Nothing : (
For the most part Japanese game systems do not come with pack-in games,
especially when the system is first released.
However, somethimes later in a systems life the maker will add a
pack-in game to help with slumping sales. The Sega Mega Drive comes to mind in that some later models of
the MD came with Sonic. Also, some Saturn models came with Christmas Nights.
I don't know if not having a pack-in is a 'stinginess' on the part of
the maker, or a way of keeping the prices down, but the worst I saw was the SFC, where the 'cheaper'
model I bought didn't even come with an AC adaapter or AV cabels (though in Nintendo's defense, FC
cabels and adapters worked on the SCF & VB).
