But it is being attempted.
Here's kind of what we're up agianst:
I have several CIB copies of Street Fighter II. The boxes are all the same except for one small detail, One of the tabs has a white number in the center. I have 4 'variations' one with nothing, a 1, a 4, a 5 & two with a 6
For now keep checking the Database.
There is a Master list I've been working on. Just taking me a really long time to keep at it. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=137462 2014-11-01T15:12:38 -05.00 16BitsOfSNES 14 Originally posted by: lojack44

Yeah I have that same box. It's just the Canadian release version with the orange "only for Nintendo" mark on top. Also the game pics on the back are a bit different, and no "only for Nintendo" on the sides



Just for the sake of keeping record I thought I'd take some pics of my box to compare. As you can see, the cover in the top right is noticeably different from lojack44's box, along with the back having a different boss battle in the top left screenshot. I'll also include these pics of a repro box I have lying around. It's very well made, but an obvious fake, along with reproduction written on the back although its not pictured.

Also, Why dont we have a thread for SNES variants? Or do we? Too new to know. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=137462 2014-11-01T14:01:57 -05.00 16BitsOfSNES 14 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=137462 2014-11-01T13:25:19 -05.00 16BitsOfSNES 14 Originally posted by: lojack44

Now that I know it's real I wanna get this variation. Another 90 or so dollars on uselessness. Damn xD. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=137462 2014-11-01T13:18:29 -05.00 16BitsOfSNES 14

Based on the close-up picture though my gut is telling me it's not a repro (and I'm decently schooled on this subject)... and instead is a foreign variant like was suggested since the manual looks French/Canadian.

I have a French/Canadian version of Tetris 2 and the back of the box for instance has different pictures of gameplay then the American release... so the various versions of games out there DO have differing boxes, so it's possible this is a legit box but just different. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=137462 2014-11-01T02:26:33 -05.00 16BitsOfSNES 14 ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=137462 2014-10-31T22:27:27 -05.00 16BitsOfSNES 14 Originally posted by: alekx

Im interested in this because most of the time fake boxes miss the mark on cardboard color but this one seems to be correct.

This. Having to admit buying repro boxes as temporarys to get the real deal, they all were white on the inside as they were printed on industrial style business card paper.  ]]>
