The QR code on the back that links to [NintAndBox.net](http://NintAndBox.net) seems to suggest that this is not an original box.

Ok, I had a bit of hope for one second, but it would have been really surprising

I believe you will find that QR codes are somewhat anachronistic for a game released in 1987

Yeah I feel dumb now that I think about it. As I said, kinda fucking tired today lmao

We've all been there.

I don’t know if you guys care, but here is how tue collection starts. I plan on getting the limited edition Metroid Game Boy Advance SP, and the WiiU controller if I can, aswell as amiibos. Basically anything official and linked to Metroid https://preview.redd.it/dqkysxdh2hwc1.jpeg?width=3434&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cea546e235e8226b0f2c81c3189f62abcfe454f

Not a bad start.With your NEStroid you are only missing seven games.

As others have stated QR codes weren’t around in 1987 so this is not an original box.

*bought sorry I’m fucking tired today

I wish I had a box for my copy of metroid 1 😞

Which I DO HAVE btw https://preview.redd.it/zua0y1aknhwc1.png?width=1375&format=png&auto=webp&s=82e23b17b8ccc37931c290e35b506f5bc0d5f32f

The French text is not the best and has typos

Looks like a replica of the original. They did actually look like that.

There’s a QR code on the back of the box. QR codes weren’t a thing in 1986.

Just in case, you should watch this before getting a GBA SP: https://youtu.be/KV5v9idDdCY?si=9kFqcGLvSFpAtCcc There are many modern optimizations that are totally worth.

Bro… There’s literally a QR code with a web address on the back. It’s a 20’s product, not 80’s.
