This article is an advanced guide for how to spot fake Nintendo Console games. First up is the GBA:
1. The actual colour of the cartridge will be over saturated or lighter than normal. They may even be a completely different colour.
2. The sticker on the cartridge may be wrong. for example the nintendo seal of quality may be strecthed or the sticker will show a malformed picture of the box it came in.
3. If it came in a box, there is another way to tell if it is fake. The box may be very waxy to touch.
4. Another way is the game manual. It may describe a completely different game.
5. The inability for the game to save.
For DS:
1. The black number on the back of the cartridge won't be there if it is fake.
2. if you shake it, a part may be loose and rattling.
3. The gold coloured contacts may be over saturated in tone.
4. The sticker on the cartridge may be different to what it should.
5. It won't come in a box, unless someone hasbought the game and used that to sell the fake one.
6. The game will not load up or work at all.
For Gamecube and Wii:
1. The print on the disc will be like those of a quick cd label printer (applies to wii).
2. The game will only just fit in the gamecube (on the black circle in the middle. doesn't apply to wii).
3. It will load at all (applies to wii).
With this guide you will quickly be able to spot fake nintendo games and thus save you money.
