Legit PAL Terranigma cart?

[Retrozoa]

I just bought a PAL terranigma cart, and I'm having trouble determining if it is real or not. It behaves on the system in exactly the way a real one would, but one or two things on the cartridge and circuit board are throwing me off, specifically the dats on them and the 'made in japan' note. Here are the pics, let me know if these are normal:

I'm not too experienced with PAL cart's exteriors, but my SFC carts look identical on the back (except for languages on the label). Looking at the PCB, I can tell you for sure that it's 100% authentic. I can tell just by looking at it. The main things to point out would be the simple fact that the board uses a Nintendo CIC and MAD-1 decoder as well as a brand name (Maxell) battery. A pirate cart wouldn't have such things.

I just checked 5 of my PAL SNES games at random. They are all made in Japan.

Oh, I didn't know if you were asking if it's weird that it was made in Japan, or the way it looked on the cart (like maybe official PAL carts aren't stamped like that). But yeah, most SNES (PAL and NTSC-U) and SFC games are made in Japan. I know some later production runs, and maybe some other odd balls, were made in Mexico. Or at least, assembled in Mexico. I'm not aware of any other locations of production. But yeah, for the most part, all of the carts are made in Japan.

I would say it is real, Ziggy says the insides are real. And I can tell you from living in a PAL zone, that the Made in Japan is 100% normal and the sticker on the back is normal (Though mine are in English, that looks German).

Is it a German copy? If it is a English copy with that back of the cart, then maybe someone swapped out the damaged back with that German one.

It actually looks like there are two different languages on the back, one seems French and the other is definitely German.

You're correct. That is definitely French and German.

Obviously it is already confirmed as real, but no bootleg would bother printing a Nintendo copyright on the board and it would look like crap, as would the components mounted on it.

These are GBA carts, but look at the difference in quality.

Alright, thanks for the tips guys. I'll be honest, the main reason I was suspicious it was fake was because I got it from an ebay seller for $50, which is absurdly low for this cart. Thanks again.
