SNES Sealed Controller, Fake?

ziggy

hi, a local seller has this, is fake? and if it's original, is sealed or resealed?



I don't know the box looks too fat... looks like exactly this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Super-Nintendo-Game-Controller-SEALED-Authentic-OEM-1991-IN-BOX/173302635940?_trkparms=aid=777003&algo=DISCL.MBE&ao=2&asc=44039&meid=e68c7f8991c74ca78c29359aab437904&pid=100012&rk=1&rkt=12&sd=263548868118&itm=173302635940&_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985



any help? thanks



HERE'S THE PICS FROM THE SELLER

Way fake. Not even the proper red font.

The round ring around the ABXY buttons looks too dark. I've seen only 3rd party controllers with that color. It should be light grey.



Also the font of the words "Super Nintendo" in red at the bottom of the box looks off.



Overall I would say it's suspicious.

Fake for sure. The font is way off.

Controller picture looks photoshopped in, too. Wrong angle, like someone free transformed it from a scan.

Chinese clone fake from the 90's I think.

Also, real SNES controller boxes weren't shrink wrapped.

Krunch

Fake fake fake but the thickness of the box isn't the giveaway, real ones are like that. Like others said, that font is completely wrong

lol, read the back. "Super NSF Controller" instead of "Super NES Controller". Also the "Super Famicom" instead of "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" part.

Thank You Guys!!!!!!!

Both versions came sealed with a V-seam just like the games had.

Weird. I bought both new back in the day and I’m pretty sure mine were not sealed. Perhaps I remembered incorrectly or the retailers who requested hang tags got shrink wrap?

Nobody's mentioned the convex X and Y buttons yet.

No kidding. I mean come on, if you're going to try and make a fake at least get the text right.
