goldenpp72 | 1,235 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Hey all, I have my own techniques for authenticating boxes typically and I do believe they serve me well, for the FF Guy box though It's a bit out of my element, and for DK math, pretty sure it's totally legit but it was expensive and I guess I'd like some reassurance from the experts, here are some pictures for you all to dissect, not the best condition but I'm satisfied enough if they are good, I do believe both are, but FF Guy is the one I just have no reference for. Don't worry all, I won't be spamming the site with this stuff, just been doing a lot of authentication, just finished my whole GB set which was a nightmare, baby steps.

Renmauzo | 1,205 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I'm guessing your camera skews warmer where colour is concerned, so the saturation looks a little high on Final Fight Guy but otherwise, spacing and orientation looks identical to mine (I got mine from LaC about 5 years ago). I don't have DK Jr. Math, so I can't speak to that one unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a high color saturation shooter for sure, which I like since I'm one of those types, so if you notice a bit more saturated color that would be the camera, I could likely adjust the filters on it though if needed.

jonebone | 1,307 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Both look good. Wear is authentic and helps validate honestly. If they were too Mint then I'd be more worried. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMR | 521 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Is there another box that looks more like the typical SNES box? I feel like I remember seeing the other version from way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always had the weird orange box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a pic from the NintendoAge thread of someone’s find. There were also 2 sealed found initially when Nintendo of Canada had a sale. I think @maximus_clean has one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenpp72 | 1,235 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 I'd be curious to know the story behind why it exist to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of back and forth on this a decade plus ago when these were found. Initially people thought they might’ve been Canadian versions, but most everyone settled on these being versions that were going to be released, then they signed a deal for a blockbuster exclusive, made the orange box and these never really got released. The biggest evidence being that all of the copies found came from Nintendo employees, or a Nintendo auction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,949 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 So like but definitely as much so not like, the other game with very alternative box art people go nuts for that didn't really think existed exactly until it popped up -- Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

Sounds like these wouldn't count towards a full set then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
