I’ve been looking for a copy of Ninja Warriors and I came across this listing.

The user didn’t take a picture of the pcb board and two things point to it being a repro. First, the trademark symbol for Ninja Warriors is to the left of the Taito logo. The authentics that I’ve seen have the trademark aligned about the Taito logo. Second, the back of the cart doesn’t have the Nintendo logo engraved in it under the sticker. It’s just blank.

Do you agree? If so, I feel bad for whoever buys it.

Edit: I reported this and messages the seller. The auction has been ended.

Yeah that's a fake. I bought a game from someone here a few days ago and they included this exact repro for free because we did a lot of business together. It looks exactly like mine which is a fake lol it's missing the engraved Nintendo and I'm pretty sure you can't even get to the board, those screw heads are plastic and I think they are fake. I tried to get them off for fun and check the board out but they wouldn't budge. The label is all blurry and not sharp which is usually a dead giveaway. NA members should be promoted to eBay special video games fraud division.

faaaaake. Any SNES game I look at, my eyes are always drawn to the screws first. If its not metal, keep going. Metal? ok, could still be fake but lets keep digging.
