If I were super rich I'd get a big, gold chain Mr. T necklace to hang this cart from to show the world my financial status. Who needs a rolex when you've got this kind of bling

I do so love that promo cart and munch box, but yeah, the price is plain silly.

JUST A HEAD's UP, Nintendoage is issuing a warning regarding this auction and the apparent "NES Zelda Test Cart":

What's the warning? Is the cart not legit? I know those LoZ test carts are supposed to be rare.

Edit: Cart is fake, found the link- http://nintendoage.com/forum/categories.cfm?catid=3

According to the ninendoage forum, this copy of Little Samson listed on ebay is fake.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Little-Samson-Nintendo-1992-GREAT-CONDITION-/131122158193?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

I don't see a lot of the problems they're pointing out. I mean, I expected to immediately be able to tell it was fake after reading others' comments on the cart and how obviously counterfeit it is, but when I clicked the listing and looked at the pictures, it looked passable. I guess the fact that it's 5 screw should be a dead giveaway.

Can you tell? Apparently, a lot of fakes have been up for sale lately :-\

You bastered! I discovered this Little Samson auction minutes after it was posted. I've been the high bidder all day. Now, I have to compete with my own brother on it! It looked legit to me, that's why I bid on it.

Yeah, it looked real to me too. This has me questioning everything now. I took apart a couple of my rare games and the green circuit boards inside the cart say Nintendo on them. Are there other things to look for? Not really looking forward to opening every single one of my games, but if that's the only sure way to know for certain I suppose I would.

I try to avoid Hong Kong, Thailand, and China while shopping online to lessen chance of getting ripped, but I know a lot of that fake junk is still floating around pretty much everywhere. It kind of sucks having to look out for this shit.

Great, now I can start carrying around a bit tool all the time in case I need to verify a rare game I come upon. Total nerd alert ha ha!!

Edit: I was checking out some of the game collections recently posted on Nintendoage and was blown away.

Look at this:

Well its a good thing that you found out it was fake. I could kinda tell cause the picture of the label looked like it was fresh, and the chances of finding a like new Little Samson nowadays are extremely rare.

What is this about???

Megaman N64 with ESRP Rating of L

Came from the UK? We have Pegi rating system but before that was film classification board. Any ideas peeps.
Could the rest of the E been whited out or rubbed off maybe?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111290468479?_trksid=p2055120.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT



this game may be worth alot more than what im selling it for i dont know. but the best im going to do is $50.00 pluse free shipping. its in mint condition. works and tested. i found that it was worth $250.00 but on here i dont think anyone has seen this type of mega man game, so this might just be the best buy  in the mega man. and playing the game is all in English so dont think its a bad thing if you just want it to play.... good luck...........if this game is not everything im saying is true, ill give full refund and pay shipping back and full refund, ive never seen one like this i dont know what it is worth, but im not telling tells about what i got....... the info on it may not be correct but i couldnt find anything on it, do your search, you think its worth it it, buy it. i would think its worth more..........but what ever

I have even checked http://www.nesworld.com/n64releaselist.php Could it be legit?

** Answered my own question ** Its from Brazil.

Here is another:
