I reported these eBay listings. The user also has other bootleg listings. I found this kind of interesting.

Edit:
Searching on eBay for these two games, the lists are over-populated with these bootlegs and are by different users using the same picture!

Is it possible that different countries have different covers?

[Chani]

You'd think if they went through all the trouble of making different covers for different countries, the foreign ones would have titles in foreign languages.

I could be wrong, though. I'm no expert on this stuff.

The last time I checked, ESRB was a North American video game rating organization.

Ooh, good eye, Wild! I wouldn't have thought about that at all. Haha. Well, good thing there's people like you out there.

Also note the crookedness and off-center of the label and logos and the cuts made to it. Also note the codes on the bottom-right corner. The bootlegs have AREP and ADAP and the authentic games have ASME and AMCE respectively. The "Official Nintendo Seal" is revised for the authentic and the bootlegs are using the old "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" (example in the following video starting at 2:14):

I wouldn't have picked up on any of that stuff. o.O I feel really uneducated right now, haha. It's seriously good of you for pointing it out and trying to see that it's fixed.

I'm seeing a lot of these bootleg games lately. I feel sorry for the people who end up buying them.
