Game Tips #1 👀How to tell the difference between a Reproduction GBA game from an Authentic copy🎮 

Good ole Nlhtehdo! I personally love the Lergnd if Zildlo

Another important point, and a lot of copies fortunately have this, is a crookedly pasted front label.

Thank you for choosing The Minish Cap specifically for the video! 🙏 Oh yeah, back in 2014 when I started collecting I paid $60 for a copy so it's been expensive for a long time lol. $75-80 is a good price if they're legit. There are a bunch of copies on eBay right now that would make me a little paranoid if I were in the market for one

Also, when taking the cartridge apart the screws differ as well..fake carts have pointy screws and are bright in color, real carts screws have flat ends and are a little duller in color.

Thanks for the video. I was worried I got scammed when I bought Metroid off eBay because there was no ware on the cart or label. However it passed all the test. Now I’m just excited I got a nice copy of the game.

Thanks for making this vid! It helped me suss out whether or not a friend's copy was fake. All the signs are there. Much appreciated.

Great vid, just forked up 80 dollars on ebay, will check when i get it. Cant wait to play it when my Analogue pocket arrives next week as well.

Great detailed video, Nate👍. Just what we all needed.

Thank u its very quality information for what i searching for, i live in Ukraine in Krivoi Rog and here in market u can find gba games like for 3 to 5 $ and even seller don't properly dat games is pirated copy or original, but not i know and it will help my to collecting for my GBA, ty man.

Awesome video been looking to add some new GBA games to my collection and this will help me a lot.

Noticed that my own Minish Cap repro with the US label actually had the EUR rom revision. Yours seems to be the correct revision.

Thank you this is very helpful!

The game boy advance on the replica is a finer less italics font

I just realized I have a reproduction one. But I think I $30 for that game, and four swords.

I just but thought that game yesterday, to go with my new gba SP. Thank you for putting my worries to rest, I have an authentic version of it. 😊

I wonder when my plan is going to be important. My plan seems to suffer to your plans. Lmk.

I've noticed most repos have that big nasty black blob on the boards too. :\

Thanks for the tips! Is this the same for PAL copies?

Is there a performance difference? Between the real and fakes? Other than saving capabilities

Also the Nintendo seal looks kinda off

OK, so if you're buying a repro, just to play... And you know it's a repro, cause you only paid five bucks on aliexpress.... Is there a quality difference? Or would I not even notice?

Thanks i almost sell a fake one by mistake

I was looking at my game and there is no number on the cartridge, but everything else checks off a legit? Is the game still real.

Ive heard chinese copies dont run right?

So if I buy a reproduction game on purpose, will it be problematic

It’s unfathomable to see how many North American retro shoppers carelessly spend on overpriced Pokémon copies. I’ve saved so much money building my collection of N!nt0ndo games by sorting for the lowest price. LOL JK
