Any Ideas What This Is? (NES Game)

Hello, i recently picked up this NES game at a pawn shop. When I turn the game on the title screen says that it's "Arkanoid II" There is no Arkanoid II for NES that I know of.  I cannot find this cart anywhere on the internet. Thinking it's an unreleased cart maybe? Hope you guys can help!

    It looks like a pirate cart, at least that's my best guess..



    Ver interesting though..  if you ever decide to sell it..  I'm sure there are many here who would be interested..  I know I am..

    It's a pirate copy of Arkanoid.

    Is there anyway to find out what a pirate cart may be worth? There's no real way to find out how many was produced.

    Its pretty much worth what someone's willing to pay. The more interesting the pirate, the more its worth, but theres really no set value.

    Arkanoid II was released for the Famicom, so it could very well be a pirate of that game (as opposed to an Arkanoid pirate).



    It isn't worth a whole lot, but I would think an Arkanoid II pirate would be worth more than its predecessor due to the fact that it wasn't available for the NES. Could you snap a few gameplay photos so we can see which game it's a pirate of?

    Here's a (highspeed) video of Arkanoid 2 for the Famicom:





    Does this appear to be the version you have?



    Sorry for the highspeed footage, but it's the only video I could find that had some of the intro.

    Cart say HVC-001, so could be original Famicom cart... released in Hong Kong?

    Brazilian carts come in black casings, don't they? I don't know much about pirate carts and the like, though.

    No way.  I don't think there's a HK Arkanoid (although I could be wrong), and if there were it would look a lot different than that cart.  This is most certainly a pirate cart.

    Yeah, SOme brazilian carts come in this casing. Someone already saw a brazilian with a back label in chineese ?

    This is just a pirate cart, probably of Arkanoid II (Fami version). I wouldn't put the value at probably more than $15 IMO, but who knows, someone might give you more for it.

    Yes, the video looks like the same game I have. So is it a pirated version of Arkanoid II for the famicom that works on the NES?

    Video Dean is a pretty well known pirate company from Japan. Most of their games have the LC-## code on them somewhere. I say it is worth 20-25 ish.

    I'd give $20 shipped for it.
