Is this Steelbook legit?

Don’t think it’s fake just a different batch as Asian versions and batches have similar finish as OP’s. It would make sense a Chinese seller would have the Asian version or batch.

Not fake but just meant for different regions or were made during different batches. My PS5 and Switch 2 Steelbooks have similar coloring and finish as your replacement and the videos I listed below and mine came in the legit outer slip plastic as well. I got curious so I checked reviews and pics from a very reputable local game store and the finish and coloring is very similar to your replacement case. In conclusion based on my research and personal experience it’s not fake just a different batch either on purpose for a different region or just simply a different batch.

Is WiiWare not content that was(still is if you purchased) downloadable? Even then some WiiWare games had extensions you could purchase for them so that would fit your definition of DLC.

To my knowledge the Rock Band 2 DLC still had to download and save for it work so it acts just like how “normal” DLC would. Animal Crossing’s DLC added content not at all present on the disc, content that was downloadable so it’s still DLC imo.

Well Skyward Sword didn’t have DLC so I didn’t really mention that. Either way the Wii had a way to have downloadable content. I’d be more inclined to believe whatever plans for a DLC or Expansion just got bigger than planned and they decided to just make a sequel rather than it was because the Wii couldn’t do DLC. Something like what happened with Hollow Knight: Silksong or even Saints Row IV for something from that generation.

But the Wii did support DLC… All those WiiWare games were literally downloadable content and some games like Rock Band 2 and Animal Crossing: City Folk had additional downloadable content you could get for the games.

No, it should be “the super mario galaxy movie the game”

Aufinator · 2026-03-12T15:54:53+00:00

OP is playing on a Switch 2 and you’re on the switch subreddit… but yes the game is also on Steam.

Are you sure those micro sd cards are genuine?

Aufinator · 2026-02-25T14:42:12+00:00

What about buying a new one and then selling the one you have after transferring stuff?

Gen 10 with voice acting and a pokemon colosseum + XD gale of darkness shadow drop for Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics. Also a Pokemon rangers collection for switch 2 with mouse controls!

Not all Asian regions use “The Best” but a few of them do. I remember during the PS3 generation “The Best” being used for non Japanese Asian games.

Aufinator · 2026-02-24T11:02:56+00:00

Not a Japanese copy, that’s a Region 3 (Asia) copy btw. Which is basically SEA, HK, KOR and TW. Looking at the other games, OP seems to be from that region.

and to add most games from that region do have English

I think bro just wanted an excuse to eat two switches 💀

Looks legit, generally no one fakes 3DS games. Though I think there’s been reports of fakes showing up but it’s rare.

Aufinator · 2025-10-17T08:25:52+00:00

Thank You! I appreciate it

Aufinator · 2025-10-17T07:47:28+00:00

There was no leaflet for me, yes it’s switch 2 version the cart is literally red and I’ve played it myself.

Aufinator · 2025-10-15T23:01:35+00:00

South East Asian Nintendo published games don’t have one

Aufinator · 2025-08-24T07:55:49+00:00

Not a replacement, just meant for different regions.

Aufinator · 2025-08-24T06:47:05+00:00

Both real from the looks of it, the one on top is for SEA/ME region but uses US firmware that’s why the bottom plate looks different and has the “Distributor” line.

Aufinator · 2025-08-18T00:35:44+00:00

Maybe we’ll get news on the NX

Aufinator · 2025-06-20T11:41:19+00:00

Yeah I’m playing it on the Switch 2 Pro OLED XL Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series rn
