Pricing: Do not use as clean CIB/manual pricing evidence: images show cartridge + case and a generic e-manual notice insert, but no game-specific printed manual. Price can be used as 'game + case (no manual)' bundle evidence, or decomposed into case+cart value over time.

Unknown candidates

  • Metroid: Samus Returns (Nintendo 3DS) US variant mapping for UPCs/print runs medium
    Product metadata lists multiple UPCs; images do not show the case back UPC, and only the cart code is partially confirmable. Avoid forcing a specific UPC/print-run variant without barcode/back cover evidence.
    Multiple UPCs in product metadata: 045496591229, 045496744762, 045496591236 | Cartridge label shows LNA-CTR-A9AE-USA (CTR-A9AE-USA family)

Human review questions

  • Is a game-specific printed manual supposed to exist for this release, or is the generic 'Viewing the Game Manual' insert considered complete for CIB in this catalog?
  • Do any listing images (not mirrored here) show the case back UPC to map the exact UPC variant?

Warnings

  • Only front cover and inside-case photo provided; no case back barcode/UPC view.
  • PriceCharting enrichment marks completeness as game_box_manual, but the photos do not show a paper manual—possible completeness mismatch.
