Came with a sticker on the cartridge. The handle has the wrong finish/plastic. There is no "Readme" brochure in the package. Obvious signs of fake. I've had some time since the forger did a damn good job of faking it. He even had a similar warning sticker on his line. It's still very cool. In any case, there are no quick buys for me anymore. I usually just appreciate the real deal, but the stick is tight and the buttons are actually so close to the official deal that it's almost impossible to tell the difference. To be honest it's not a bad idea to have an extra cartridge and my second cartridge looks too good to use anyway. lol To be honest, unless they started making them in a completely different way (haha, no), there's not the slightest chance in the devil's fire that this little kid isn't fake. The seller knew better and sold anyway.
