You can tell it's a fake. The NES can't show that many colors, no matter how pixelated it is. Drop the color depth to 16 color, and you have a winner.
Captian Obvious will leave now.

actually, the picture on the nes cartridges were pretty good. The pixelation was unnecessary.

And why, rad, would the picture on the cartridge have to be restrained by the system's capabilities? It's not like they couldn't print more than sixteen colours back then.

Depends on what year the games were made.
If you look at initial releases, SMB, DuckHunt, ExciteBike, and others you'll notice the actual graphics were shown as the cartridge art because it was the leading edge in graphic capability.
But since NS is a graphic marvel for the engine it is on, it seems more fitting that if it were released on the NES, it would have used actual ingame pixelated glory to show off its superior graphics. Other wise, it would have been simply the logo art.
If this was an attempt to show it as an actual sample of Graphics, it's still too complex. If it is simple cartridge logo art, why even pixelate the logo?
EDIT: And by the design of the sticker below the log, this leads to suggest this was an older cartridge, and logo art was probably not used. Therefore, it would be more fitting to place actual in game graphics on the game.
Now that I have delved into a simple gag way too far, I shall stop.

Couldn't be bothered to make a new thread so I'll post it here and ask a German to:
- Verify to the best of his ability that it is Nemesis Zero (I never knew he was German).
- Translate what has been said. I read a translation that only seemed to include one section of his post.
Thanx
[Edit #2:] His profile says he was born on the 29 May 1984, so I'm guessing it's not Ner0.

All the better to play on NES. Hopefully it won't be as hard as Battletoads.

It DOES sound like Nem, and he's just done with his "Zivi" (which I got done with a little over two years ago), so the age checks out. Interesting read really.

Care to enlighten us on the other snippets of info?

Well, it's about NS:S. It can be summed up as: Dunno. He mentions several examples, such as skulk movement, which is basically a hack of the HL ladder code (skulks treat every surface as if it was a ladder). I cba to translate the whole thing.

Nem's first name is "Florian", an extremely German name.
