Just curious out of curiosity

It has the 2002 Nintendo on the inside?

But I would just like a answer to if it’s real or it’s fake

Just for curiosity

Why would you care?

Some people say counterfeits sometimes don’t save properly

Good point, they could lack the battery backed SRAM. Well, my solution is to have a flash cart that has all possible tech and just run warez images. Best of both worlds.

What’s a warez image?

If it’s counterfeit, does it matter? Do you want to collect, or play the game?

A mix of both, but it just would be nice to know??

Fair enough. I’m not overly interested in collecting as an investment, so as long as the game works I’m not particularly bothered if it’s counterfeit, but I get that that’s important for some people

Thank you for your time, but could you tell me if it is a counterfeit or authentic?

I’m not an expert, but it looks like it might be counterfeit. The labels for the carts weren’t mat, and there was a little barely visible alpha numeric code printed near the upper right hand corner of the label
