Castlevania Doublepack Fake? help

[Karstondh]

I bought this Castlevania double pack off of ebay because it looked real; However when I received it I noticed that the cartridge was a little bigger than my other games. I took it apart and all of the numbers match to what the real game should be.

Did I buy a fake?

[Ack]

Gut says yes. Look at the differences in the thickness of the Game Boy Advance lettering at the tops of your two carts.

Your ESRB rating is also slightly different from the images I can find of Castlevania Double Pack carts and boxart. The ones I see for the Double Pack have "CONTENT RATED BY" written over ESRB and have white letters on black background. The version found on your cart appears on the ESRB website.

far as I can tell it looks good to me!

There is a nintendo logo right above the metal contacts, so that's a plus.

I have the same label sticker on that game.

Another way to see if there's a legit game, is to see if there is a small number stamped onto the game's label.

I've seen lots of legit gba carts with little numbers stamped on them.

I dont open carts so I'm sure someone else can tell me if the insides are legit.

There are no numbers stamped in the label sadly...

It's 100% fake. Looking at my copy the "Castlevania" font is completely wrong and is missing the registered trademark symbol. The background is also supposed to be more textured and not solid black.

See here:

Also the real PCB for this game doesn't have a glob top in it.

Yeah looks fake to me too. Here's a pic of a real cart:

The font is thicker on the real thing.

Thank you. I will be contacting the seller soon. Hopefully I can get a full refund.

Fake as my boobies.

Track down the seller and ANNIHILATE him.
