    Default Bootleg or Rarity, that is the question.................

    Seems I have come upon something I have not seen before. It is common knowledge that most of the later RPG's for the SNES from Squaresoft for USA/Canada were made in Mexico. I have come upon one that should have been made in Mexico but was made in Japan. Every part of this game says "made" or "printed in Japan", box, cart, instructions, and map. The game in question is one of the great RPG's for the SNES, Lufia II, Rise of the Sinistrals. Everything I can find on this game says for the US it was made in Mexico. Do I have a bootleg? I would really hate to hear those words, but I gotta know.

    Thanks in Advance,

    Doubtful it's a bootleg.
    If it said "made in China" or nothing at all, I'd be more skeptical.

    Post a pic, and we can know for sure.

    I had a check through my collection as I own both US Lufia and US Lufia 2 complete.

    My copy of Lufia 2 is made in Mexico. However my copy of Lufia is made in Japan. So it's a possibility the sequel also had a production run over there too for the US market.
