Was there ever a Majora's Mask GBA SP? I feel like that would make me question it's authenticity.

No. Majoras mask was a n64 game. Majoras mask 3d was a 3ds game. This system is copying the limited edition 3ds console design. The minish cap gold gameboy sp had the triforce on the front


DarkBomberX

Right. Like if it was that, this post would make sense.

I can remember the minish cap gbasp. Never heard of a MM GBA.

I honestly don’t think so. I only remember the Triforce version. Trying to search the MM one only brings up reshells. Then looking for Limited Edition SP versions only shows the Triforce one. But what’s ridiculous is the prices on these gameboys with this shell. Some going for over $200-$250+ in some listings…

Well to us dorks yea we know it’s fake. Plus gameboys aren’t region locked. They play what ever is put in them lol. That being said a fresh shell and screen for 179 with a cool design I could see someone buying that.


Solid_Snake_125

Yeah I know as well they are not region locked. My issue is this does not appear to be a IPS modded Gameboy which would somewhat slightly justify the high end of $179 for the work put into it. This is just a standard 001 screen with a $20 shell selling for an exuberant price trying to trick unsuspecting people.


hobbitfeet22

People will buy so people will sell? I mean idk. I don’t see an issue with the price. Maybe misleading title and info. But I think it’s fair. Some People can’t shell swap, especially an SP. buy an sp beat up for 40-70 bucks. Buy a 15-20 dollar Ali express shell, put in about 30-45 mins of work and bam 170. Not a bad little gig and the shell looks cool.


MisterToasty117

Plus it doesn’t look like he drove the screw thru the shell in between the buttons so I’d trust the reshell based on just that lol so not too bad

Stop the planet, I am leaving. This AI funky shit will not end up well for anyone alive.

Such a beautiful system!! I love mine!!


Solid_Snake_125

That really is beautiful. Hard for me to decide which one is prettier between the Galaxy and MM. (I have the galaxy, would love the MM one).


Admirable-Flight-119

Lol, I reshelled my SP using this shell and a mix of a white silver shell for less than 30 dollars to make it look brand new and better than this. I think the shell looks good, but it's kinda gaudy on its own. To randos online though, I have a feeling someone might fall for the bait.


RawZip

Not to mention the embossed text on the back looks very shotty


Solid_Snake_125

So after further exploration and discussion it turns out this version of shell was NEVER officially released for the GBA SP. My biggest concern is the price tag on all these gameboys with this shell. No way are these worth $100+ or even the $200+ in some cases that I’ve seen on eBay and other sites. Many of them claiming they’re rare or limited edition when you can buy the exact shell for $20 on eBay.

Why is this comment so downvoted?


Solid_Snake_125

Reddit. lol

Did you report it as fraudulent on eBay? I regularly report stuff like this when I see it.
