It’s not made of real gold, but it might sell like it is.

    I like how they say that you’d be able to tell it was real by plugging it into an NES, as if nobody can make a working NES cart in 2024

      Many of the components on that things pcb are either unique or no longer produced and haven’t been for quite some time. It would be almost impossible to make a fake without it being possible to detect that it’s fake. You can’t even get that dip switch anymore for example and that’s just what you can see without taking it apart. Black dip switch, white front panel and blue plastic switches. They only exist in Nintendo world championship carts. If you’re looking at one in person and it has that exact dip switch, it’s almost certainly real.

      The seller should still show a picture of pcb though to prove it if they haven’t already. Saying that it works in a regular nes isn’t proof.

        Yeah obviously you can verify it’s real I was just making fun of the verge thinking plugging it in means anything
