Topic: The Kore Gang

Hello there. New forum poster, but I've followed the articles and reviews on this website for a long time.

I recently purchased a new copy of The Kore Gang off of Glyde and I had some questions about whether or not this is the American version of it.

Sorry for the blurry pic, but the first reason I ask is because there are numbers printed on the side of the game box itself where it opens up: http://i40.tinypic.com/30vki6b.jpg

Over the box, instructions and disc there is both English and what I believe is French. This makes me think that maybe this is coming from Canada? But since this is a small title that barely made it to market perhaps they just did the multiple language thing to cover all of their North American bases?: http://i44.tinypic.com/2u46mhf.jpg

Then the construction of the case concerns me. I thought Nintendo switched over to the recycled cases with the recycle arrow punch through on front of the box and whatnot. But here, that isn't the case and this is a recently released game. Secondly, the case material doesn't feel like the usual plastic. It feels like some kind of recycled plastic composite.: http://i43.tinypic.com/2zdw0er.jpg

But it does have the official Nintendo Wii logo etched into the case, making me think this is legit.: http://i39.tinypic.com/73f5hu.jpg

So to get to the point of all of this: Did anyone else here purchase The Kore Gang in America?

If so, did the box, instructions, and disc have multiple languages on it?

Did your box have those numbers printed along the edge where it opens?

Or did I get sent something from Canada?

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

i haven't purchased this game myself, but having box info and manual information printed in both English and French (or English and Spanish, or a combination of the three) is quite common here in NA. Also, since this wasn't a first-party title, they might not have made the switch over to the punched-out cases yet, maybe? if they had prior stock left of the old ones they'd probably want to burn through those before making a switch to the new ones — if third parties are indeed making the switch, idk.

I guess what is throwing me for a loop is the numbers printed on the side of the case. I've NEVER seen that before on Wii, Xbox, DS, or GameCube.
