Cover requests for GBA games (UK, retail)
Tangocow:
All Game Boy Advance
All retail
All UK
A couple of these games already have European covers, but I'm assuming those are different, given that some other games have both listed separately? (If not, please be patient with me - I'm new to this and very anxious not to annoy anyone!)
My partner and I have just moved home and are trying to organise our GBA collection (on top of all the other work we have to do!), so thanks very much to anyone who can help out with these - hugely appreciated :)

No, that is not the case! :)
To this day european games are usually published in only ONE of three ways:
EITHER there is only one uniform "european" version with multiple languages on the box (english, german, french, dutch, spanish, italian), that is the same in every country.
OR each country gets their own version with only their own language on the box.
OR each region gets their own version with 1 or 2 languages on the box.
There might only be very few exceptions.
Donkey Kong Country (1-3), Super Mario Advance (1-4) and Mario Kart Super Circuit were all published as multi-language "european" version.
They don't have dedicated UK english only version. So the covers, that are already on the site, are in fact the correct covers, that were sold in the UK. ;)

Ah, great! Thanks for that, very much appreciated :)
As I say, I tend to be very ignorant about this sort of thing, so it's good to hear I can save a bit of time on those ones!

Come to think of it, is that why their instruction manuals are much larger? I always used to wonder...
