Counterfeit copies of authentic Nintendo game software are offered by unscrupulous traders.

Hints for consumers to spot counterfeit game software:

• The pricing is often well below average wholesale or retail prices. If “it seems too good to be true” – it probably is
• It may be missing packaging or manuals
• The printing on the packaging is blurred, faded, discoloured or of poor quality
• May include a compilation of games on one disc or memory card from a number of different publishers

A further list of tips can be found under the How to Detect section.
