Title: <Request> Super NES Greek Instruction Manuals
Post by: AlveinHero on August 20, 2015, 03:50:37 PM
I saw a greek manual of Mario Paint. Is there a greek manual of any SNES game? I know that "ΒΙΒΛΙΟ ΟΔΗΓΙΩΝ" means "Instruction Book." Also, The greek manual of a Super Nintendo game has a serial code. for example : SNSP-MP-GRE for Mario Paint and SNSP-A-HM(GRE) for Super NES Mouse.

I do not believe that Greece is an isolated market. To my knowledge, Greece is included in the EUR releases. I am not all-knowing but i cannot believe that you have a manual with those codes. I've never seen a Greek only release for SNES.

I am aware only of Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, France, Spain and the UK. I'm sleepy so did i forget anyone? All other countries receive the EUR copy of games.

edit: other codes can be found, such as Mexico, but Mexico is not a European nation. We are talking about Europe. Specifically Nintendo of Europe which has its headquarters in Deutschland.

I found out just the other day, that a lot of Portuguese releases had the Nintendo seal broken on the outer box in order to put a Portuguese manual inside, and were then resealed with a sticker/tape.

So the outer box is the standard EUR release, but I have no idea what code is on the manual they put in there.

a photo is useless in these technologically driven times. I could make lots of manuals and snap some photos.
if a manual was printed in Greek, it was not printed by Nintendo. In this case, the Itochu Hellas ltd. distributor would've included a manual.
Not an official release. More like a localized manual for marketing SNES in the land of olive oil.

There's the Itochu sticker on the box.

The Itochu sticker says "ITOCHU ΕΠΙΣΗΜΗ ΑΝΤΙΠΡΟΣΩΠΕΙΑ Καρ. Σερβίας 2 - 105 62 - Αθήνα τηλ. 322 25 40 ΑΥΘΕΝΤΙΚΟ ΠΡΟΪΟΝ ΠΕΡΙΕΧΕΙ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΕΣ ΟΔΗΓΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΓΓΥΗΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΕΠΙΣΗΜΗΣ ΑΝΤΙΠΡΟΣΩΠΕΙΑΣ."

Itochu is just a distributor. A distributor wants/desires to sell the products out of market, so they add their own stickers and sometimes even a manual. I have no idea why you would want these manuals because even the games do not offer Greek language. Even if a manual or two can be found, it is not an official release from Nintendo.

I like you Alvein, so don't be offended please.

I highly doubt that anyone at tcp would have a Greek version of a manual.

For collections sake I too would like manuals in different laguages, repros are OK too if I know it's a repro and quality is hyper high.

I have somewhere almost print ready Super Bomberman 3 manual in Finnish (also empty textless version where any language can be put in).

The Itochu sticker is in Greek. but, I think it means "ITOCHU OFFICIAL DELEGATION Kar. Serbia 2 - 105 62 - Athens Tel. 322 25 40 AUTHENTIC PRODUCT CONTAINS GREEK INSTRUCTIONS and WARRANTY of the FORMAL DELEGATION." and "ΚΑΡΤΑ ΔΩΡΕΑΝ ΕΓΓΡΑΦΗΣ" means "FREE REGISTRATION CARD."
