silentshadow56 | 0 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hello All! First let me preface this by saying I'm more than proficient in spotting fake N64 cartridges (I can honestly tell they're fake just by holding them without looking at anything else), but I wanted to hear from the community if there aren't any tips or tricks that I'm absolutely missing? ANY advice you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated because it may be the simplest of things that I've never noticed that's a great way to spot a fake. Thanks!

Dr. Morbis | 2,116 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Almost every fake N64 cart I've ever seen has had a glossy back label, so that's a good thing to check out right off the back... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyree_Cooper | 837 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 you may want to study what they look like where most of them come from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002715939303.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Warrior | 288 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 A lot of N64 fakes have a dot over the "i" on Nintendo on the back instead of a little square...kind of tough to see in pics sometimes tho... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Nintendo Chalmers | 53 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 A bit late to the party but some other signs include: - American classification E rating logo with a PAL Nintendo Seal of Approval logo (The NTSC Nintendo SoA logo is oval-shaped) on the label. - Poorly cut label which is disproportionately smaller than the cart - Cart colour is a lighter shade of grey - Overly lighter/darkened colours on label - Overly bolded "off-looking" text, eg. many repros have the Nintendo logo slightly thicker and less cleaner than legit. carts.
