Another strange SNES box. I thought this one was always super sized like Earthbound.

    That looks like a display box.

    the lack of not saying Super Nintendo in red makes me think it is display as well.

    Must be, but damn cool anyways. It's obviously not the generic "For Display Only" boxes, but I'm sure it was just put out there to promote BM.

    There were specific guidelines all companies had to follow as far as the box is concerned...the two obvious ones are the emblem (bottom right) needed to be on the front of the box and the 16 yellow dots had to be on the front as well....there's other requirements but to be honest I can't remember them off the top of my head.

    I have a box in my collection that looks more like a retail box. Its almost the same as the one pictured above.

    It could very well have been a box that didn't finish the printing process.

    I don't think so.  Although the two boxes pictured look similar, buyatari's has some very unique differences. for one, the front artwork takes up the whole space, where the other one does not.

    Ahh, nice catch...didn't look close enough.

    Yeah that almost looks like a fake box, like Limbo said the box doesn't exhibit any of the mandatory SNES features.
  • DazzDazz
    definately a fake.

    Considering that a lot of the other unfolded boxes from the buyatari lot were Hudson boxes, and he stated that they came from someone in the industry, I think that a mock up is a lot more likely than a fake.
  • srh201srh201
    definitely NOT a fake, unless the seller created it himself. it is definitely more likely that this was essentially a prototype of the box... seeing as though the final box looks a lot like this one.
  • buyatari2buyatari2
    Yeah no way it is a fake. It wasn't higlighted in the sale as being special just one of 75 boxes. It come from someone in the industry. Perhaps used for internal only reasons, mockup or prototype or whatever but not worth the hassle to fake. I think I paid $3 a box.

    you got ripped off. i will give you $3 each for the boxes just so that you can recoup your costs. image
