Game reproductions, do they exist? If so, how can you tell?

Often GBA and DS bootlegs try to resemble US English in design (if at times badly so), even coming from countries where that's improbable.

I also agree with checking Gameboy Advance boxes. sometimes they have a faded or stretched out look. blame it on crappy mass produced bootlegs.

it's so much easier when you're physically inspecting the boxes, not so when you're just looking at them online.

also when buying online you should check the sellers past history.unless the dude is a rich Hoarder with time to waste,be wary of his copy of Final Fantasy 4 Advance. he's probably sold a dozen of them in the past few months.

as the old saying goes, " if it's too good to be true..... there's probably a Chinese bootlegger involved. :D

Edit: I posted something over at the WTF lol eBay thread that might be relevant to this topic.
