Variation or separate entry question

[sharp]

I wonder why Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy +  (U-182-S-00660-B) is currently listed as varition. I wanted to add my ukv version but as my surprise it's listed as a variation of the original release. On the otherhand Mario bros for the NES has two separte entries (E-027-S-03750-A and E-027-S-00293-A). As the differences between the Mario Bros games are smaller then the two version of Ace Combat I wonder which way is the correct one.

That's because those two entries for Mario Bros. are actually different games. The first one you linked to is actually based off the FDS game Kakettekita Mario Bros while the other is based on the original 1983 release.

I've never heard that before! Very interesting!

I see that German release also has an Italian release linked to it. Is that really this second version.

If so its another to add to my get list as I'm going for the complete PAL A set

Just to add to my own post above, a quick eBay reveals there is an Italian GiG release of Mario Bros with the same artwork as the German Classic Serie.

So the question is, different game or just different artwork?

If different game then that means us PAL A collectors will have 297 licenced games to find, not 296!
