Where it came from, what we did to it
A complete Japanese import copy of Pikachu Genki Dechu — released in the West as Hey You, Pikachu! — for Nintendo 64, with the original VRU voice-recognition unit and headset microphone set. Tested in-game: the cartridge boots and plays properly, and both VRU detection and microphone response were confirmed working. The box shows shelf wear, edge wear, and some creasing, and the inserts and manuals show normal age-related wear, while the cartridge label remains in good condition. This is the Japanese release, so some knowledge of Japanese may be needed for the full gameplay experience.
Flaws we found
- Box has visible shelf wear, edge wear, and some creasing
