wonderful, because so many glorious NES games were never officially released on Famicom, just as is the case vice versa.
True, Ufouria was released in Japan. but theres major differences between character sprites when comparing the two.
I have a pirate hack of Talespin called "Red Pig" I believe they were trying to rip off the animated film "Porco Rosso" with that hack.
It'd be tough to quantify. Nearly every NES-exclusive I've wanted I've found pirated. Most NES games with Famicom cart releases weren't pirated. Easier to get a hold of the Famicom cart versions I guess.
I think most of the US exclusives have been pirated at some point, but good luck finding any pirates of European games. :-\

Well, I have a pirate cart of Banana Prince coming in the mail for me, I think it might be of the European version. I'll see when it arrives.

Well, the only European games I have for the Famicom are on a 150 in 1 I own: Probotector 2 (included twice for some reason, which is especially dumb considering that Super Contra's on there as well ::)) and Dropzone.
Ah, I've never even heard of Dropzone, that's pretty cool. There are also those Famicom cartridges of Codemasters games, like Micro Machines, Dizzy, and whatnot... the ones that are most commonly available in Poland. However, I'm not quite sure that those are pirated, I guess they might be licensed by BIC.
;D

This game belongs to my friend from Poland
Anymore Games that arein Full Engish?

That post should basically say. Hi I am Yakuza I am a liar and a thief who sells bootlegs and/or steals people's money.

Yes, I saw your message on the two or three other threads here. Please stop bumping threads that Yakuza posted in (years ago at that) to keep repeating the same thing over and over. Yakuza wasn't even the OP here, and you derailed a perfectly good thread to do something that (at this point) basically amounts to spam, imo. If you have a problem with that user, please PM a mod about it.
Now getting back to the thread at hand. I have seen a lot of games where the NES version had been used in a pirate. A lot of Whirlwind Manu carts of FDS ports, they made a FDS port version, as well as a NES cartridge version.
Is the Piratre version of Batman: Return of the Joker in Engish?
It's most likely just a copyright hack of the NES version so I'd assume it is.

Come to think of it, me neither. Tengen's Tetris is common on multicarts, and so is BPS's deeply flawed version. Never ever seen Nintendo's Tetris. I know it wasn't released on Famicom, but it does make me wonder why the pirates never bothered.

I might be wrong on this, but I think the reason for that is that the Tengen and BPS versions run on the CNROM mapper whereas Nintendo's version runs on MMC1. My guess is that they didn't wanna bother porting it to a different mapper because there's other versions available in the first place.
Ahh true. The MMC1 mapper isn't as common in pirates. I mean they do exist, but not often.

Nice, Thanks
Some companies made NES usa ports to Famicom pirate carts, I have this:
Tiny Toon Adventure: The japan versión uses the VRC4 mapper, the USA version uses MMC3, always you will find the usa versión.
Target Renegade, the usa and copyrighted version.
All The Simpsons games: Only relased in english.
Batman trilogy, all versiones are in english.
Shadow Warriors (Ninja Gaiden 1) the most common versión is the PAL version, but unplayable.
Félix the Cat,
The Flinstones 1 & 2
Snow Bros and Little Mermaid sometimes you can find the USA versión, or sometimes the japanese version.
Castlevania 1 y 2
And more.....
