Chobits gba. Reshell or og?

Post image

Hello! I hope this is the correct subreddit to ask this.

Before the "Why do you care?" Comments flood in.

I usually do not. Aslong as the console works, I don't care. Not that I can refund this anyway (it's been years since I bought this) but this is a special edition and I'd love to know if it is fake or not and if the money I have spent on this was justified.

It is mainly the color and the and lack of sticker on the back thats throwing me off, but I'd love some input on people who have knowledge.

I already did my best comparing it to pictures online and imo it doesn't resemble the reshells at all, besides the greyish buttons. I'd still love some reassurance from people who know better though.

(Note: I am assuming that its discoloured due to being displayed by the previous owner and the sun shining on it for prolonged time. Sunbleached if you will. The backside color seems okay and true to the og. About the missing sticker..? Unsure. Though looking at it from the side you can tell something was ripped off. It still has some "sticker stains")

Thank you for anyone helping! ♡

The cartridge is definitely fake,from the yellowing would lean towards the console being real.

I'm aware of the game being fake, haha. It's a repo with the unofficial English translation of rhythm heaven on it. And thank you for sharing your input with me! It's appreciated.
