That IS odd. Are you sure that this box actually have the official color?

That is because I am pretty sure that I saw a silver box series version somewhere as well. Could someone tell me more about the Black box and the silver box series?

PS: Is not this also the second release of the game? The early cartridges are just colored and almost without any pictures and all as you can see in this very early commercial of the FAMICOM;

As far I can remember it also came in a purple box (same color as the cartridge?)

Edit: Now this is interesting.....FAMICOM Sports Collection!

Early Famicom cartridges came with a "pulse line" design.

Read here.

So yes, the cart should be split since its a rerelease that goes with a silver box. The purple box goes with the pulse line cart and is the original.

Should be fixed now,
