However sometimes in fake games the logo is there but it is stuck on with adhesive to the inside of the box, rather than printed onto the box directly. If there is no logo, the game is a fake for sure. One more thing that is easy to check from the box is that in real games, the box has the 'Nintendo DS' logo embossed directly onto the plastic of the box.

This may seem like petty detail, but the pirates who take your money for fake games don't expect you to be so vigilant when identifying these kinds of errors. More subtly, (8), which is not visible in the picture, shows that the small protruding nodes on the spine of the game do not have a ring around them in authentic boxes, but they do in the fake boxes. (7) in the image shows that the fake game has two separate nodes to hold in booklets real Nintendo game boxes only have one.

If there is no booklet, what else can we look at? Well it isn't too hard to pick up empty cases for DS games, but there are a few differences between those which contain authentic Nintendo products and those which do not.
