So what exactly happened with this cart?

Top: U.S. Lunar Legend cart.
Bottom: ????

Is this a different version from like, another country or something?
Thanks!

Odd...

My first guess is that the bottom one is bootleg (no "Nintendo Seal", no ESP logo, yet it still has the E rating). But I'd have to have more information than just the photograph, so I can't say for certain. KF

Just in case it wasn't clear, that definitely is not the Japanese one. I think Kizyr's probably correct. The only other explanation that would come to mind is if it were an early version or something, like a prototype or review copy; I know some went out before the game went into production but would have assumed they'd have been flash carts. What's the photo from?

Oh thanks for your responses!
Yes I also knew it wasnt the japanese cart.
AND I found this on ebay, only like 3 times from different sellers though.

This is illegal release of Lunar Legend, and i'm 100% sure of this. GBA have a lot of illegal game releases that u can find on eBay.

It's pretty easy to tell which cartridge is illegal version. For example "GAME BOY ADVANCE" words on original cartridge:

and illegal releases:

There is a lot more about this, but i don't have link to an art in english language. More photos can be see here:
