Game Case IDs
I noticed there are two additional IDs for each game on the back of the game case, on the bottom right. Should these be documented? Examples:
Zelda BotW - HAC P AAAAA CAN | 105212A Disgaea 5 - HAC P AACAC | DISS-SWI-US-VG
"CAN" is obviously Canada, but that might just be an ID to signify the packaging and have nothing to do with the cartridge/contents. The secondary ID is what has my interest. -Ehm (talk) 18:30, 10 June 2017 (CDT)
