SNES Bootlegs...or legit?

Check out this SNES shape list for ideas.

There's also Super Scope 6, I'm sure the carts came in both versions.

I think ramp Super Scope 6 is exclusive to Canada.

The font on those labels is off.

The "Licensed by" text in War of the Gems, compare it to this, it's not right.

The MK3 must have had a rear shell swap if it is legit. Any "assembled in Mexico", aka Majesco re-releases, had the embossed plastic rear shell instead of a sticker label.

No, that's not true. Many made in Mexico carts still had a paper label on the back. Just the very newest carts switched over to the molded-in label.


Also, getting back to the lock slot, it should be textured the same as the rest of the cart, not smooth like with those bootlegs.

For the labels, the pink square on the upper right is too far down. Plus, the color is pretty far off the mark on that Lufia label.

That could be, I'll try to check the part numbers at some point if I can get to my box of spare carts. I know I have a bunch of them in both versions.

Definitely fake, I can tell by the labels too, they look very thin and cheap, unlike the normal legit stickers.

Whoever is making these just needs to get advice from Tanooki so the labels can be perfect copies, just put the boards in the correct cases first and they'll be good to go.

No they don't, the last thing people need is knockoffs floating around that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

There's always got to be some asshole troll in every group eh? I hadn't even gone there with it, but you had to. Grow up. Fakes are fakes and you damn well know it as those set of 3 are in that one post with pictures.

Because we all know Tanooki supports pirate SNES games :rollseyes:

Arr yeah matey. :P

I know those fake boards, those are an old design. I even found the Schematics a while back.

War of the Gems? WTF, the real cart sells for only 10 bucks...

I imagine the fake was probably manufactured around the time it was still a current release

All "made in Mexico" carts have paper rear labels. All "assembled in Mexico" carts have embossed rear shells.

I am honestly surprised that Majesco used Elna caps. They must have been salvaged from something else

Ah, nice tidbit there. Thanks
