Research status
Structured source record
01

Release context

The documented release is 1993 (the exact day and month are not documented) for Japan / North America on Third-generation revision. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

02

Regional differences

This record is scoped to Japan / North America. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

03

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Cartridge. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

04

Editions and revisions

2 hardware configurations are linked to this family: AV Famicom HVC-101, New-Style NES NES-101.
