    Fake DS game?

    I got this off ebay and it just doesn't look right to me.

    Firstly, it was in normal shrinkwrap rather than a proper seal.

    The print on the cover, mainly the back and spine just looks a bit off to me. Some of the very small text is kind of blurred.

    The manual seems to look ok and the cart too and has the code on the back although I'm sure pirates have this too now?

    Any experts at spotting fakes here?

    Thanks alot.

    To me, the front looks fine, but the white text on the background looks a bit strange. But that could just be the camera/lens?

    Looks pretty legit overall to me.

      Looks genuine to me, tbh

        I can't see anything fishy from the pictures.

          My camera is pretty old so that's why the second photo is a blurry mess.

          Thanks for the input guys, it seems that this one is genuine.

            Lots of official DS games in the US are wrapped in standard film. The white warranty card is a very good indicator that it's genuine. Pirates don't make too much effort to trick people looking out of legit games, they want to catch casual buyers or people who know they are getting pirate carts. So printing out a seperate warranty card is not very profitable for pirates.

              Its genuine. Pirate US carts come in PAL transparent boxes in case you were wondering.
